How much do deep sea fishing charters cost?

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 deep sea fishing?

The most popular season for deep sea fishing is summer, and most anglers book their trips 54 days in advance.

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

    We booked a snorkeling / fishing tour with Steve. Thought we were gonna leave empty handed because didn’t really have any bites for the first 2.5 hours but ended up catching a nice Mahi at the end! He also took us to an awesome snorkeling spot - we saw sea turtles, sharks, sting rays and so many cool fish.

    Had a wonderful time! Eric was the most knowledgeable marine wildlife expert I’ve ever had. He was awesome with my kids and sooo patient! We caught some good fish, not as many as we would have liked, but it was a great day! Snorkeled over a sunken ship and that was unbelievable. Great time and highly recommend.

    Trip: 3-8 Hour Reef And Wreck Trip

    Captain Rich and his first mate Paul did an amazing job! We caught a dozen fish, mostly snappers and French grunts. All four of us are beginner anglers, but Rich and Paul showed us the ropes and had us catching fish in no time - as well as both having great banter and making it an entertaining trip. Highly recommend!
