'buccaneer's bud' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for matey that I've seen before include "Friendly, sociable" , "Close chum (slang)" , "Sunshine" , "uncomfortably friendly" , "Chummy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
