My entire life I’ve always been one that can’t sit still. I have to be outside doing something like fishing, hunting, motocross racing and all sorts of out doors sports. As far as motocross racing goes it started in my early teens to my mid thirties and then repeated again in my fifties. I’ve since decided that it could be very dangerous at my age, so I decided being a fishing guide is the best...

My entire life I’ve always been one that can’t sit still. I have to be outside doing something like fishing, hunting, motocross racing and all sorts of out doors sports. As far as motocross racing goes it started in my early teens to my mid thirties and then repeated again in my fifties. I’ve since decided that it could be very dangerous at my age, so I decided being a fishing guide is the best for me and my future. I have absolutely no regrets about my decision because I love what I’m doing now and I still get my adrenaline rush while meeting people from around the country.

We had the most wonderful experience with Captain Marc (and Brenda). My son and I went on a half-day excursion in Novemeber during our Thanksgiving trip and it was such a great bonding time for the two of us. Captain Marc is super generous, knowledgable and patient. We highly recommend him and his fishing guidance:). My son was particularly excited about having his trout cleaned and getting to serve it to us...

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports 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, 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.
