Captain Rob is passionate about helping people find their joy and manage grief. Only one day on the water can break a cycle of sadness. Families touched by tragedy, cancer survivors, and combat veterans have priority.
All aboard 'Dress Blues' – a brand new 25' Dorado Custom Boat center console launched in March 2024. Powered by a 300 HP Mercury engine, she's the perfect vessel for a smooth ride. She features comfortable seating space, a private toilet, and a shaded area. It's great for families with children, first-time anglers, as well as hardcore anglers.
There's enough room for 6 guests on board and all anglers can fish under the captain's license. This makes his vessel the perfect choice if you have a mixed group, and are traveling with guests or family members who just want to come along for the ride. The vessel is limited to 1,120 lbs of combined passenger weight.
There's a variety of trips to choose from – it all depends how long you want to be on the water, what you want to catch, or your skill level. One trip that you will rarely find available anywhere else is a 2-hour Memory Maker, which is a great option if you're bringing your kids along.
A fishing license, equipment, and bait are included. You only need to bring drinks and snacks.
All are welcome for a day 'at ease.' Find the trip for you and contact L4K Charters today!

We had a free day in Destin, so we decided to take a half day charter with our 80 year old Dad. We wanted to get him back on the boat again with a bent pole, and Capt. Rob over-delivered! Capt. Rob has made his vessel so he can accommodate ANYONE that wants to, can fish and smile again. He made sure Dad could board the boat effortlessly, and kept him comfortable the entire trip. The ride was silky smooth throughout the day. And we caught fish! As soon as we dropped in the first spot, Fish On! We had an action packed day and caught several Red Drum (Spot Tails) and two nice sheep’s head. Capt. Ron is courteous, professional, attentive to detail and tailors the trip to your needs. Not only is he a great Captain, but also a great Christian. We had a wonderful time making memories and talking about Jesus. Afterward he ensured Dad (and we) got off the boat safely, cleaned our catch, and invited us to join him again next time we are here. A very genuine man. We made a new friend today and will most definitely fish with him again soon. You should too!
The Foys were amazing! They are fantastic anglers from the great state of NC! We found lots of commonalities because I lived there for eight of my 22 years in the Marine Corps. The redfish were on fire and we had a bonus with two big sheepshead. Fellowship and fishing under a full, blue sky and warm sunshine with great Americans. We crossed the Choctawhatchee Bay twice without a single wave. It was glassy smooth. Carolina even rode back to Bluewater Bay Marine in the tower. Mr Roy (80) was able to move around comfortably because the Dorado has a flat deck from bow to stern. No steps too big for a man with limited mobility. This was a beautiful day with a great family. The Foys are always welcome aboard Dress Blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob
Captain Rob is great! He is very personable and very accommodating to novice anglers. He has no hesitation in assisting in any way he can whether that be casting, baiting, or just teaching some other basic fishing skills. Boat had plenty of room for 4 of us. Definitely recommend going out on a trip with him. We had a blast!
Capt Rob, was an outstanding captain. he put us on fish from the first line in the water. He was great great with the nephew and hrand daughter. outstand job Capt Rob, we will be back on our next fishing experience! this was a trip that made everlasting memories.
Hey Tommy. Thank you for your service to our country and the US Navy. It was a pleasure to be around a fellow Veteran today. You and your family were great. The fishing was amazing, and the fellowship was perfect.  You and your family are always welcome aboard dress blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob
We limited out on redfish and put some trout and snapper in the box too. Great anglers! Everyone made memories and left smiling. My favorite trip is with families like this one! Joey, your crew is always welcome aboard Dress Blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob

Your captain
I was born in South Florida, grew-up in Central Florida, and stepped away for a 22-year career as a United States Marine. I retired in 2012 and began a career of ministry. Combat and personal tragedy shaped my passion for helping people find their joy and manage grief. I fished all over the world and find peace on the water. I became a credentialed captain to give others the chance to smile again as I did.
