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.

Deep sea fishing in The Bahamas


The Bahamas, an archipelago comprising hundreds of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is globally renowned as a premier destination for offshore fishing. Known for its crystal-clear waters, stunning coral reefs, and pristine beaches, the Bahamas offers anglers access to some of the most fertile fishing grounds in the world.

The waters around the Bahamas teem with a rich variety of fish species, making it a paradise for both recreational and serious anglers. The area is particularly famous for its big game fishing, offering opportunities to catch species such as Blue Marlin, Sailfish, Wahoo, Mahi-Mahi (Dorado), and various types of Tuna. The archipelago's unique geographical location, surrounded by deep Atlantic waters, creates an ideal environment for a diverse range of offshore fishing adventures.

The Bahamas' offshore fishing is characterized by its exceptional quality and diversity. From the shallow flats perfect for bonefishing to the deep-sea trenches where larger pelagic species roam, the archipelago caters to all types of fishing preferences. The proximity of the deep waters means that prime fishing spots are often just a short boat ride away from the islands.

The Bahamas offers a plethora of fishing charters with experienced captains skilled in navigating these prolific waters. These charters provide various options to suit all levels of experience, from half-day excursions perfect for families or beginners to full-day and multi-day adventures for more ambitious anglers. The expertise of the Bahamian captains in locating the best fishing spots and employing effective techniques ensures a successful and memorable fishing trip.

For sportfishing enthusiasts, the waters around the Bahamas are particularly attractive. The challenge of landing a trophy Marlin or engaging in a battle with a feisty Tuna offers an exhilarating experience. The archipelago is also a popular location for fishing tournaments, attracting competitive anglers from around the globe.

Beyond its offshore fishing opportunities, the Bahamas offers a rich tapestry of experiences. The islands are known for their laid-back atmosphere, vibrant culture, and a range of activities both on land and in the water. From the bustling streets of Nassau to the secluded cays and beaches, the Bahamas provide a perfect backdrop for a fishing trip combined with a tropical vacation.

    Trip: Paradise Island Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    This was truly one of the best charter experiences I've had in over 15 years of sportfishing. Since there is no land access to Spanish Wells, Shawn picked us up from the ferry port on the main island of N. Eleuthera. Capt. Shawn's boat is nothing short of a Rolls Royce on water. Shawn is the perfect guide. Quiet when you want him to be, but willing to share his decades of experience fishing in Spanish Wells when needed. We did an extended half day trip which got us to waters around 75 feet deep. The water is so clear here, you could see straight down to the bottom. We wore out some strawberry grouper, porgy, yellowtail snapper, and trigger fish all day. The highlight of the trip was when a pack of amberjack came right up under the boat. I grabbed the heaviest rod Shawn had and hooked a small porgy through the spine and dropped it down about 15 feet. This massive amberjack was toying with my bait for a few minutes right under my nose. Incredible adrenaline rush! He finally took it and instantly ripped out a couple hundred yards of line, reel absolutely screaming! Mr. Jack wore me out after about 15 minutes, and I passed the rod over to my buddy. We got him up to the boat but he was way too big for the net and he flopped out right on the gunwale. Didn't get a picture with him, but it was truly the fight of a lifetime. Another highlight of the trip, instead of taking us straight back to the marina to clean the fish, Shawn popped over to a huge shipwreck where we got out and snorkeled for a while. Then, he took us over to one of the dozens of gorgeous empty beaches that dot the area, dropped anchor, and cleaned the fish while we enjoyed the views, explored the beach, and threw a few back. Shawn was born and raised here, so you'd be hard pressed to find a fishing guide in Spanish Wells with more local knowledge. Everything about this trip was perfect, I would recommend it to any angler of any skill level.
