Matt Gorman

Member since February 2023 Haleiwa, United States
Background
Deep Sea is a professional owner-operated boat. We care about great catches and safe and memorable experiences. We cater our charters to our customers. Our expertise is finding open ocean pelagic species. No experience is necessary to have a great time. As your captain, I have a lifetime of ocean experience. I started working on charter boats for tips at nine years old. I have over two decades of experience fishing out of Haleiwa. I learned the do's and don'ts of charter fishing from some of the original Haleiwa charter boat captains. Rough seas happen but for the Deep Sea, they aren't a problem.
