A fishing charter is a service that provides individuals or groups with the opportunity to go fishing on a boat, usually led by a professional fishing guide. These charters can vary in duration, from a few hours to several days, and often include equipment, bait, and sometimes meals. Charters are popular in coastal areas and lakes, where anglers can target specific fish species like tuna, salmon, or trout. They cater to all skill levels, making it a great way for beginners to learn and for experienced fishermen to access prime fishing spots.
