Boat trip with Captain Matt Newberry
4 Hour – Beach Trip on March 1, 20264 adults

Captain Matt gave us a grest tour of Boca Grande. I have been coming here for 40 years and had never seen the island from the Gulf side. He quickly knew his audience and finished off our trip with a stop at a terrific Tiki bar on Boleelia! Captain Matt is personable, professional, and highly knowledgeable! I strongly recommend him for either a day of fishing or a sightseeing tour.
