We originally booked 2 hours and quickly realized it wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy everything. The experience flew by, and there was still so much we wanted to do without feeling rushed. Upgrading to 4 hours would make a huge difference — it would allow us to relax longer, take our time, and really get the full value of what was offered. If you’re on the fence, I’d strongly recommend going with 4 hours from the start. It’s absolutely worth it.
Glad you guys had a great time out there! That 2-hour trip is a fun way to get a quick taste, but it definitely goes by fast—especially when the bite is on. Next time we’ll get you set up on a 4-hour so we can really settle in, hit a few more spots, and keep the action going longer. Looking forward to having you back out!
Matt was very courteous, helpful, and did everything in his power to make my wife and I comfortable. He called ahead of the trip to introduce himself and answer any and all questions we might have before the trip. On the day of the trip he put us on fish right away, and the bite never faded! We brought home plenty of fish to enjoy. I would recommend Captain Matt without hesitation!!
Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the fresh fish. It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you. I hope we can get you out next time you are here.
We had a great time fishing with captain Matt. I highly recommend the the 7am departure and 3 hr slot in the summer heat. We were catching fish the entire time of all varitey and size.
Thank you for the review of your trip. We had a short time to get some fish and you nailed it. The Cobia that showed up did not cooperate but the grouper kept us busy for sure. I hope to get you out again next time you are in town. It was a pleasure fishing with you.
My wife, her sister and brother-in-law had an awesome time. Captain Matt was very personable... He took us to a spot the even the wife caught fish!!! Cpt Mike was very patient with us and insured we had a great day on the water... If your looking for a family oriented fishing trip, Cpt Matt is a great choice!!!
So glad you had a good time on your trip. it was a pleasure meeting you guys. I am glad you were able to bring some fish home with you for dinner. Hope to see you again next time.
we had a great time. the captain was super with my son. we had no knowledge and he taught us everything we needed for the day. safety was clearly paramount on this captains list which i appreciated. if was just me and my son and I felt absolutely safe on his boat. I absolutely recommend this boat and captain.
You guys made it look easy today. The fish were not making it easy for sure and still you were able to land a few nice fish. The Red Grouper almost made the dinner table! It was a pleasure meeting you today.
