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.

    Trip: Let's GO! DEEP Offshore Trip

  • ★★★★★
    We had several fish on our wish list that we wanted to try and catch and Captain Rodney did everything he could to make it happen. We took the 12hr trip and made several long runs going after black fin tuna and grouper but they just weren’t cooperating that day. Went for the Red Snapper and we killed them. They were huge and finished up the day with my son catching a 7ft 400lb bull shark and fighting it for over 1.5hrs before getting it in. Captain Rodney was very helpful in making sure he landed the fish even though they knew it was going to put him getting back late. It was a great experience for all of us and will most definitely be booking another trip with him in the future

    Trip: Harbor Hookup: Destin Fishing Fun

  • ★★★★★
    Capt. Jon was knowledgeable, accommodating, and simply first rate. We had a party of 5 with mixed levels of offshore fishing experience. Regardless, we caught plenty of fish and had an outstanding experience, not soon to be forgotten. The team at Captain Experiences made the booking and logistics a breeze. Definitely repeating when we are back at Rosemary Beach, no doubt about it.
