Matt started a small travel agency in his hometown of Charleston, South Carolina in 2016, offering customized itineraries to destinations around the globe. Fortunately, Matt and his travel brand survived the 2020 pandemic thru a thriving Caribbean portfolio and an incredible client base.

In 2021, Matt joined 50+ Travel Advisors onboard the first passenger vessel to sail the Rhine in 16 months, celebrating the return of tourism to European waterways. It was his first river cruise. On that day, a desire for more highly immersive travel experiences began.

When that passion became a concept, and that concept met experience, a brand new company was born. One that pulls together the very best itineraries, dates, and river lines, offers them at a better price, and provides an onboard host to ensure our clients’ journeys unfold flawlessly.

In 2022, Matt experienced the charm of Europe’s other famed waterway, the Danube, first hand to better match clients to the right itineraries and to prepare for incredible Hosted Sailings in 2023 & 2024. He has first hand knowledge of the ships you’ll sail, the ports you’ll visit, and he’s confident that sailing with a Host is the best way to get maximum value from your vacation investment.
