If you would like to sail the fishing boat on your own, many destinations require a boating license. However, please be aware that legislation can vary between regions.

What are the best destinations for a fishing boat hire?

What should I consider when hiring a fishing boat?

First and foremost, we always recommend checking with the boat owner that the fishing boat comes with life jackets and plenty of drinking water for safety reasons. If the weather is expected to be hot, be sure to also pack any necessary sun protection such as sunscreen, hats, and towels. Finally, you should ask the boat owner if fishing equipment is provided or not. They will then let you know if this comes at an additional cost or is included in the price.

What is included in my fishing boat hire and what additional expenses can I expect?

In general, there is a base rate for every fishing boat hire that includes the charter period and taxes. However, for other rates, every boat owner will offer different services and prices to their liking. For example, a boat owner could include additional prices for fishing equipment, fuel, cleaning, and cooking services. Our main recommendation is to contact the boat owner before the start of your fishing boat hire to avoid any surprise costs.
