How much does a Portsmouth private trip cost?

Is booking a guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is in the wild every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of having a great trip.

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.

What month is best for tours in Portsmouth?

The most popular season for tours in Portsmouth is summer, and most people book their trips 10 days in advance.

    We did a sunset boat trip, had a great time with a beautiful view. Capt. Bob was informative, funny and friendly.

  • ★★★★★
    After a long week, I was looking forward to a nice, relaxing night on the sunset cruise. I could tell from Captain Bob’s texts prior to the cruise that he had a good sense of humor and was a great guy. He did not disappoint. He was good company, and we have a very relaxing evening. Very grateful that I was able to do this, and will definitely book Captain Bob next time that I’m in OBX.

    He was very welcoming and friendly and extremely knowledgeable and we had a wonderful time on our excursion. Can’t wait when we return on our next vacation and go out on the sound with him again. Thank you very much.
