    Two shark night

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (PM) on June 18, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

    My son and I went shark fishing with Matt, and he was fantastic. He has extensive knowledge of the local sharks and other fish species in the area. His equipment was well-maintained and performed flawlessly throughout the trip. Matt was especially great with my 10-year-old son, answering all of his questions and keeping him involved the entire evening. We started by catching bait, which was a fun way to pass the time before dark. Even when a storm rolled in, it didn’t slow us down. We were fortunate enough to catch and tag two blacktip sharks, which was an incredible experience. My son hasn’t stopped talking about it since! It was a wonderful trip with an outstanding guide. I highly recommend Matt and NSB Shark Fishing to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience.

    Amazing time Shark Fishing

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (PM) on August 16, 2026 • 2 adults

    We had an amazing time shark fishing. Matthew and Denny were great. They answered all our questions. They prioritize our safety, and the well being of the shark. They made sure we were comfortable. In short, just show up and they take care of the rest. I would highly recommend this company and crew to my family and friends.

    Amazing time with amazing guides

    4 Hr - Shark Hunt (ONE PERSON ONLY) on April 22, 2026 • 1 adult

    Josh and Matt were amazing guys. My assigned guide was Josh but Matt another guide within the company was on the beach fishing himself since it’s been a month since the weather and water has been very rough. We fished until 11 at night had a few bites but still nothing. It was about 10 minutes until 11 and Matt yelled over “Shark ON!”. Amazing experience with some great guys. Would I do it again 100%. After the first shark it’s like an adrenaline addiction.

    Grand Finale....at it's grandest!!

    5 Hour Trip (PM) One Person Only on March 30, 2023 • 2 adults

    Sgt. Dean tried it all to get a shark on the end of the line...but after five hours, we had surrendered to the saying "it's called fishing, not catching". We were almost in the car and Dean was picking up when he started screaming for us to come back....and that's when the battle started. By the time we got back down, it had almost pulled Dean into the water twice and almost had the line spooled out. Dean handed the rod over, and the next 45 minutes were nothing but glory for my 17 year old....and when it was all said and done, a 6' 3" blacktip was on the sand. This was such a great experience for my son....brushing up on patience and good karma. Dean was excellent to be with, and they really go the extra mile to leave their clients happy.....even when we initially threw in the towel. We will definitely be calling on NSB Shark Hunters the next time we're back in New Smyrna!!!!!!

    Always a great time!

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (PM) on April 8, 2023 • 2 adults

    You couldn't ask for a better group of people to hang out with and teach you all they know about fishing for sharks. Dustin and Shell are amazing. Unfortunately this trip the sharks weren't biting (the surf was crazy) but it didn't stop them from trying all night. It was a beautiful night and a lot of laughs! This was not our first time with them (we tagged and released 2, the first time we fished with them) and we will definitely fish with them again. Highly recommend it! Thanks again guys! We will see you soon!

    An absolutely amazing experience! 15/10 would recommend!

    5 Hour Shark Hunt Day Trip on March 14, 2022 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My husband and I booked the morning beach fishing experience with Dustin and Shel. We brought along our 3 kids (7, 4 and 9months). The experience was everything we hoped for and more! The kids got to play on the beach while we sat with the fishing poles, which was awesome. Dustin was the epitome of professionalism throughout our entire experience. He was quite knowledgeable about the sharks in the area, and between bites, we had some very fun conversations. He was so kind when I accidentally let a shark off the line and graciously coached me through the next catch. We will most certainly be booking again the next time we are in the area!

    6 Star Rating!

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (PM) on January 5, 2022 • 2 adults

    Hands down one of the best guided experiences I have ever had! Captain Dustin is extremely knowledgeable and sharing in information about the whole experience. Great conversations, experience sharing and most of all Great Hunting Sharks! Would recommend to anyone wanting to have a experience that’s just not fun but also very informative about how and why he is doing what he is doing!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ , 6 stars for a great experience and knowledge that I learned to use in other areas of saltwater fishing. If anywhere near the Daytona area be sure to hit Dustin up and catch more then just a monster fish but some laughs and good company as well! 🦈

    Night shark hunting

    4 Hour Trip – Shark Hunt (PM) on January 2, 2022 • 2 adults

    Captain Dustin really pulled through for this mom. I had a charter cancel on me and a very upset son. Captain Dustin and he crew, squeezed me in and gave us a night we will never forget. Charters may be a thing of the past for me. Beach shore shark hunting is an amazing experience. We will be back. Thank you all again!
