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.

    Captain Tony was great! He made our time on the water perfect. It was our first time lobstering and it’s not as easy as it looks but we managed to catch the max. It was a trip we will not forget and hope to bring our boys next time. We will definitely be calling Captain Tony again.

    Tony was an awesome guide, he took us to the perfect spot for lobstering. Our family used to come to key west every year just for the mini season, but we’ve never been to a location with such shallow water. It really helped those of us who can’t hold our breath long! We had some trouble finding the lobster at first but captain Tony was able to guide us as to where to look and what to do, we ended up limiting out!

    Had a great experience with Captain Antonio. Would definitely use him again. If you are in Key West it would be a great way to spend time on the water. Catch some fish, catch some lobster, he can do it all.
