Open sea fishing can be expensive if you’re not used to spending $400 to $2,500 a day or more to charter a boat. Depending upon where your day begins, it could be much more than that. But it doesn’t have to cost you a week or two’s salary to enjoy open sea fishing.

If chartering a boat is the only way you’ll be able to enjoy open sea fishing, you may want to consider chartering a party boat or head boat. This type of boat can carry from one to 93 people who all share the cost of renting the boat. The more people you have in your party the cheaper the price per person will be.

Choose a shorter open sea fishing trip. Boats can be chartered for two or more hours. Of course, the longer the trip, the more it will cost. You’ll also be charged more if you choose to charter a boat for an evening cruise rather than during the daytime.

Evening family package trips are another option. The boat doesn’t go as far out into the open sea, but you may still be able to catch some of the same fish you’d catch in deeper water. This type of fishing trip may be your best choice if you’ve never been open sea fishing or if you have younger children.

Finally, to avoid some of expenses of open sea fishing, you might want to consider renting a boat and navigating the waters on your own. You can expect to pay $200 or more a day to rent a boat, but if you rent it for a week or rent a smaller boat, you may be able to save quite a bit of money.
