Fishing Charters
We have licensed guides that offer up to 4 people in your party per boat a full or half day of fishing in the Apalachicola Bay and River. This no hassle fishing experience allows you to relax and let someone else do the work for you. Our guides use 22-foot, center console, open deck style boats and fish primarily for salt-water fish in the Apalachicola Bay but venture into the river and to the nearby barrier islands season dependent.
The cost for a full day of approximately 8 hours of guided fishing is $600 per boat per day plus gas, bait, and rod & reel rental if needed. Gas and bait typically cost $60.00 per boat. Rod & reel rental is $10 per person per day full day and $5 per person each half day. Guides will provide all the licenses, life jackets, and tackle you need. A half day trip, approximately 5 hours, is $400 per boat per day plus gas and bait. All you need to do is pick your favorite drinks and snacks from our store, and sack lunch prepared by our restaurant that consists of sandwich, chips, and snack upon your request the night before and you are ready to go.
