Just had an OUTSTANDING 4 hour morning Gulf fishing trip out of Shalimar/Ft Walton Beach. I’m 64, and I was taking my 8 year old grandson on his first ever fishing trip. I was a little concerned about that being in the Gulf. I’ve been “deep sea” fishing many times since I was my grandson’s age — many different ways. I’ve tried party boats, private boats with friends and relatives, and chartering boats for small family groups. But, I don’t think I could have asked for a better trip — especially for my grandson’s first experience fishing. Working through the FishingBooker app was easy. I was fortunate to choose these folks and this trip. The communication with Robert and Brooke was excellent from the beginning — including an initial discussion of my situation and getting Robert’s recommendation on the best trip for us. I received all the info, directions, etc we needed. They were on time and prepared. The boat was well equipped. In over 55 years of going on various trips, many very nice, this was the most enjoyable experience I’ve had. Robert, Brooke, and Daniel were friendly and worked hard the entire trip to make things go smoothly. This was a 4 hour Gulf trip, but we spent more time actually fishing than I ever have on any other “half day” trip, or even on most full day trips. We caught plenty of fish, including several pretty big snappers, a few grouper, our limit of mango snappers, and a number of various fish that were out of season or outside size limits (just what you’d expect in the Gulf). I had anticipated “overseeing” my grandson, but Robert took him under his wing and worked with him wherever we dropped our lines. Robert even took some pictures and videos while working with my grandson which he sent me after the trip. Very thoughtful. Brooke worked with me keeping bait on and giving advice and recommendations. I just haven’t gotten that level of friendly “close support” before. When we got back, Robert and Daniel quickly cleaned and bagged our fish while Brooke prepped the boat for their next group leaving right away for an afternoon trip. My grandson thoroughly enjoyed himself. So did I, but this was really for him. I was entirely pleased. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend Robert, Brooke, and Daniel. Great job!

We booked the 4 hour trip to let my young kids get a taste of ocean fishing. Prior to the trip, communication with Brooke was fast and helpful. Morning of the trip, everything was on time. We stopped and let the kids catch some bait fish, before heading out to deeper water. They had a lotnofnfun catching cigar minnows, sometimes 5 at a time. Once we moved out to deeper waters Robert and George took good care of us and were great with my kids. We caught fish and had a great time. Both kids said they wanted to go again. I recommend booking with Have Fun and Robert.

Robert and Brooke were great hosts. We had two adults and two 9 yo kids and they made sure the boys were catching fish all day. We went off shore for a morning charter and were able to pull in a good size mangrove snapper and red fish. Had some other good sized catches but were unable to keep them due to size and season. One of the boys got a little sea sick and they were very accommodating. They made sure we had plenty of Gatorade and water and took care of cleaning and filleting our catch when finished. They recommended Anglers at the pier for our cook and catch and needless to say our dinner was excellent. We charter each year we come to the beach and this was one of the best experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended.

We had a great time and caught lots of fish! Captain Robert Lee and his crew were very knowledgeable and very attentive, they always made sure our hooks were baited, and if the right fish weren’t biting the Captain knew right where to move to put us on the fish again. We highly recommend Captain Robert for your next fishing adventure!! 😎

Crew was very helpful and smart they know their fish and where to go. We had a blast and catching fish as soon as lures hit the water. At very end was like a grand finale when we got some sharks in the line and got some pictures of sharks but the ended up breaking the line but was awesome. They cleaned our fish and bagged it for us also.
