About Your Trip

Head out with Captain Matt for an awesome inshore/nearshore experience in New Smyrna Beach, FL! These waters have a very diverse population of inshore species that you can target on your adventures, like Redfish, Speckled Trout, Flounder, Sheepshead, Black Drum, Mackrel, Jack Crevalle, and Bluefish. Seasonal species like Triple Tail, Tarpon, and Cobia are also around during the summer months! Just let Captain Matt know what you're looking to catch and he will do his best to make it happen!

Captain Matt runs a 22' Sea Chaser center console bay boat. She's powered by a well-maintained Yamaha 150. This boat features 2 large live wells, a Raymarine GPS, a JL radio with 2 speakers, lots of useful rod holders, a large T-Top that provides lots of shade, and Yeti Coolers that are always loaded down with ice Hoist Hydration drinks, waters and snacks! This boat can accommodate up to 2 guests comfortably and for an extra $50 a person up to 5 can be added onto the trip.

Captain Matt comes prepared with all the necessary licensing as well as full insurance coverage, all the necessary bait and tackle for the type of fishing that day as well as iced down coolers with nonalcoholic drinks (water, Gatorade, Soda, etc. depending on what Matt has in stock), and you will only use high quality, well maintained Shimano and Penn reels paired up with St. Croix, TFO, and Shimano rods. If you want to bring your own gear that's awesome as well! Just let Captain Matt know in the days leading up to your trip.

Captain Matt is a very passionate angler who prides himself on making sure that no matter what the circumstances of the day might be, you will still have a great time out on the water. Safety is always the number one priority. Captain Matt is very flexible and is willing to do what it takes to make your dream day on the water a reality!

Verified Review

Five stars warranted. Skilled and personable captain with nice boat and gear, plus the requisite “local knowledge.” Did a half day with trip tailored by the captain to match our specific inshore interests and to maximize fishing time. Had continuous action, and it was fun to see my daughter catch a nice mixed bag of fish species she hadn’t seen. Highly recommend Captain Matt.
