We had an excursion booked for August 18, 2026. Decided on 7am thinking we would beat the heat of the day. That really did not work😊! We caught some Spanish Mackerel soon after we left...fun! Then came the heat...'feels like' temp of 106 degrees and no wind...quite unbearable! Captain Matt however made this trip very enjoyable regardless of ability to catch a lot of fish. He even took us out a little farther to try for a shark or two...swear it was even to hot for the fish! We were able to see a number of dolphins although Captain Matt mentioned he tries to steer clear of them. They are 'fishing' also! I would rate Captain Matt as a very fun, kind and competent Captain and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks Captain for this experience!
Cindy, thanks for your kind words and recommendation! it certainly has been extra hot lately and even the early trips are subject to the heat if there isn't a breeze. thanks again and I do hope you all enjoyed your fish dinner. 😊 regards, Capt Matt
After a week of poor weather and surf fishing, we braved the elements with Captain Matt. He had extra rain gear, which was a HUUUUGEEE help. We had a successful day, with 8 Blues reeled in...three more escaped to be caught another day! This made my 10yo son's day. He can't wait to go out on a boat trip again. Captain Matt provided good tunes to keep our soggy spirits up between bites, and was so friendly throughout the trip. Thank you Captain Matt!
Timothy, thank you for a great review and for being adventurous! huge rain and lightning didn't stop you guys one bit! kudos for sticking it out. have a blessed fish dinner and a safe return back home and till next time, Capt Matt
Captain Matt is a great captain. He’s accessible and stayed in touch throughout the booking up to the trip. He’ll help you out anyway he can. He pays attention to what you want and tries his best to get it for you. I knew it was going to be rough, but was in a time crunch. He gave me an out, but I went anyway. He handled the boat exceptionally well and got us some fish. In short, he knows what the hell he’s doing and I trust him. Great captain.
Andrew, I'm speechless! thank you for such a compliment! I appreciate what you've said and your patience with the conditions. OBX weather can be tricky at times however made it easy for me. thanks again, Capt Matt
We did the evening fishing trip. Captain Matt was so good with my grandsons. We caught several and he cleaned them for us so quickly when we got back. We would definitely book with Captain Matt again!
Derinda, thank you kindly for such a great review! your grandsons were a blast to fish with and I'm sure the OBX will have left a good impression on them for their future. Enjoy the rest of your vacation! blessings, Capt Matt
We had a great time with Captain Matt. The weather was an obstacle as it was pretty rough and windy, but Matt was very upfront with expectations and we were game for a good day on the water. It took us a while to get a bite but the sights were worth it. We had a good time talking with Matt and it was an experience being in some rougher weather. Would we have liked to catch some more fish? Sure, but we would happily go out with Captain Matt again. Great guy and a fun day. Thanks for everything Matt.
Tim, that's an awesome review! I really appreciate that you were understanding about the adverse conditions, yet you were adventurous enough to give it a try. we made the best of otherwise ugly conditions and although the fishing wasn't all that good, the company was! Thanks again for spending the day with me! regards, Capt Matt

Your captain
I've been an active crew member onboard some very successful charter operations in South Florida, as well as the outer Banks of NC. I was raised in the sport fishing industry from a very young age and have followed my father's footsteps. I originally started as a 'boat wash kid' where I tried to get my foot in the door in the industry. It's a rough neck industry for a young kid but I pushed my way through and eventually became a 2nd mate, first mate and after 15 years as a mate, I set a course for sea school where I would graduate with a 100 ton masters credential. I have been blessed and privileged to learn under some very well known captains who were very demanding and I feel that pressure helped me to become the captain I am today. As a captain and owner I have made honesty my highest aim. That's my personal policy and I stand by it. Now that I've climbed the ladder to the helm of my own boat, I get to teach people from all walks of life about fishing, boating and the marine world! Thanks for reading and let's go fishing!
