What types of tarpon fishing charters are common in Florida?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for tarpon in Florida as well as inshore fishing, flats fishing, and nearshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques in Florida are light tackle fishing, live bait fishing, and artificial lure fishing but bottom fishing and sight casting are popular as well.

How much do Florida tarpon fishing charters cost?

Prices for tarpon in Florida can range anywhere from about $550 to $1,500, but the average price for a half day trip for tarpon in Florida is $786. The average price for a full day trip for tarpon in Florida is $1,087.

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.

    Trip: Key West Tarpon Hunt

  • ★★★★★
    Believe all the good reviews Andrew has. We had such a great time in the Everglades catching sea trout, jacks, snapper, snook, a bull shark and a nurse shark. Couldn’t have been more pleased with this captain and deckhand. Very polite and prompt on getting you baited up and back in the water. If you are reading this review and wondering who to book a trip with, do not hesitate to book with Andrew.
