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.

    Great day with Ken! Had a blast kept us in the fish all day long. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Will definitely be booking him again on our next trip.

    Trip: Islamorada Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Took a trip out with my dad and we had a fantastic time. Captain Ken put us right on the fish throughout the entire day with ease. We were able to catch multiple species of fish steadily throughout the entire day without any lapse. In addition to catching big fish, we were able to see a nice variety of wildlife (dolphins, sharks, osprey, saltwater crocs, numerous species of birds). I would highly recommend booking a full day trip with Captain Ken. You will catch high quality fish and have a very pleasant day.

    Trip: Reefs And Wreck Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Frank was awesome, my favorite Captain ever and I have fished with many guides and Captains. We all caught great fish, told great stories, and had a great time with lots of laughs. I look forward to booking with Captain Frank again next time we are in the Keys.

    Trip: Reefs And Wreck Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Easily one of the best fishing trips I have been on! Ken called me several days before the charter to ask what expectations I had for the trip and what my target species were. I could tell Ken was very knowledgeable about the Florida waters as he put us on the fish with in the first few casts of the trip! He gave us tips and tricks throughout the trip on how to better cast and catch fish. In totally we caught 25 - 30 fish throughout the trip. We kept 4 Sea Trout for dinner that night. Ken beautifully filleted the trout for us at the end of the trip. Next time I'm down in the Keys I will definitely be booking a trip with Ken again!!
