L4K Charters provides amazing fishing experiences in Niceville and Destin, both inshore and nearshore, up to nine nautical miles. Captain Rob Hansill is a Florida native and a retired US Marine. Captain Rob holds a Master’s endorsement on his Merchant Mariner Credential, Title 46 U.S. Code, and is certified by The United States Coast Guard National Maritime Center.
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!

3-Hour Inshore Fishing "Triple" on July 17, 2024
We met Captain Ron first thing in the morning- right off the bat he was kind and personable- he took us to great spots and we were catching fish on the first cast! Literally. We ended up with dinner for the night. He was exceptional with the kids- keeping them engaged, asking questions- I was impressed with the rapport we all developed so quickly. We will 100% be using him for future fishing trips!

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.
