Hi David, welcome to planDisney!
As an outdoor lover, I find the opportunity to do some fishing at Walt Disney World to be a hidden gem. My family of four went on a 2-hour guided fishing excursion on a pontoon that left from Disney's
Fort Wilderness Resort dock, and it was even better than we expected! What a beautiful morning... doing a little catch-and-release fishing on a sunny day, with complementary drinks, a friendly guide, and gorgeous, surreal views of the various Disney Resorts along the shoreline. Everyone caught some bass fish, and we all had a wonderful time!
I'm guessing it's these
guided fishing excursions that you are inquiring about? There are a few options, so I found a few current prices for you. Prices vary by number of guests, length of the excursion (2-hour or 4-hour), and whether you select a NITRO boat or pontoon boat water craft. These are subject to change, but this sampling should give you an idea of what to expect.
- 2-hour Bass Nitro boat tour for 2 guests, departing from Ft. Wilderness - $259.00.
- 4-hour Bass Nitro boat tour for 2 guests, departing from Yacht Club - $455.00.
- 2-hour Guided Bass Fishing on Pontoon Boat, up to 5 guests, departing from Caribbean Beach - $299.00 (price per boat)
- 4-hour Guided Bass Fishing on Pontoon Boat, up to 5 guests, departing from Caribbean Beach - $499.00 (price per boat)
If you are a DVC member, or Annual Pass Holder, there is a 15% discount available on some of these fishing excursions. To reserve a guided fishing excursion, you'll want to call Disney Recreation Reservations at 0800 028 0778 (UK) up to 60 days in advance.
Did you know you can also rent fishing gear, and fish from the dock at designated locations? Dockside fishing and gear rental are available at the Fishin' Hole at Ol' Man Island at Disney's Port Orleans Resort – Riverside and the Bike Barn at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground. There are no reservations required, and you can rent for 30 minutes or a full day. Prices range from around $8.00 - $16.00 (plus tax, subject to change).
David, I hope this helps and that you have a wonderful day of magical fishing at Disney World! Please
visit me anytime at planDisney with additional questions.
Adventure is out there!
