Clear Rates for Half-Day Through Full-Day Trips
Fishing Charter Pricing and Cancellation Terms in Holly Ridge
Spring Tide Guide Service charges $550 for half-day trips lasting four hours, with morning and afternoon departure times available. Three-quarter-day trips lasting six hours are priced at $650, and full-day charters lasting eight hours are $800. All pricing is per group and includes up to three guests. Additional anglers can be added for $50 per person on half-day and three-quarter-day trips, depending on available space. Full-day trips accommodate larger groups but should be confirmed in advance to ensure the boat can handle the number of anglers safely.
All trips include rods, reels, tackle, live bait, fishing licenses, safety equipment, and bottled water. The boat is equipped with GPS, a fishfinder, wireless trolling motor, live bait well, and an ice box for keeping your catch. Transfer to and from the departure site may be included depending on your location and distance from the dock in Holly Ridge. Free cancellation is available up to seven days before your scheduled trip, with no penalty. If you cancel or modify your booking within seven days of departure, or fail to show up, you forfeit the full payment.
If you want to confirm pricing, add extra guests, or ask about transportation from your rental property to the dock, contact Spring Tide Guide Service before booking your charter in Holly Ridge.
The base rate for each trip length covers the boat, captain, all fishing gear, bait, licenses, and safety equipment for up to three people. If your group includes more than three anglers, you will pay an additional $50 per person for half-day and three-quarter-day charters. Full-day trips are priced per group and do not follow the per-person add-on structure, so larger parties should confirm availability and capacity when booking. Payment is required at the time of reservation to secure your departure time in Holly Ridge.
After your trip, you leave with any fish you decide to keep, already stored in the onboard ice box. The captain provides all instruction, rigging, and fish handling during the charter. If weather conditions make fishing unsafe, the trip will be rescheduled at no additional cost. Transfers to and from the dock may be included if you are staying nearby, but availability depends on distance and the captain's schedule that day.
Cancellations made more than seven days in advance are fully refunded. If you cancel or modify your trip within seven days of the scheduled departure, or do not show up at the agreed-upon time, the full payment is forfeited. This policy accounts for lost income from holding your time slot and turning away other bookings.
