Charter Pricing Options for Wilmington Anglers

Flexible Trip Lengths with Transparent Group Rates

If you need clear pricing and flexible scheduling for a fishing charter in Wilmington, Spring Tide Guide Service offers half-day, three-quarter-day, and full-day trips with straightforward group rates. Half-day sessions run four hours and cost $550 for up to three guests, with an additional $50 per person beyond that. Three-quarter-day trips extend to six hours at $650 for the same base group size, and full-day eight-hour outings are $800 per group with no per-person upcharge. This structure keeps costs predictable and allows you to choose the trip length that fits your schedule and fishing goals.

Morning and afternoon departures are available for both half-day and three-quarter-day options, so you can book around tides, weather, or personal preference. Longer trips provide more time to move between spots, adjust tactics, and pursue multiple species as conditions shift throughout the day. Free cancellation is available up to seven days prior to your trip, giving you flexibility if plans change. Cancellations or modifications made within seven days, or no-shows, forfeit the full payment.

What's Included and How Pickup Works

Transfer to and from the departure site may be available depending on your location and distance from the dock. This is confirmed during the reservation process and included in the trip price when applicable. All necessary tackle, bait, and terminal gear are provided, so you don't need to bring your own equipment unless you prefer to. The captain handles rigging, adjustments, and positioning throughout the trip, allowing you to focus on fishing rather than logistics.

Trips are customized daily based on what's biting, water conditions, and seasonal patterns. Whether you're targeting inshore species over grass flats or working nearshore structure for bigger game, the trip length you choose determines how much ground you can cover and how many different techniques you'll have time to try. Unlike generic charters that stick to a single area, these trips adapt to maximize action and provide variety.

Choosing the Right Trip Duration

Selecting a trip length depends on your goals, experience level, and how much time you want to spend exploring different fishing zones. Here's what each option offers:

  • Half-day trips work well for beginners or those with limited availability
  • Three-quarter-day sessions allow time to move between productive areas without rushing
  • Full-day charters provide the most flexibility to adapt as fish behavior changes
  • Wilmington's proximity to both inshore and nearshore zones makes longer trips especially productive
  • All options include the same level of instruction and hands-on guidance

Longer trips also increase your chances of encountering multiple species, especially during transitional seasons when fish are on the move. If you're fishing with a larger group or want to mix techniques—like starting inshore and finishing nearshore—a full day gives you room to experiment.
