Captain Matthew Long, a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, began his fishing journey in freshwater before discovering his passion for saltwater angling. After earning his degree from UNC Greensboro, he relocated to Myrtle Beach, where he spent several years managing the Murrells Inlet Outpost before transitioning to a full-time mate. His love for offshore fishing took off upon experiencing the incredible deep-sea opportunities Myrtle Beach has to offer.

Now at the helm of The Reel Myrtle Beach Fishing Charters, Captain Matthew invites anglers to explore the stunning waters of South Carolina and immerse themselves in the region’s abundant marine life. He ensures each trip is an unforgettable adventure, whether you're an experienced fisherman or just starting out. Guests will step aboard a top-of-the-line vessel for their offshore excursion. The 32’ Boston Whaler center console comfortably accommodates up to six anglers and is powered by twin 300 HP Suzuki engines, ensuring a swift and smooth ride to prime fishing grounds. Equipped with advanced navigation electronics, autopilot, radar, a full bathroom, a livewell, a multimedia system, and an icebox, the boat is designed for both comfort and efficiency.

For those seeking a slightly smaller option, the 26’ Sea Fox center console provides a great experience for up to five anglers. With twin 150 HP Mercury engines, a wireless trolling motor, and all necessary fishing equipment, this vessel is well-suited for a variety of fishing techniques. Anglers will have the opportunity to target a diverse range of species, including Mahi Mahi, Blackfin Tuna, Snapper, Gray Triggerfish, Wahoo, Grouper, Amberjack, and Cobia. With heavy tackle provided, guests can engage in bottom fishing, deep-sea fishing, trolling, spinning, jigging, and popping. Whether aiming for a trophy catch or a fresh seafood dinner, guests are welcome to keep their catch.

Everything needed for a successful day on the water—top-quality fishing gear, bait, and licenses—is included. Captain Matthew even takes care of catch cleaning, allowing guests to focus solely on enjoying the experience. Just bring your food, drinks, and a sense of adventure!
