What types of white marlin fishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for white marlin as well as nearshore fishing and inshore fishing.

The most common fishing techniques are trolling, heavy tackle fishing, and bottom fishing but light tackle fishing and artificial lure fishing are popular as well.

How much do white marlin fishing charters cost?

Prices for white marlin can range anywhere from about $1,157 to $11,500, but the average price for a half day trip for white marlin is $3,230. The average price for a full day trip for white marlin is $4,888.

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.

What month is best for white marlin fishing?

The most popular season for white marlin fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 20 days in advance.

    What a day! We had the best experience with Captain James and his crew mate today. I highly recommend booking this trip. I will definitely book again.

    Trip: Pensacola Fishing Frenzy

  • ★★★★★
    It wasn’t fishing. It was like winning the lottery. Every time a hook went into the water, a fish would come up. This charter was the best I’ve ever taken. The crew was amazing. The captain knew exactly where to fish. These guys spoiled us.

    Trip: Hot Pursuit In The Gulf Stream

  • ★★★★★
    James and Dave provided an amazing experience for our family. They gave us an opportunity to hunt the big trophies and, when they weren't biting, put us on some delicious tilefish. We pulled up fish consistently for a couple hours and went back to trolling for the big one. We weren't able to bag a big tuna or marlin, but James and Dave worked hard to put us on big fish, told great stories, gave us a beautiful boat ride and made sure we caught plenty of fish for the cooler. I'd definitely do it again. It is a long day out, so be prepared for sun and some motion sickness. Pre-dosing sensitive riders is a good idea.

    Trip: Ocean City Offshore Excitement

  • ★★★★★
    My teenage daughter and I had a great trip with Captain Phil today. We weren’t out there long before my daughter reeled in a snapper. In total we caught snapper, Bonito, and Blackfin Tuna. After docking Capt Phil filleted, bagged, and iced the tuna for us.
