Our afternoon fishing excursion with Captain Bob could not have been better. It was a gorgeous day and the boat was ready for us when we arrived with coolers and ice. We caught over 25 fish including hogfish, sheepshead, and porgy. Captain Bob was knowledgeable and patient with us novice deep sea fishers. Aboard the ship was our 12-year-old son. This excursion was his bucket list vacation item and he really wanted to catch a shark. Captain Bob said he couldn’t promise anything, but he made it happen! He was amazing with our son, spending 22 minutes helping him reel in a sandbar shark to the side of the boat. It was an epic day we won’t forget! As we headed back to the dock, our son got a quick driving lesson and we even stopped to see some dolphins. Captain Bob fileted all our fish back at the dock which was entertaining in itself with all the pilicans waiting for the scraps. We cannot recommend Captain Bob enough. He was a great guy, knowledgeable, and made made our son’s fishing dreams come true.
What a great time my family and I had. Captain Bob was amazing, and extremely knowledgeable. He also took the time to explain to my son what he was doing and showed him some casting techniques. we caught some good fish and now time for dinner! I would highly recommend Captain Bob for a great time and some great fishing.
We had such a great trip with Captain Bob and caught a ton of fish! He took us to several different spots and all of them hit with fish! He was engaging and funny with the entire family and kept us entertained all day. We caught so many different tyoes of fish and he taught us about them all. We really appreciated him taking the time to filet all of our fish and we cooked them up that same night! We will definitely be back and would recommend him to anyone!
Solid day on the water. We headed offshore and the conditions were perfectly calm, but it was the captain’s local knowledge that really saved the day. We spent the trip trolling for King Mackerel and doing some bottom fishing, hitting several productive spots. The variety of species we encountered was impressive. The equipment was well-maintained.If you want a productive, no-nonsense charter that actually puts you on the fish
I took my 12-year-old son on an eight hour charter with captain Robert. My son said it was the best day of our vacation! Captain Robert took time with my son to make sure he knew what was happening and how to locate fish. We caught several grouper and almost had a king fish. The boat was very nice. We would definitely do it again. Thanks, Captain Robert!

I've been fishing my entire life and began working in the charter industry at the age of 13 up until I was 18. I then worked as a boat mechanic and worked as a deckhand in between until ultimately I received my captains license and now run my own operation!
