We 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.

Great 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!

He is a true master of fishing, widely recognized for his exceptional expertise and deep understanding of the sea. With countless hours spent on the water, he possesses an outstanding ability to read ocean conditions — from currents and tides to wind patterns and fish behavior — with remarkable precision.

His knowledge spans every aspect of marine fishing, including offshore and deep-sea techniques, equipment selection, bait strategies, and safety at sea. Every trip is not merely a fishing excursion, but a professionally guided experience that consistently delivers real results.

What truly sets him apart is his profound respect for the marine ecosystem. He practices and promotes sustainable fishing, demonstrating a responsible approach to the ocean while generously sharing his knowledge with others. This makes him not only a top-tier angler, but also a highly respected marine expert.

For anyone seeking excellence, reliability, and true professionalism in the world of fishing and the sea, he stands as the definitive choice.

we headed out with out skipper Chris, and wow, an absolutely amazing day on the water. As soon as we dropped Anchor the fish were on. We went to 5 different spots, Chris is a top bloke, great experience, great knowledge and just an all round awesome guy. Do yourself a favour and book through Out n About, you wont be disappointed. Vessels are well maintained, equipment outstanding, vessels are equipped with all the safety gear and everything you need for a great day out.

We came all the way from California to to explore the awsome fishery of Port Douglas. Even without great conditions Matt our guide was able to give us every chance at a true trophy and still put quality fish on the boat. Matt has to be one of the best guides on the water with his high end custom boat, top quality equipment and expert knowledge of the area. Could not recomend him more and will be back soon!
