Is booking a fishing guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a fishing guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced fishing guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is on the water every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear and tackle, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your home waters, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

    Captain Scott is awesome. Knows the areas waters intimately and had us in the fish all day. Definitely our go-to guide when we are in the Palm Beaches from now on.

    Trip: Jupiter Inshore

  • ★★★★★
    Had a great morning out on the water with Captain Richard and crew. Weather was great, water was a tad choppy but we still caught 2 Bonita, a couple tuna and a barracuda! Mate Dave said it was perfect eating at that size. Took him at his word and made a ceviche. Excellent! Who knew? And our small catch tuna made great poke bowls! We let the 5 ft shark go on his way! Cap Richard piloted us through the chop, excellent views, a decent catch. Plans to go again soon! Want to be on the ocean catching some dinner, book it with Capt Richard!
