Half Day Trip (AM) • 2 adultsWe had an absolutely fantastic day out on the water thanks to Matty. His experience as a captain really shows—he knows exactly where to go and how to make the most of the conditions, which made for an incredibly successful and enjoyable trip. What really stood out, though, was how easygoing and approachable he is. From the moment we stepped on board, everything felt relaxed and well taken care of. No stress, no pressure—just a great atmosphere and plenty of laughs. The equipment was seriously impressive too—top of the range gear that made the whole experience feel premium and professional. You can tell Matty takes pride in what he does. He genuinely went above and beyond to make sure we had the perfect day, always checking in, adjusting things to suit us, and making sure everyone was having a great time. Couldn’t recommend this charter highly enough—if you’re thinking about booking, do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Half Day Shared Charter (PM) • 2 adultsGreat half day out with Matt. He explained that it wasnt the time of the year that fish were biting. Despite that he took us down the river and we caught a bunch of Bream, saw some crocodiles and had a great chat. Highly recommend heading out with him, looking foraard to coming back when the fish are on the chew!
