Can’t say enough about Captain Matt. 36 hours before our trip he suffered a major cut requiring surgery and six stitches. But he didn’t let that stop him. Had the best birthday trip catching reds and sharks! Would highly recommend Simon Says! Thx again Matt!

We had a great time on our charter boat cruise! Captain Matt is awesome and extremely personable. He was accommodating to all our requests as well as went the extra mile to try to give us the best chance to catch fish and spot dolphins. We loved the laid-back atmosphere on the boat, it was very relaxing and we never felt rushed. I would book again in a heartbeat we had the best time! :)

Our experience with Matt at Simon Says Charters was THE BEST! My husband is an avid fisher and I myself get sick and never like to go out on the water. Matt knew this ahead of time and made sure to make sure I was comfortable he was very conscious of the weather we were going out in and was reassuring of me the entire time. I ended up having a great time and my husband and his friends had an absolute blast! Pricing is fair and the experience as a whole is so worth it. Definitely recommend hitting the water with Simon Says!
