Richard WrightRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water
6 Hr – Fishing Adventure on April 22, 2025 • 3 adultsCapt Rob really knows these waters. If the fish weren’t biting in one location, moved us to another area and got us on the fish. He was patient with us but really made it an enjoyable trip. Probably the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of fishing with so far, and learned a few new things. Highly recommend doing a trip with him, you won’t regret it.
Sarah Broadley5.0VerifiedGreat day on the water with Rob
4 Hr – Fishing Adventure on April 23, 2025 • 2 adultsWe had a blast out on the water fishing! We caught quite a few fish and saw some dolphins. Rob was a great Captain, we will definitely be booking with him again when we come back. He is super flexible, professional and helpful. We sometimes forgot we had paid him to take us out, it felt like we were fishing with a friend! Highly recommend!!!
Steve Popovski5.0VerifiedGreat Mornjnf
4 Hr – Fishing Adventure on March 8, 2024 • 2 adultsRobert was very communicative in terms of pre charter (location, what to wear, bring, last minute questions)..he had lots of water on board for us. The boys caught fish (snook/snapper/red fish), Robert knows his spots. I would definitely recommend him for a small group (2-3). Boat was clean and perfect for what we needed.
Gregg DelmanRepeat angler5.0VerifiedGreat trip, great captain

great service and a chill vibe that left us feeling attended to but also relaxed. perfect day.
This was a blast. It was my second charter in SWFL ,and my first with captain Robert. He had us jumping all over trying to put us on the fish that I requested to catch, and he did . The boat was perfect for my son and I. It was by far the best charter He makes you feel like you're fishing with your buddies. I highly recommend flatfin fishing. We had a day on the water that we will never forget. Thanks captain.
