Too many fish, not enough time!
2 Hour Private Fishing Charter on May 1, 2026 • 2 adults
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!

Capt. Matt Is Terrific!
4 Hr.catch-focused nearshore on January 24, 2026 • 2 adults
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!!

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.
