Fishing Charters in Las Vegas

2 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.

How much does a fishing charter cost? +
A half-day inshore charter typically runs about $400-600 for the boat, and a full-day offshore or deep-sea trip commonly lands between $1,000 and $2,000. Most captains price per boat, so the cost splits across your group. Rates vary by port, season and target species - confirm current pricing and availability with the operator.
Is fishing gear included on a charter? +
Most charters include rods, reels, bait and terminal tackle, and the captain usually carries the required vessel licenses. Coolers, food and drinks are commonly bring-your-own. Ask each operator exactly what is provided and what you should bring, along with their policy on keeping or releasing your catch.
How do I choose a fishing charter? +
Compare Google ratings and review counts across a few operators, check which species and waters they target and the trip length that fits you, and ask what the price includes. Reviews mentioning the captain by name are a good signal. Once you have a shortlist, confirm trip details, pricing and availability directly with the operator.
How much does a fishing guide cost in Las Vegas? +
A guided trip on Lake Mead or Lake Mohave typically runs $350-$600. A half-day trip sits at the lower end and a full day higher, with the rate covering the boat for one or two anglers rather than charged per person. Bait and tackle are often included. Confirm the total price and what is provided with the guide when booking.
What fish can you catch near Las Vegas? +
Lake Mead and Lake Mohave hold striped bass, largemouth bass and catfish, with stripers the main draw - from schooling fish to trophy-class specimens. The cold Colorado River below Hoover Dam also holds trout for a different style of trip.
When is striped bass fishing best near Las Vegas? +
Stripers can be caught year-round, but spring and fall often produce the most exciting surface action as schools chase shad and boil on top. Summer fishing is strong early and late in the day, and winter fish hold deeper where electronics help locate them.
Do I need a license to fish Lake Mead or Lake Mohave? +
Yes. Because these waters straddle the Nevada-Arizona border, license requirements depend on where you fish, and a guide will advise which state license or reciprocal endorsement you need. Guides typically supply the boat, bait and tackle for the trip.
