Based in Clearwater, our charter provides an unforgettable experience on the water. If you don’t find exactly what you’re looking for, just reach out and we’ll work to design a customized trip for you. Captain Matthew is dedicated to ensuring you enjoy an exciting day of fishing.
We offer 4-hour excursions focused on targeting species such as Redfish, Snapper, Grouper, and Cobia, depending on the season and current conditions. During these outings, you'll have the opportunity to use a variety of fishing methods including light and heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, drift fishing, jigging, and spinning.
Your adventure begins aboard a fully equipped 29-foot Pro Kat center console boat, which accommodates up to four anglers. The vessel includes amenities such as an ice box, Garmin fish finder, radar, enclosed head, and a wireless trolling motor.
Safety is a top priority; Captain Matt supplies a range of equipment including VHF radios (one handheld), an EPIRB, a 4-person life raft, and a 48-mile radar system with XM satellite weather updates to keep you informed of any approaching conditions.
All fishing gear — rods, reels, and terminal tackle — is provided, allowing you to concentrate on the fishing experience. Your trip also includes all necessary fishing licenses for the day. Refreshments are supplied onboard, and you are welcome to bring your own drinks; please inform the captain ahead of time.
Guests have shared glowing feedback such as, “Captain Matt quickly got us on the fish and kept us going all day. We enjoyed the freshest fish dinner thanks to his expert filleting. The unexpected catch of a Cobia was a highlight, and it was my son's biggest catch ever. We look forward to the next trip!”
