Owners & Guides

Extreme Instinct fishing and survival adventures offer trips of a lifetime in Southwest Florida personally guided by fishing experts and world-renowned survivalists Matt and Brooke Wright.

Our Extreme Instinct 'Adventuress' boat named after Brooke's passion for fishing, alligator hunting and her esteemed ADVENTURESS of the Year title, is a unique custom built 21' GRIZZLY TRACKER fully equipped for serious inshore fishing and bowfishing excursions. Outfitted in the best fishing gear, USGS safety gear, Mercury motor and Minn Kota trolling motor we can go the extra mile to put you on the fish you want to catch.

Capt. Matt Wright has over 15 years experience fishing all over Florida's rivers and coasts, with countless hours on the water and local expertise in the Charlotte Harbor Gulf Island Coast to get you the fish you seek. Brooke Wright has spent over 9 years fishing these same waters and bowfishing Southwest Florida's biggest and most difficult game fish. And, as survivalists, we don't like to go hungry, so she's also our incredible chef, providing mouthwatering meals! Together we're not only locally knowledgable, but are truly hardcore anglers and our passion for this sport and extreme expert survival techniques excels us far beyond your standard fishing charter. 

Whether you're a novice or advanced fisherman wanting a full day trip, to our extreme overnight trips, with survival education mixed in between, we can customize a package specific for your needs.

We are conveniently located near Punta Gorda and depart from Laishley Park Marina for most of our salt water excursions. Our fishing includes tarpon, sharks and flats fish. 

*All our trips are customizable* - day or night, whether you wish to fish, try bowfishing, spear fishing or want to learn more about primitive survival. We provide all gear, bait, tackle, food and beverage, plus ice and a cooler for your catch of the day. We can also clean your fish for transport or cook your fresh catch on our special boat grill.

• Lodging/Accommodations are often very affordable near the harbor. Fisherman's Village in Punta Gorda is a quaint and fun area with hotels and airbnb's along the water with our favorite waterfront restaurants (many of which we can dock the boat for you to enjoy waterfront views for lunch or dinner). Most hotels are a few short mintues drive or walk to the boat marina. 
• Flights: Fort Myers is the main airport, about a 45 min drive to Punta Gorda. Allegiant Air is also conveniently located in Punta Gorda. 
• Fishing license: you will need to purchase a salt water and/or fresh water license from GoOutdoorsFlorida.com. (A non-resident 3-day license is $17). 

Southwest Florida is known for its sport fish like Tarpon, Snook, Cobia, Grouper and Drum.  Punta Gorda/Charlotte Harbor and Boca Grande Pass are considered the “Tarpon Fishing Capital of the World”. If shark fishing is on your bucket list, we can make that happen too!
