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.

    Had a great time and caught some fish. Would have loved to have limited out on this trip but that’s just fishing. Maybe next time we’ll limit out and we definitely enjoyed our trip.

    Trip: Offshore Jigging / Trolling

  • ★★★★★
    Took a 6 hour trip on August Holiday booking was very easy, for a group of 4 adults. We had a wonderful day trip fishing with one of the charter skippers, Captain Des Bot he and his Mate Jamie were extremely knowledgeable, friendly and helpful we really could not have wished for a more helpful experience especially as we are far from experienced at fishing especially in Florida. The results we managed to obtain targeting fish we could eat and have some fun with could not have been better delivered. For the table we caught plenty of Snapper all varieties more than enough to feed out family of 8. We also managed to have a lot of fun with Grouper both red and small Goliath. All was delivered over three or 4 locations on the Bay side due to rough conditions in the gulf, so it made for a very rewarding comfortable da. To cap it all off the catch was all expertly prepared and bagged ready for us to take to a superb recommendation location Sparky's Landing who prepared a beautiful variety of meals, blackend, tacos and crumbed the snapper was just beautiful. all in all I could not be happier with the service and value.
