Offshore/Deep Sea - 30 mile max
30 Mile offshore with Capt. Bobby
Capt. Bobby and his wife Alyssa are the perfect duo for taking you out for the perfect fishing trip. From the time we booked, he called and introduced himself, spoke a little about himself and what we should expect to fish for. We did a 30 mile offshore. The conditions were unfortunately a bit rough, but capt. Bobby was determined to find us fish and boy did he. We caught all kinds of fish. Grunts, Mangrove snapper, hogfish, Spanish mackerel,porgie and cobia. We had to release the cobia and hogfish because they were undersized but nevertheless we caught a lot of fish on a day with not so great conditions. Big thank you to Capt. Bobby and his wife Alyssa for a great time, and also giving me some great tips on how to improve my bass game. You guys are 10 stars all the way. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you book with Capt. Bobby. You can bet your in for a great time, no matter the conditions!

Inshore and Offshore Combo (7hr)
Perfect Day on the Water – Captain Bobby & First Mate Alyssa Deliver Florida Fishing at Its Best!
Our first Florida charter fishing experience could not have been more perfect. From the moment we stepped aboard the 27’ Ameracat, Captain Bobby and First Mate Alyssa made us feel welcome, comfortable, and confident. Their teamwork, knowledge of the waters, and genuine passion for fishing created an unforgettable day. Captain Bobby navigated us straight to the fish, while Alyssa made sure everyone on board was set up for success—patiently helping with gear, offering guidance, and celebrating every catch right alongside us. We had the thrill of reeling in a variety of species, each one adding to the excitement. The balance of professionalism and friendly hospitality made the trip just as enjoyable as the fishing itself. Every detail was thought of, from top-notch equipment to having our catch cleaned and ready to go at the end. For anyone looking for the ultimate Florida fishing adventure, this husband-and-wife team sets the bar high. We can’t wait to come back!

Best Captain of all times
From the first step into Capt Bobby's property he made you feel so welcome. He is kind and very well knowledgeable about the waters, all that surrounds the area and let's not forget his knowledge of all the fish and how to catch them. My Dad and I had the greatest day out with Captain Bobby, we will most definitely be back when I'm in town. Kiddos to the man that loves to fish and teach everyone that boards his boat.
