Meet Captain Matt – Your Laid-Back Fishing Guide
Captain Matt has 10+ years guiding first-timers and families in Murrells Inlet and Myrtle Beach. He’s not just about landing fish, he’s about making sure everyone on board has a relaxed, fun time (and leaves with a good story).
Is deep sea fishing good for beginners?
Yes! Our beginner charters are designed for first-timers and families. With shorter trips, easier fishing styles, and patient coaching, you’ll have a blast even if it’s your first time holding a rod.
What should I bring on a fishing charter as a beginner?
Bring a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, drinks/snacks in a small cooler, and a good attitude. We’ll handle all the gear and the fishy stuff.
What happens if I get seasick? Most beginner trips stay close to shore where the water is calmer. Still worried? Take Dramamine the night before and again the morning of. We keep it easy.
