Offshore fishing trips are $2,500 in Venice, LA and in Port Fourchon, LA with Joe Von Thron. Inshore fishing trips in Port Fourchon are $1,000. Prices include the boat, ice, tackle, and fish cleaning for up to 6 guests.

Fuel is not included in the trip price. Fuel costs will be determined at the dock after your trip, and will be billed separately at the end of your trip. You will only pay for the amount of fuel used during your trip. Fuel fees are paid to the marina, and a typical trip utilizes 150-200 gallons of fuel.

Deckhands primarily work for tips and greatly appreciate your generosity. We recommend bringing cash to show your appreciation for their hard work and dedication to making your experience enjoyable and memorable.
