Fishing Charters in Devils Lake

15 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Fishing charters put you on the water with a licensed captain, a rigged boat and local knowledge of where the fish are running. The market splits by trip length and water: an inshore or half-day trip commonly runs about $400-600 for the boat, while an offshore or full-day deep-sea trip lands closer to $1,000-2,000. Most captains price by the boat rather than per person, so a group of four splits the cost, and many include rods, reels, bait and tackle - always ask what is covered and what you bring. Rates vary by port, season and target species, so compare a couple of operators and confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator before you book.

Below are 15 fishing charters listings in Devils Lake, ND, ranked by Google review volume so you can start with the most established options and contact them directly. The most-reviewed is Bry's Guide Service (4.7★, 82 Google reviews).
