Choose the experience. Understand the plan.
A good comparison starts with more than a price. Consider the fishing you want, your group, the time on the water and the boat that suits the trip. Our fishing charter prices are published below, by trip and boat.

All-inclusive meal plan: $110 per person per day, covering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lodge rooms are priced per night, plus tax. Cancel within 48 hours of booking for a full refund, unless you book within 7 days of your trip. After that, deposits are non-refundable. Deposits and gift cards stay valid for 5 years. A fuel surcharge applies only when the national price of regular unleaded is above $4.00 per gallon; see Policies & Waivers.
Compare the kind of day
Offshore choices range from nearer reef-fishing trips to shelf, long-range, overnight tuna and extended deep-drop experiences. Inshore fishing follows marshes, bays and coastal waters. Fly fishing puts the emphasis on a small-boat, shallow-water outing. Choose the style first, then compare the trip details that matter to your group.
Know what the charter covers
Every charter includes bait, fuel, ice, fishing gear and tackle and fish cleaning. Food and water are items to plan separately unless you have arranged a meal package; licensing, sun protection and cooler space also belong on your preparation list.
Stay the night at the lodge
Lodging and optional meals turn a fishing day into a longer visit. A night at the lodge before an early departure, or after you come in, saves a long drive. On an overnight trip, ask the crew where a lodge night fits. Confirm rooms and meals when you book, since not every package includes them.
Review the full picture
Rates depend on the trip and the boat. Before reserving, review the terms that apply to both fishing and lodging, and confirm the boat, captain and total with the crew.
- The chosen trip, date, boat and captain.
- The passenger allowance, departure time and expected return.
- The package inclusions and any requested meals or lodging.
- The total, payment arrangements and applicable cancellation terms.

Fuel policy
Fuel is included in your charter. Because fuel markets are uncertain, a surcharge applies only when the national price of regular unleaded rises above $4.00 per gallon. See our Policies & Waivers page for how it works.
