FAQ

What should I bring for the trip?

Most fishing charters suggest bringing sun screen, lunch, sunglasses, any beverages you want on the boat (no glass), and a camera (or camera phone).

What type of fish should I expect to catch?

Southwest Florida is known to carry snook, tarpon, redfish, spotted seatrout, and grouper. But be sure to ask your guide what is in season ahead of time.

Will I get to keep the fishing I catch on a fishing charter?

Yes, depending on what you catch and if it is in season. Just about every guide will let you keep the legal fish, for you to enjoy later.

How much does a fishing charter usually cost?

The typical fishing charter in Southwest Florida ranges from $75 – $150 per hour. This depends largely on the type of boat you are going out on and the captain.

Should I tip my fishing charter?

It is customary to tip 20% to a fishing charter. However if you don’t catch anything on your trip, then a lower tip is more appropriate.

What is inshore fishing?

Inshore fishing, which is also known as backwater fishing. Usually takes trips that are more in-land near mangroves, flats, and docks.

What is offshore fishing?

Offshore fishing, also know as Deep Sea fishing. Is 8+ miles away from land and is usually where you find larger game fish.

What is fly fishing?

Fly fishing is a type of fishing that usually requires a bit more skill and involves a large amount of slack on the fishing line and artificial fishing hooks.
