Captain Matt
Spend the day with Captain Matt on a 2023 30' Sea Hunt!
I offer a few different trips; we can go offshore to hunt down some dinner and look for the big ones that put up a good fight! I have a 6 hour and a 9-hour offshore trip. We travel 20-70 miles offshore. This trip is not for young kids.
I also offer a 3-hour light tackle kids fishing trip, we stay close to land.
As a father of two young kids, I believe it's important to get the next generation on the water. Sometimes kids don't always have the patience for fishing. With Captain Matt you can customize the trip to whatever the day brings. If fishing is slow and you want to do some cruising/sightseeing, we can change it up. It's all about getting on the water and having a good time. On these trips, you can expect to use light tackle. This trip is a great introduction for beginners or people not familiar with fishing. We catch a lot of smaller fish on this trip, we do not target large fish.
Trips with Captain Matt are fun for all ages, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Children 12 and under are required to wear a life jacket, The Captain has a good assortment, please reach out before the trip to coordinate life jackets for the kids. Snacks are also a good idea so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly! There will be plenty of ice, and bottled water onboard.
Your fishing machine for the day is a 30' Sea Hunt center console with space for 4
passengers. There's a toilet on board for your convenience.
Captain Matt will provide all necessary fishing tackle for you and live shrimp will be onboard. The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is show up ready for a good time! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.
If you'd like to bring other drinks, there is plenty of cooler space. Alcohol is allowed but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

This probably seems like a planted review but it’s not. We just got back from the best fishing experience of my life. Captain Matt was the best guide you could hope for. He handled my 8 yo and 4 yo boys like only a father could, spoke to my 75 yo father like an expert fisherman and made it look effortless while taking fish off of 4 lines, baiting them with live shrimp, tell my 8 yo about each of the fish we caught, letting him touch the ones he was safe to. I honestly cannot recommend Matthew and his boat more. If you’re looking for a fun fishing trip with kids or without, expert or total beginner you simply will not find a better boat and captain. Do yourself a favor and book him asap if he has a spot because I’m sure he’s going to be all book up soon! - Jordan Walker, Toronto, Canada
Matt was the perfect choice for a trip with my eleven and a half year old grandson. He’d never caught a fish in his life and had a Sheepshead in the boat with minutes of stopping. Matt was incredibly kind and patient with him—and had also brought all the GS’s favorite chips! It’s a beautiful boat captained by a real champion of a person. He knows the fish and where to find him. We came home with seven Lane Snappers and a Sheepshead that made an amazing lunch and dinner. A peak experience!
Capt Matt was great. Made us all feel very comfortable and there to have fun and catch fish. We had three generations on the boat and we all had a blast, we all caught keepers too!! Thank you Matt. We’ll definitely do it again & with Capt Matt. Doug
Captain Matt was a gracious host and Captain. He explained the days progress and the importance of having a good time. Captain Matt treated the kids very well and knew how to keep them happy and occupied. He constantly was accommodating with bait refills, and to keep everyone fishing. Mom, Dad and children (six and nine) said they had an amazing time. Many different species of fish caught. The new boat was very nice.
Captain Matt was amazing and knew all the spots to catch fish. Boat was beautiful - perfect day all the way around. We will definitely do this again the next time we are in Naples.
