  Unforgetable fishing experience !!!

  3 Hour Trip on April 26, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  Together with my son (11 yr old), we were looking for a great fishing morning by hoping to catch some Mahi's since that was his dream. Then, as soon as the fishing session begun... his dream came true! He caught some Mahi's , a black fin tuna and finally big hammer shark was in one hook. We could managed to feel his power and then we released it, safely and healthy. This was a perfect fishing morning managed by the so experienced Capt Matthew. We really appreciate his support and service by sharing the expertise in a children friendly environment into the ship. I fully recommend it. Thanks Capt Matthew for this unforgetable fishing experience. Matias !

You and your son are building a similar bond and I appreciate that! keep him on the water and one day, he'll return the favor to your grandkids. safe travels going back over seas and till next time, Capt Matt

  Had a great time!

  3 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on May 7, 2026 • 4 adults

  We had our hearts set on catching some fish to bring back to our rental to cook... and we were not disappointed! Captain Matt was very knowledgeable and professional. This was the first time we tried to fish by trolling. He took the time to educate us on the equipment and the environment. We caught a couple that didn't meet legal length requirements, but we caught so many, it didn't matter that we had to release the two back! I would strongly advise you to listen to him when he says take an Uber! We were glad we did when we saw the parking area and how many of the spots were reserved or permit parking. Highly recommend Captain Matt :)

  Knowledgeable mariner

  3 Hour Trip - 9:00 AM on December 6, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

  Fished all my life, but first time fishing south Florida. Brought my 6 year old daughter for her first ocean trip ever. Chose Fish Advisor almost at random the day before our trip. Matt had a clean boat, good gear, but most of all knew how to use them. He shared with us the details about our fishing methods and tactics, which made us feel more informed and invested in the hunt. We hooked, fought, and safely released a beautiful 7 foot sailfish as the highlight of the trip. Matt was quick to shoot a video of the fish, which was really important for me. He was really nice to my daughter, and embellished her with a celebratory “full-blast” ride back to the marina at the conclusion of our trip. We’ll be back. Thanks Matt!

  Scott, I really appreciate that you took the time to write such a thorough review! it was awesome hooking up with that sailfish and I know it's a fish that you won't soon forget! it was a pleasure meeting you, your father and your very well behaved daughter. I look forward to meeting you guys again in the near future, captain Matt

  Outstanding Fishing Trip From Start to Finish!

  4 Hour Trip - 7:00 AM on October 17, 2025 • 2 adults

  Thank you Captain Matt for the fantastic fishing trip with my son and I. This was only his second time fishing and you gave him a memory that will last a lifetime. The Fish Advisor was in immaculate condition, and Matt’s entire operation is first class. Not only was Matt very personable and engaging (we had a great conversation on a number of different topics during the trip) but I learned more about open water/deep sea fishing on the four hour charter than I have in over fifty years of fishing. Best of all we landed a variety of fish, including a beautiful 10 pound Mahi caught by son. If you’re in South Florida and want an unforgettable fishing experience, I cannot recommend Captain Matt Fann and the Fish Advisor enough. Five out of Five stars!!

  Best captain there is!!

  3 Hour Trip - 2:00 PM on April 5, 2026 • 2 adults • 1 child

  My 11yr old daughter and I booked a 3 hr afternoon trip. We had a mahi in the boat within 5 minutes of getting the lines in the water. Captain Matt was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. You could tell that he genuinely enjoys what he does. We messaged him and took his recommendations on time. I would suggest the same.

  David, it's not every day, as a captain, that everything falls into place. you and your daughter were a blast and are top tier! I truly got a much from your daughter's enthusiasm and attention while we were fishing! Far too many kids have a hard time staying in tune but she has what it takes and more! keep her on the water for sure! thanks again and see you next time, Capt Matt
