Why this one is here

The record was taken on Lake Kissimmee, which is the water the boats on this page fish — not Kissimmee itself. A record is what came over the rail once; it is not what to expect on a trip.

Questions about fishing charters and guides in Kissimmee

What happens if it is too windy to go offshore?

Often the trip just moves inshore rather than being called off — 7 of the 50 boats here run both, so a blown-out morning can become a back-country or bay trip. Ask what the captain does with weather, and what the cancellation terms are.

Back-country or offshore — which trip should I book in Kissimmee?

They are different days on different water. 5 charters here list offshore only, 5 list inshore only, and 7 list both. Offshore means a longer run and bigger fish; inshore means calmer water, shorter runs and sight-fishing. The month-by-month table above shows which fish the fleet says are around when you are coming.

How long is a trip out of Kissimmee?

Two and four hours are the lengths Kissimmee captains list most often. The clock starts at the dock rather than at the fishing grounds, so the run out and back comes out of your time on the fish. As Orlando Florida Bass Fishing puts it: “The 4-Hour trip is the suggested starting trip length when looking to catch Florida bass.”

Do I need to bring rods and tackle to Kissimmee?

No. Rods, reels, bait and tackle come with the boat on every Kissimmee charter that says so on its own site — fly anglers are the exception, and usually bring their own. As Orlando Florida Bass Fishing puts it: “The boat was in great condition, and all the gear provided was high quality.”

Are there family-friendly fishing charters in Kissimmee?

21 charters in Kissimmee mention kids or families on their websites. Ask the captain about children's life jackets, trip length and whether there's a restroom on board.

How do I book a charter or guide in Kissimmee?

Call the captain or use their website. CharterFishingBoat doesn't take bookings or payments, and there's no fee to use the directory.

What should I ask the captain?

Ask what the trip includes, how long it lasts, how many people can come, what you're likely to catch that time of year, and the cancellation policy if the weather turns.

Where do state waters end off Kissimmee?

Florida state waters on the Atlantic run from shore to 3 miles out; beyond that is federal water. Federal seasons and limits apply beyond it, and for some fish they also apply to federally permitted charter boats inside state waters.

What airports are closest to Kissimmee?

The closest airports with airline service are Orlando International (MCO), 11 miles away and Orlando Sanford International (SFB), 35 miles away. Local public airports nearby: Kissimmee Gateway (ISM), 1 mile away, Orlando Executive (ORL), 18 miles away and Winter Haven Regional (GIF), 26 miles away.
