About Your Trip

Looking for a relaxing and scenic escape on the water? Captain Matt’s 3-hour Waterfall Tour on Lake Jocassee is the perfect way to experience the lake’s hidden gems—remote waterfalls, crystal-clear coves, and jaw-dropping mountain views—all from the comfort of a fully equipped 24’ AnglerQwest pontoon boat.

This trip is ideal for families, couples, or small groups (up to 6 passengers) who want to unwind and explore the quieter side of the lake. Captain Matt will guide you to secluded waterfalls only accessible by boat, where you can take photos, enjoy a peaceful swim, or just kick back and take it all in.

The boat features comfortable seating, a spacious layout, and—if the weather turns cool—a full enclosure with onboard heat to keep you cozy. On sunny days, the enclosure drops down so you can bask in the fresh mountain air and enjoy the sunshine.

You're welcome to bring your favorite food and drinks, with plenty of cooler space available. Want to make it extra special? Bring something for the grill and enjoy a floating cookout with unbeatable lake views!

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just want a relaxing day on the water, this 3-hour waterfall tour offers a peaceful and memorable Lake Jocassee experience. Book your trip today and discover the magic of Jocassee’s waterfalls!

About Your Guide

Matt M.

Independent Guide

Hello, this Captain Matt. I'm a USCG certified captain operating on beautiful Lake Jocassee in upstate South Carolina. I have been fishing Lake Jocassee since I was a young child. My Grandpa and Father started taking me to Lake Jocassee in 1976 (4 years after it was flooded). Every since, Lake Jocassee has become a very special place to me and my family - Truly it is my 2nd home! As your guide, my mission is to ensure you have the ultimate Jocassee experience. My knowledge of the lake and fishery provides my clients the best chance to catch a trophy trout year round. I love to share my knowledge and fishing tricks with my clients.

First Time Booking with Us?

Captain Experiences is home to thousands of quality, vetted fishing, hunting, and other outdoor sports guides across the US and beyond. Our mission is to Unlock the Outdoors by making it quick and easy to book the trip of a lifetime every time with our Damn Good Guides.

We vet our guides and only partner with the best of the best. Our guides do their very best to keep you safe, show you a great time, and send you home with a memorable experience shared with family and friends.

Once you've paid your deposit at checkout, we'll send you a QR Code boarding pass. Just show your guide your boarding pass on the day of the trip, they'll scan it, the remaining balance will transfer automatically, and you'll be all set to get out there. Just make sure you bring a cash tip for the guide!

In the event of inclement weather, our guides will check the conditions and make the final call on whether its safe to go on the trip. If they decide the trip needs to be postponed, we'll work closely with you to reschedule or provide a credit for the full deposit, which can be applied to any of our trips in the US and beyond.

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses. Additional costs may include leases, marina or slip fees, and the expenses involved in providing and maintaining the necessary gear for your trip.

After booking your trip, we'll connect you directly with your guide to discuss additional details. In the meantime, our team is here to answer any questions via email, text, or phone.
