What types of spearfishing charters are common?

Deep Sea fishing is the most popular type of fishing for spearfishing as well as nearshore fishing, inshore fishing, and flats fishing.

The most commonly sought after species for spearfishing are: 1. mahi mahi, 2. black grouper, 3. amberjack, 4. wahoo, and 5. barracuda.

How much do spearfishing fishing charters cost?

Prices spearfishing can range anywhere from about $750 to $3,160, but the average price for a half day trip spearfishing is $1,827. The average price for a full day trip spearfishing is $2,063.

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 spearfishing charter?

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

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

    This trip was so fun, we caught snapper, gafftop, and 2 stingrays, and one was a monster. Andrew knew where to go and his boat was very nice, he’s the best hype man too, always excited when a fish is on! Jeff was the bomb. He made sure we always had our lines ready and in the water and helped us pull up them Rays when our arms were wore out!
