Fishing Trip Photography
Salty Saba Ride-Alongs
Your day on the water, photographed. I’m Tom Bledsoe, a wildlife photographer based in Crystal River, Florida. I join you aboard your boat to photograph the fishing, the wildlife, and the moments in between. You arrange the boat and fishing trip. I come along with the camera.
Introductory rates
Up to 6 hours dock-to-dock: $450.
Over 6 hours and up to 12 hours dock-to-dock: $800.

What’s included
Your ride-along includes selected edited photographs for personal use, delivered through a private online gallery within 14 days. There is no fixed image count. Prints are available separately.
RAW files and unfinished footage are not included.
Optional highlight video: $150 introductory add-on for a 2–5-minute edited highlight, with one agreed aspect ratio and one minor revision. Individual clips and unfinished footage are not included. Fishing activity and conditions determine available content; particular catches or action cannot be guaranteed. If there is insufficient usable footage, the video fee is waived or refunded unless we separately agree on a shorter video and fee.
Want a keepsake of the day? Choose your favorite photos and create your own hardcover or layflat photo book through your gallery, with your choice of layout. Books are purchased separately.
Booking and payment
A 25% deposit reserves your confirmed date. The remaining balance is due upon returning to the dock on the day of your trip.
Cancellations and weather
Cancel at least 48 hours before your trip for a full refund. Later cancellations forfeit the deposit. If I cancel, or unsafe weather prevents departure, you may choose a full refund or rescheduling. Treatment of a trip shortened by weather is agreed in your individual booking.
