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.
