2hr Trip AM (KIDS FISH FREE) on July 3, 2025

Captain Matt was a great person and had us on fish all day! We were almost 30 mins late due to us having the wrong address. Matt was understanding and waited for us patiently. His boat was clean and organized. Also he helped us with what ever we needed. He baited hooks if we needed or casted if we needed. If we felt comfortable casting and baiting he trusted us with his equipment to do it ourselves. I highly recommend him and I will be scheduling another fishing trip with him for years to come. Thank you Matt!!!

Short Trip PM 2 plus hrs on June 25, 2025

Booked a 2hr fishing trip with Matt. Matt picked us up on time. Instead of getting us aboard and having us fish a random spot for the 2hrs we booked, He took the extra time and took us down the channel to a great spot, approx an hour each way, we still were able to fish for the full time and caught some big fish! Great time!

Wonderful private fishing days

VERIFIED

Half Day Trip PM 4 plus hrs on March 11, 2025

This was a very productive and rewarding outing for two beginner/novice fishing brothers… we had two beautiful days of weather in 75° temperature, a boat that could handle all of the inland waterways with no problem and the myriad of back channels that would confuse anyone, except for our calm and accommodating captain. Matt was just a perfect example of a young man with a lot of knowledge and skill and devotion. We successfully caught 11 different species of fish, definitely a successful trip, he was very responsive and made the private excursion a wonderful experience

Matt was great! We had an 11 year old on the boat who wanted to try and cast into some tight areas and got tangled up quite a bit. Matt handled it all with amazing patience. I would recommend this charter to anyone looking to have a great time out on the water.

Best fishing trip ever

VERIFIED

2hr Trip AM (KIDS FISH FREE) on May 28, 2025

Captain Matt definitely knew what he was doing and knows the best spots for catching alot of fish. At one point all we were doing was casting out and immediately reeling back in because we hooked a fish. Best experience I've ever had. My son said he wished we had unlimited money so we could take unlimited fishing trips. Thank you sooo much Captain Matt for an experience we will never forget.

With two decades of experience on the waters around Daytona Beach, Captain Matt Maddox is an expert in getting you to the hottest inshore bite. It was his father that got him into fishing, so Capt. Matt decided to follow in his dad's footsteps and run charters for a living. Nothing beats the feeling of being on the water and hearing that reel scream with a hefty catch on the other side.
