Is booking a guide worth the money?

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

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

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.

    Our group had a great trip. Our guide gave us every chance to take lots of iguanas. Great attitudes and great hospitality. If we visit Florida again we will definitely be coming back!

    Roland was outstanding. My grandsons and son in law loved the fishing opportunity and greatly appreciated all the time he spent and his information and knowledge. The cruise was great, informative and so relaxing. Thank you Roland. We had a great time. Tim and crew.
