Perfect Trip

3 Hour Quick Catch Adventure3 adults

We booked a last minute trip with Capt Matt and turned out to be a blast! we not only caught fish which is not a guarantee but Matt was also a very personable person and was there to answer any of your questions. Great charter to book with whether your an experienced angler or first time!!

    great fishing trip and experience

    3 Hour Quick Catch Adventure4 adults1 child

    overall great time with the family, caught fish consistently and captain Matt was great with my 7 year old son as well as the the rest of us. we caught mostly Grunt but also caught mangrove snappers, some red groupers, a puffer fish, a lady fish, hooked onto some other larger fish a few times that snapped the line unfortunately. I would definitely recommend this trip to others, we did the 3 hour nearshore trip and it was perfect. if going wothut kids I'd definitely recommend at least the 4 hr trip, if you have young ones the 3 seemed just right at least for us.

    Thank you so much. You guys did great! We had to work for them today but you definitely have some fish tacos in your future. It was a pleasure meeting you.

    Too many fish, not enough time!

    2 Hour Private Fishing Charter2 adults

    We originally booked 2 hours and quickly realized it wasn’t enough time to fully enjoy everything. The experience flew by, and there was still so much we wanted to do without feeling rushed. Upgrading to 4 hours would make a huge difference — it would allow us to relax longer, take our time, and really get the full value of what was offered. If you’re on the fence, I’d strongly recommend going with 4 hours from the start. It’s absolutely worth it.

    Response from Captain

    Glad you guys had a great time out there! That 2-hour trip is a fun way to get a quick taste, but it definitely goes by fast—especially when the bite is on. Next time we’ll get you set up on a 4-hour so we can really settle in, hit a few more spots, and keep the action going longer. Looking forward to having you back out!

    Caught a tiger shark along with an abundance of fish we brought home!

    6 Hour Private Fishing Charter4 adults

    Matt came well prepared bringing us water and sunscreen, he took us to awesome spots were we caught grunts, mangrove snappers, groupers, hogfish, and pufferfish. We even ran into cobias and I got the experience to reel in a tiger shark!

    it was an absolute pleasure fishing with you guys today. You did a nice job on the shark! Leader touch counts as a catch. Too bad about the cobia, maybe next time. Enjoy your fresh hogfish, mangrove snapper, and puffer.

    Capt. Matt Is Terrific!

    4 Hr. Nearshore2 adults

    Matt was very courteous, helpful, and did everything in his power to make my wife and I comfortable. He called ahead of the trip to introduce himself and answer any and all questions we might have before the trip. On the day of the trip he put us on fish right away, and the bite never faded! We brought home plenty of fish to enjoy. I would recommend Captain Matt without hesitation!!

    Response from Captain

    Thank you so much! I hope you enjoy the fresh fish. It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you. I hope we can get you out next time you are here.
