Every open date is a trip waiting to happen.

iOutdoors books guided fishing trips, hunting trips including iguana hunts, and other outdoor adventures with local captains and guides from North to South Florida, and we're growing beyond Florida. We've been matching customers with local guides since 1994, and the company is owned and run by the captains who fish with us.

Four steps: apply on this page (about 15 minutes), upload your USCG license and insurance in the Guide Portal, set up your calendar and choose how you get paid, then your listing goes live. Most captains are verified within two business days.

There's no sign-up or monthly cost. iOutdoors keeps a percentage of each trip it books for you, and the rate is set when you join.

Full Partnership: we run bookings, payments, marketing and support with you, and you get first pick of trip requests. Shared Partnership: you keep your own booking and payment setup, connect your Google Calendar, and we send trips to fill your open dates. On-Call Guide: we call or text you when we have a trip, and you take the ones that work for you. Compare the tiers.

Yes. Start with the tier that fits your season and talk to our team when you're ready to change.

Yes. Select every category that applies during your application; each has its own credential requirements where relevant.

Every iOutdoors captain needs a current USCG license (OUPV six-pack or Master), even in areas where one isn't required. It protects our customers and the captains on our team. If your license expires, you won't receive bookings until it's renewed.

An active marine liability policy protects your customers, your boat and your business. We keep your certificate on file, and captains without current insurance don't receive trips.

Your current USCG license, your USCG documentation number or state registration, your liability insurance certificate, and photos: one profile photo plus up to three boat and three catch photos (JPG or PNG, up to 15 MB each). See the full list.

Typically two business days once your license and insurance are submitted. You'll get an email the moment your status changes.

Full Partners manage trips in the CaptainBook app, and a trip booked through iOutdoors blocks that time slot everywhere else. Shared Partners connect their Google Calendar, and we send trips to fill open dates. On-Call guides get a call or text to check availability.

No. iOutdoors isn't a listing site, and there's no pay-to-play placement or price-cutting between captains. Customers book a destination and a trip, and Full Partners get first pick of trip requests by seniority.

Customers pay in full online or leave a deposit with the balance collected on the day. After you're verified, pick ACH direct deposit (recommended), Zelle or PayPal in your Guide Portal. Payouts run weekly. For ACH, our team contacts you to finish setup. We never ask for bank details online. Shared Partners collect their own payments.

No. We never ask for your bank account or routing number online. If you choose ACH direct deposit, our team contacts you to set it up.

Your listing is never penalized for a weather cancellation, even last minute. Customers receive a full refund and we don't retain any portion of the payment.

Your trips appear on our location and species pages, and Full Partners also get their own guide website. We advertise on Google, Bing, Facebook and Instagram and write SEO content for your area. There's no ad spend on your end.

Reviews from your real trips are tied to your listing from day one, so you build a public track record that customers see when they book.
