Captain
Derin Roberson

Member since March 2022 Gulf Breeze, United States
Background
Capt. Derin can take you to secret sweet spots as well as help you reel in big ones! There are no species on which he doesn't hold some knowledge. When he was 20, Capt. Derin got his captain’s license and established Whipper Snapper Charters. Coming from a family of avid Florida anglers, he acquired a big part of his fishing and boating knowledge naturally. He has a vast knowledge of the various species in The Gulf due to his lifelong fishing in the Emerald Coast's waters since he was a little whippersnapper. During his high school years, the captain worked on most weekends and summers as a deckhand out of both Destin and Pensacola. Capt. Derin is excellent with youngsters and can ensure they will have an exciting and educational time on board. Don’t hesitate about bringing your young anglers on your trip!
