What are the best gigging charters in Espiritu Santo Bay?

The best gigging charters in Espiritu Santo Bay are:

    Why should I book a gigging charter in Espiritu Santo Bay with Captain Experiences?

    All guides on Captain Experiences are licensed, insured, and vetted by our team. You can access their reviews, click through trip photos, read bios to get to know them, and preview trip details like species, techniques, group sizes, boat specs and more.

    What types of gigging charters are common in Espiritu Santo Bay?

    Inshore fishing is the most popular type of fishing for gigging in Espiritu Santo Bay.

    The most commonly sought after species for gigging in Espiritu Santo Bay is flounder.

    How much do Espiritu Santo Bay gigging fishing charters cost?

    Prices for gigging in Espiritu Santo Bay can range anywhere from about $630 to $870, but the average price for a half day trip for gigging in Espiritu Santo Bay is $750.

    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.

    What month is best for on a gigging charter in Espiritu Santo Bay?

    The most popular season to go on a gigging charter in Espiritu Santo Bay is fall, and most anglers book their trips 105 days in advance.
