The most commonly sought after species for deep dropping are: 1. mahi mahi, 2. wahoo, 3. kingfish, 4. sailfish, and 5. blackfin tuna.

How much do deep dropping fishing charters cost?

Prices for deep dropping can range anywhere from about $1,095 to $4,700, but the average price for a half day trip for deep dropping is $1,578. The average price for a full day trip for deep dropping is $3,255.

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 going on a deep dropping charter?

The most popular season to go on a deep dropping charter is summer, and most anglers book their trips 34 days in advance.

Do I need a fishing license and what are the bag limits?

    We highly recommend using Capt. Will! Unfortunately the fish weren’t biting much, but Capt. Will and his First Mate made it a fun trip nonetheless. Great boat, plenty of room, bathroom, A/C, etc. We would definitely rebook with them!

    Trip: Fort Lauderdale Offshore

    We had the BEST time fishing with Captain Wayne and deck hand/first mate Corey. We caught tons of fish and had the most peaceful boat ride! Corey and Wayne were both the BOMB! Corey was so knowledgeable about the types of fish and was so quick to help and answer questions! Captain Wayne took us the some great fishing holes and made sure that we were safe! The worst part of the trip was when fishing time was over! We will be back!!!!

    Trip: New Smyrna Deep Sea Fishing

  • ★★★★★
    Great trip! They asked what we wanted to do, to which I replied "catch as many tasty fish as possible", and we did just that catching our limit of red snapper, king fish, a shark, and some baracuda. We spent a ton of time with rods in the water and they made it as exciting as possible for the kids that were in our group.

    Trip: Port A Deep Sea

  • ★★★★★
    EPIC DAY OFFSHORE!! Captain Clay and Dan (mate) were awesome and our offshore trip with me and my 2 teenage boys was epic. Action was nonstop when bottom fishing and we easily put full limit of red and vermilion snapper in our box. A couple of shark encounters kept it spicy. Icing on the cake was big mahi hook up we got while trolling on way our back in. These guys knew how to find the fish and what to do when you get there! The boat had plenty of comfy space for riding and fishing. The overall experience was smooth, organized and efficient. We had a blast and will use these guys anytime we want to go offshore.
