Half Day Trip (AM) on May 5, 20262 adults

We had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water thanks to Matty. His experience as a captain really shows—he knows exactly where to go and how to make the most of the conditions, which made for an incredibly successful and enjoyable trip. What really stood out, though, was how easygoing and approachable he is. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt relaxed and well taken care of. No stress, no pressure—just a great atmosphere and plenty of laughs. The equipment was seriously impressive too—top of the range gear that made the whole experience feel premium and professional. You can tell Matty takes pride in what he does. He genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day, always checking in, adjusting things to suit us, and making sure everyone was having a great time. Couldn’t recommend this charter highly enough—if you’re thinking about booking, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Half Day Trip (AM) on December 16, 20253 adults

He is a true master of fishing, widely recognized for his exceptional expertise and deep understanding of the sea. With countless hours spent on the water, he possesses an outstanding ability to read ocean conditions — from currents and tides to wind patterns and fish behavior — with remarkable precision. His knowledge spans every aspect of marine fishing, including offshore and deep-sea techniques, equipment selection, bait strategies, and safety at sea. Every trip is not merely a fishing excursion, but a professionally guided experience that consistently delivers real results. What truly sets him apart is his profound respect for the marine ecosystem. He practices and promotes sustainable fishing, demonstrating a responsible approach to the ocean while generously sharing his knowledge with others. This makes him not only a top-tier angler, but also a highly respected marine expert. For anyone seeking excellence, reliability, and true professionalism in the world of fishing and the sea, he stands as the definitive choice.

Half Day Shared Charter (PM) on July 24, 20262 adults

Great half day out with Matt. He explained that it wasnt the time of the year that fish were biting. Despite that he took us down the river and we caught a bunch of Bream, saw some crocodiles and had a great chat. Highly recommend heading out with him, looking foraard to coming back when the fish are on the chew!
