About Your Trip

Head 70–110 miles offshore for a full day of serious fishing with Captain Matt! This 10-hour private American Red Snapper trip out of Naples is built for anglers who want to experience what the deep Gulf has to offer. With over 20 years of experience fishing these waters, Captain Matt brings the know-how, gear, and drive to put you in the right place at the right time.

Your ride for the day is a brand-new
2025 34’ Freeman, designed for speed, stability, and comfort on long runs offshore. This boat is fully equipped with modern tech, including Starlink internet and full cell service, so you can stay connected throughout the trip—whether you’re checking the forecast, sharing photos, or just staying in touch with family back on land.

One of the standout features of this vessel is the MinnKota Riptide GPS trolling motor with Spot-Lock, which allows Captain Matt to lock the boat precisely over structure without wasting time anchoring—keeping you fishing longer and maximizing your chances of hooking into something special.

During Red Snapper season, these deep-water trips are all about targeting the vibrant, hard-fighting Snapper that call the Gulf’s reefs and wrecks home. Known for their aggressive strikes and excellent eating quality, Red Snapper are a top prize for both seasoned anglers and first-timers alike.

Captain Matt provides high-quality rods, reels, bait, and tackle, and will tailor techniques to fit the conditions and your goals—whether it’s bottom fishing, live baiting, or jigging over structure. With his deep knowledge of the area and a sharp eye for the bite, you’ll be set up for success.

Just bring along your food, drinks, sun protection, and a cooler for your cleaned catch. Captain Matt will handle the rest, including cleaning and bagging your fish at the end of the trip.

If you're looking to explore the deep waters off Naples with an experienced local guide and a top-of-the-line setup, this American Red Snapper trip with Captain Matt delivers a well-equipped, professionally run adventure you won’t soon forget.

Hey, born and raised in beautiful Naples, Florida. As a lifelong native of the Gulf Coast, the ocean has always been my backyard. I’ve been fishing these waters for as long as I can remember, and I’ve held my U.S. Coast Guard Captain’s License since I was 18. Now at 27, I proudly hold a 100-Ton Master License and run one of the most unique charter experiences you’ll find in Southwest Florida.
