Captain Christopher Mattson is a sure bet for your fishing charter experience. We went out on a blustery day with some rain, but Captain Mattson was determined to find us fish. We stopped at a number of locations fishing the grasses for Red Fish. When the location didn't pan out or after we caught one or two, we moved on to the next location. Overall, we reeled in 10 Red Fish, most too large to keep! But we did have two that were within size limits. Captain Mattson cleaned the fish for us and even provided some cooking tips. We cooked the fish on the grill and it was fantastic. Mattson Charters is definitely the way to go. We'll book all our trips with Mattson Charter Service from now on. read more

Booked a trip with Chris on our anniversary. The trip started off searching for cobia and triple tail. They weren't cooperating and we switched to redfish. Having fished with numerous guides around the United States, I can tell you that Chris worked hard to make it happen for us. We hit multiple spots looking for redfish and Chris's persistence paid off. When a guide is running the boat from spot to spot burning fuel, he is actually making less money. We eventually hit a number of spots where the redfish were waiting and we put five in the boat. Chris was a great person to spend a day with on the water and my wife and I would do it again. He did whatever it took to put fish in the boat. read more

Of course the yacht itself is incredible but the crew made it even more special. They spent a lot of time with me in advance to plan the perfect night. The chef was 5 stars, we are still dreaming about the meal. Captain Ed went above and beyond arranging every detail for the perfect night. The stewardess, Carrie, was attentive, kind, fun, and always made sure we had more than enough. I give Top Shelf 10/10 and look forward to chartering it again in the future. They made a memorable experience even more magical!!

Captain Ed and Chef Joel were accommodating and hospitable. We all agreed that the experience was extraordinary and unique. The boat is luxurious and well equipped, with several indoor and outdoor areas to gather. We started with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres outside and move to the bow of the boat for sunset and then inside for a beautiful sit down three-course dinner. I am not sure how the night could've gotten any better. A heartfelt thank you to the Top Shelf crew that made my birthday so very special

Simply…read moreput you can't begin to understand the region until you learn about the relationship of the water to the land and Captain John was exceptional in accomplishing this during our two hour private boat tour. I think Dolphin Adventures is a bit of a misnomer. Yes we saw dolphins close up a mother and her kids but the highlights was the ecology of the area. We learned about how everything works together in this environment , sat right over and oyster bed and learned the history of oyster farming. Viewed homes from the water and learned their stories and history. Captain John pointed out more bird species than I suspect most people see on a birding tour. The two hours went by so quickly we were sad to see the tour end. If we return to Beaufort we definite would take another adventure with Captain John. If you only do one thing in Beaufort take this tour. It was one of the highlights of our two week swing through Beaufort Savannah and Charleston. Not to be missed!!!!

I didn't know what i wanted to serve so he walked me though the menu and made suggestions. (The meatballs and teriyaki wings were amazing!!!) There is no set menu so you're not limited on the food you want served. I ordered food for 40 people but was able to feed upwards of 60 and still have leftovers. This entire experience from the scheduling to cleanup was seamless. He arrived early, set everything up, stayed until we were done and cleanup was quick. I received more compliments about the food then i did about the promotion ceremony itself lol. I'm looking forward to utilizing this service again in the future.
