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.

    Captain Mark suited our group greatly. He and Tyler worked extremely hard to try and catch some fish and succeeded. We caught some fish and had a great time. Would use them again.

    Ron and Chris were incredible hosts. We were in town from Seattle without a clue of what group to book with. Both were super knowledgeable about all things fishing, made it easy for beginners to feel like pros and the boat was a smooth, fun ride. Overall, easily 5-stars. Would highly recommend.

    I took the family (wife, 2 boys and grandma) for a 6 hour charter and had a great time with Captain Ron and the crew, Chris and Brian. They were friendly, safety conscious and knowledgeable. Listening to other boats on the radio that day, the fishing wasn't great yet we hooked a barracuda and a bonita almost as soon as we dropped lines. This was followed up with a nice size mahi that grandma fought 😂 (they cleaned dockside and we took home to eat), 3 more barracudas and an amberjack. Chris was on the ball with keeping bait fresh and when we had multiple fish on, he had complete control of the cockpit. Pick up and drop off was easy. The boat had A/C and a bathroom that was a must have given the family and on a hot day, this made all the difference. I'd rebook the charter.

    I can’t say enough good things about Carl and Dom. What a great crew. They had us on fishing within 20 minutes of leaving the harbor and we were busy the entire trip! Their expertise and guidance helped us catch literally dozens of fish and we had the best time ever. Not only were they super friendly but also had complete control when the fish got close! I can’t recommend them enough. I can’t wait for my next trip with them!

    Amazing trip with an All-Star crew!!! Couldn’t ask for a better day weather wise and company wise. From arrival to the dock to leaving after 8 hours of fun filled day of catching fish, having laughter and just enjoying an absolute best time of our life’s. Mike and Dan are the best crew that anyone could ask. Strongly recommend anyone who wants to experience good fishing and knowledgeable personale to book with them. Looking forward coming back and have another amazing trip with these guys….
