Fishing definitely runs in the blood of Captain Matt Yaquinto of Sunstate Fishing Charters. His family has been fishing in the Tampa area for 50+ years, and Captain Matt's been fishing these waters since Day 1!
Captain Matt left his job as a firefighter to pursue his professional fishing charter dreams and has never looked back. His main goal is to make his guests happy – especially those who have never fished before!
Captain Matt is hard-working and caches live bait for his trips every morning before he starts his trips. Bait is key when fishing Tampa Bay, so Captain Matt makes sure to provide a live-well full of live baitfish.
Get out on the waters of Tampa Bay with Captain Matt Yaquinto of Sunstate Fishing Charters today!

Captain Matt was the perfect person to take my sons and I out. He was really patient since none of us were experienced and took us to some great spots. Caught a lot of fish and kids had a great time. They kept saying we had to go out with Captain Matt again. Thank you!

Captain Matt is a cool dude and knows his stuff. It was my son and I first time inshore fishing off a boat and he really showed us the ropes. I will definitely booking another trip soon and recommend him to my family and friends!
