If you are ready to start making some incredible memories, then you are ready to book a trip with Sound-N-Sea Charters today. Captain Matt Paylor has been fishing professionally since 2017, and can’t wait to take you out and show you the hottest fishing spots.

Hop on board his beautiful 24' bay boat, which can safely and comfortably carry groups of up to 4 passengers.  You’ll find yourself at the fishing grounds before you know it!

This boat’s most unique feature is a tower which allows for better visibility and sight fishing opportunities. The boat has top-of-the-line navigational features and safety equipment, so you can fish with peace of mind. The fishfinder, paired with the captain’s extensive knowledge of the area, will give you that extra boost when out on the water.

The species you’ll be targeting depend on the season and which trip you choose. These can include Drum, Trout, Cobia, Spanish Mackerel, King Mackerel, Black Seabass, Flounder, Sharks, and much more. Whatever your skill level, there is a fish out here with your name on it!

Included in the price are top quality rods and reel from Penn, Shimano, and Daiwa. This gear won’t let you down when you’re reeling in your trophy catch or personal best. Even children as young as 6 will enjoy trying a variety of techniques to reel in this catch. After the trip, the captain can fillet your haul – this just leaves you the hard decision of how you are going to cook it once home.

The captain will provide you with live bait (when appropriate), prepared before the trip. This gives you more time spent fishing. Bottled water is also provided on every trip. You are encouraged to bring along your own food and drink. Also supplied is your fishing license for the day. Please wear appropriate clothing for the weather and bring along plenty of sunscreen.

Book now with Sound-N-Sea for the trip of a lifetime you’ll never forget!

Caught Fish and the boys had fun
Half Day Fishing Trip (AM) on July 8, 20252 adults1 child
Captain Matt did a great job of taking care of us. The summer time winds were in full effect so we stayed inshore. We caught bluefish, flounder and a shark. Matt even filleted up the bluefish we kept and gave me some cooking ideas, which resulted in some great tasting fresh fish. Matt was such a professional, we booked a follow up "Eco Tour" with him for the entire family later in the week. Horses were seen, sandbars were played on, and sand dollars were found.
