I highly recommend doing a 6 hour trip or an 8 hour trip more fun for everyone have a blessed day.

Hey Donnie, we're sorry to hear that the trip didn't live up to expectations. There are no guarantees in fishing but its always a letdown when the fish aren't biting the way you hope they will. When trolling you generally do not have a rod in for every customer, but rather a good spread that fits what you're targeting for the day, so 4 rods is by no means unusual nor does it decrease your chances of fish. I appreciate the opportunity we had to discuss this matter privately and provide you with a substantial coupon for a future trip. Looking forward to assisting you in planning the ideal family experience on your next visit.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to 1,600+ quality, vetted fishing and hunting guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, bait, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
