We had an outstanding four-hour fishing trip with Captain Matt, Captain Christian, and mate Quinten! Their booking process was top-notch: highly organized, extremely hospitable, and genuinely nice to work with!
We caught tons of fish in such a short time — they kept us on the fish nonstop and were incredibly quick to re-cast our lines without a moment’s pause after bringing in a fish. The boat both inside and on the deck was very comfortable. The pricing was an exceptional value, too!
They were also excellent at accommodating a wheelchair, making the entire experience smooth and enjoyable. As an added bonus, we even saw dolphins on the way in!
We had the best time and walked away feeling like we made lifelong friends. We can’t wait to book another trip with them. Highly recommend — book them now!

Had an amazing day on the Gulf with this crew. Christian, as the booking manager, made the onboarding process seamless and easy. Captain Matt Champion, being a true native to area, knew exactly where to put us on all the best bites of Grouper, Snapper, and Trigger...What I like to call a Gulf Grand Slam! And deckhand Dominick's relentless and very efficient hard work was gratuitously appreciated. I could not have asked for a better experience.

Captain Matt went above and beyond to make sure we we the trip of a lifetime. The first mates were unbelievable. Everything about the charter was exceptional. I would recommend the Championship to anyone who wants to catch fish. The longer the trip the better for everything!
Thanks guys!

My family and I had an amazing time with Captain Matt and Thomas. Throughout the whole trip we were catching fish and caught all different types of species. Christian was very helpful making sure our reservation was set perfectly. The fishing trip exceeded everyone's expectations and I cant thank everyone enough. We are very happy for the memories that were made and we look forward to fishing with Captain Matt and his crew again in the future.

Went out with Captain Matt and the crew for a 24 hour trip. Matt kept us on several species of fish and knew exactly where to find them.
We hooked up on 3 swordfish with in roughly 3 hours. Was unable to get them on the deck(due to fish) but we had one boat side that was 200+ we fought hard for 2.5 hours before the hook pulled.
(Will be back for revenge on the swordfish for sure)
By far the best trip I’ve ever been on to date!!
Have always been treated as family each time out!!
Keep Them Down and Tight Captain Matt and crew.🎣🙌
Let’s do it AGAIN 🙏
Thanks for the great MEMORIES with my son/friend for life!!!
YOU’RE THE BEST!!!!

Five star outing!!!! Fantastic day of red snapper fishing with Captian Matt and his deckhand Steven. We booked a six hour trip and had a limit of great sized snapper within the first two hours. We also caught a couple of grouper - one was tagged - but due to being out of season we had to release. One thing that stood out about this trip is Capt. Matt seemed to go out of his way to fish for what our boys wanted to catch. Steven was also great about adapting to different skill levels within our group. We fished the full six hours, where as other charters have asked to cut the trip short once a snapper limit was caught. If you are looking for a great chapter trip, I highly recommend Championship Charters! (Last pic is of our fresh catch dinner. Broiled snapper with a lemon butter sauce! DELICIOUS!!)
