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.

    Really excellent time with Carlo! He knows the spots to catch fish and tailors the trip to what you want it to be. Great boat and all the help fishing you want. Highly recommended and I'm already planning another trip with him.

    Trip: Besting Charleston's Beasts

  • ★★★★★
    The morning we spent with Zack was great! I was with my two teenage sons and son-in-law. Zack clearly has the experience and knowledge of someone who has been doing this for a long time. He was awesome to work with and was a lot of fun. We would do again for sure if we make it out to Hilton Head in the future.

    Trip: Half Day Fishing Charter

  • ★★★★★
    Carlo is the man. Great communication as we approached our trip as weather was a factor. Made it easy for a bunch of us who had limited fishing experience. Would book with him again in a heartbeat.

    Trip: Besting Charleston's Beasts

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Matt was a great guide. He had a very clean boat and was willing to teach some of us inexperienced fishers. He was courteous and friendly throughout the trip. The boat ride allowed us to see other parts of South Carolina we would not see otherwise. He was kind enough to rescheduled us when our original date was going to have terrible weather. Captain Matt also made sure we caught fish during our fishing trip. He tried different ways of fishing to catch them given the weather. We were able to catch enough fish to then head to Water's Edge where they cooked our fish for us for dinner. He helped us find restaurants nearby where we could do this. Overall, a wonderful experience with Captain Matt. We highly recommend booking with him.
