Fantastic ride! Matt was very patient with us since we were a little late and very accommodating to one of us with medical concerns. He also answered all of our questions about Charleston. Definitely worth the trip!

My son and I had an amazing time fishing. It was a perfect day to be out on the ocean and both guys were helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. I would definitely call on Matt to take us out again. Thank you so much!

Matt was great, fun to talk to, very knowledgeable and helpful. We caught a few things in the two hour timeframe (including the huge red drum pictured!), but he extended the trip so we could get a few more catches in. Will look him up again when we’re back in ...Read More Charleston. Highly recommend!
