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: Destin Bottom Fishing And Trolling!

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Chris is an excellent captain! I'll only be requesting him for my off shore excursions from here on out, until he decides to hang out up. You should, too! He really knows his stuff and is well versed in explaining it to ppl like me that need it explained. Very fair, but isn't afraid to tell you what you need to do, as expected. My son, 12, was the star of the trip, and was his 1st charter. If you want knowledgeable, personal, punctual, and practical, look no further. His reviews speak it all.

    Trip: Mixed Bag Fishing- Destin, Florida

  • ★★★★★
    First time deep sea fishing. Phenomenal experience. Captain Ryan definitely knew his stuff. Four hour fishing trip was tiring and packed with fun. It was tiring because we were constantly reeling in fish. We will make this our mandatory activity when we visit Destin.
