This submission is not adequately supported by reliable sources. Reliable sources are required so that information can be verified. If you need help with referencing, please see Referencing for beginners and Citing sources.

This submission reads more like an essay than an encyclopedia article. Submissions should summarise information in secondary, reliable sources and not contain opinions or original research. Please write about the topic from a neutral point of view in an encyclopedic manner.

Comment: more like a dictionary definition than an encyclopedic article. Also not all true and unsourced claims. Not all are run by "professional fishermen". The second sentence sounds like a very long way to point out the obvious: they happen all over the world on all forms of waterway, also unsourced. The last sentence and sources are USA specific KylieTastic (talk) 14:52, 20 January 2024 (UTC)

A Fishing Charter, also known as a fishing excursion or fishing trip, refers to a service offered by professional fishermen who provide the boat, licensing, and equipment for individuals or groups the experience of Fishing.^[1]

Fishing Charters are available all around the world in a variety of settings. Fishing Charters take place in coastal regions, on rivers, lakes, and the ocean. Fishing Charters can also take place on a lake or mountain stream.

On a fishing charter, a fishing vessel^[2] is run by a Charter Boat Captain. "A Charter Boat Captain commands a small vessel as a master, captain, or skipper and may contain a sailing endorsement for sailing vessels and/or a commercial towing endorsement for vessels engaged in assistance towing."^[3]
