Captain Matt is the epitome of an excellent ambassador, captain and host. He is very knowledgeable about the area, he has great stories and has led an interesting life. We were immediately comfortable with him and felt like we were long list friends. This didn’t feel at all like a business transaction. We felt comfortable, safe and well take care of right from the start of our combination fishing snorkeling adventure. Captain Matt was attentive yo my needs as a disabled person and we managed...

Went online to book an Islamorada sandbar trip. After reviewing all the choices decided on Bamboo Charters. Had an incredibly great time, Capt. Matt is definitely our choice when we return. Guy is incredibly knowledgeable, personable and just plain down to earth. Boat was well equipped and clean and he was a great host.! Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him or to go on another trip with him. Frank Palmer La Mirada, Ca.

Frank you and your group were a blast aboard our boat “Pearl the Chubby Mermaid”. The conditions at Alligator Reef Lighthouse were no less than spectacular! I’m glad y’all enjoyed the Islamorada Sandbar to end the adventure. Come on back soon and we will get you out in the Everglades National Park and do some amazing fishing. Thank you Capt Matt Bellinger

Matt was a great captain, allowed us to go to a quieter spot for snorkeling as it was a busy holiday weekend. He had everything we needed to snorkeling including towels and drinks. He even provided recommendations for places to check out around the area we were visiting, highly recommend!
