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 Zeek got us straight into the action and had us psyched all day!

    Great time, great fishing. Ezekiel was great, knew exactly what to and where to fish. We did “Not just go on a boat ride.” We caught a Yellow tail. Which was the icing on the cake.

    Butch and Roy were very welcoming and personable. They made the trip very exciting and inclusive of all on board (beginner and advanced). Lots of laughs and smiles all around. We cannot stop talking about how amazing of an experience this was today. This is a MUST DO!

    Trip: 3/4 day sport fishing Quepos CR.

  • ★★★★★
    Awesome trip, Captain Sam and his first mate Noah were extremely helpful. Captain had us in a school of bluefin within minutes of stopping. We all met our limit for the day! They cleaned them and bagged them. We got some really awesome pictures! Great trip and would highly recommend Captain Sam.
