    Fishing Trip to Remember

    3/4 Day Trip on December 29, 2021 • 2 adults

    Captain Ron was amazing from the very beginning. He was very quick to respond with any questions I had before the trip and even checked in the day before. He was punctual and even ready early. Once out on the water he was very personalable with us and made us feel welcomed. He had all the necessary equipment and more. He provided us with a cooler to put the water, lunch and snacks in that we packed. He moved around to many different spots and you could tell that he was knowledgeable of the area and where to fish. He went above and beyond our expectations and made the experience memorable. I would highly recommend him for your next trip!

    3/4 Day Trip with a bunch of Southerners

    3/4 Day Trip on January 8, 2022 • 4 adults

    Captain Ron was an amazing guide!! He was very thorough and helpful with informing us of the types of species, what our plan was and avoided any bad weather coming towards us. He was a great instructor for the girls casting and while strategic with reeling in the “big ones” for the guys! We will definitely look to Captain Rob again for our Keys Adventure! 😎🎣

Born and raised in South Florida, the fishing bug struck Capt. Ron at a very early age. His family spent summers and weekends fishing and boating in the upper Keys and that's where his obsession grew. While in college he began mating on private and local charter boats in the Miami area. His travels took him to the Bahamas, Hawaii, and Costa Rica. After achieving his goal of a career in the fire service, he still craved to be on the water as much as he could. In 2003 he started Green Eyed Girl Charters, and began a journey of making life long friends and memories in the Florida Keys.
