Vilano Kayak FishingBook a trip

Trips & pricing

Four trip lengths, priced per person, gear included.

One or two anglers per trip, always. Nothing is charged up front — you pay on the day.

Prices are per person, so a 4-hour trip for two anglers is $200 each — $400 total. There is no group discount, because a second angler is genuinely more work, not less.

How a trip runs

What actually happens, start to finish

  1. 01

    Before you drive out

    I watch the forecast and the tide for your date and message you the night before with a launch time and a meeting spot. If the water is not going to be safe or fishable, you hear it then — not in the car park.

  2. 02

    At the launch

    Gear check, life jacket fitted properly, and a straight talk through how the kayak behaves, how to get in and out of it, and what to do if you go over. Ten minutes, and it makes the whole day easier.

  3. 03

    On the water

    We fish. I stay close enough to correct a cast and far enough not to crowd your water. You will hear why we are on this spot, why now, and what the tide is about to do to it.

  4. 04

    When it is not working

    We move, or we change tactics, and I tell you which and why. Watching someone reason through a bad hour is worth more than a lucky first cast.

  5. 05

    At the end

    Photos of anything worth photographing, gear loaded, and payment. Cash, Zelle, Venmo, or Cash App — whichever is easiest.

Species

What is realistic depends on the week, not the brochure

Inshore here holds redfish, speckled trout, flounder, and black drum. Which of them is worth targeting on your date comes down to season, water temperature, wind, and what the tide is doing — and it changes.

Ask me when you request a date and I will tell you honestly what is feeding and what is a long shot. I would rather set a realistic expectation than sell you a species and spend four hours failing to find it.

Everything is catch-and-release unless you have the licence and the appetite to keep a legal fish, in which case that is your call and your paperwork.

  • Redfish
  • Flounder
  • Speckled trout
  • Black drum

Paying

On the day. Nothing up front.

There is no deposit, no card on file, and no online checkout. You send a request, I confirm a date, and you pay when we meet.

  • Cash

    Paid at the launch, before we get on the water.

  • Zelle

    Sent the morning of the trip or the night before.

  • Venmo

    Sent the morning of the trip or the night before.

  • Cash App

    Sent the morning of the trip or the night before.

Because nothing is collected in advance, cancelling costs you nothing but the date — though the notice I ask for still matters, since that date was held for you and turned down for someone else.

Pick a length and send me a date.
