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 eco tour tours?
The most popular season for eco tour tours is spring, and most people book their trips 12 days in advance.

We had such a great time on our fishing charter with Dillon! My kids and I had an absolute blast. We caught tons of great fish and learned a few fishing tricks too. The whole experience was so much fun & Dillon made it a great time from start to finish. It was the perfect way to have fun family time, and we would definitely do it again. Highly recommend this charter!

Edwin was a great captain. Fished with my two young sons and Edwin kept it appropriate for them. Made sure we saw some action and kept it safe. Definitely would recommend him to anyone going out on the water near Marco or Naples.

Incredible! Stunning! So fun! The crew is very experienced. They were able to accommodate our ship leaving early. Snorkeling with the sea turtles was our favorite part. Book with Captain J, you will not regret it!

Had a good time didn’t catch anything to keep. Got a lots of garbage fish. All in all Edwin tried hard. Luck just wasn’t there. That’s fishing.

Incredible experience! Captain Edwin receives 5 stars from us! Our three teenage boys are hard to please and they had so much fun! We caught lots of fish and saw tons of dolphins! It was an amazing trip for our family; one we will never forget.
