There are also two live wells loaded with fresh bait to make sure you're fully equipped for your trip.
Captain Robert's charters will take you to some of the best fishing spots in the Jacksonville area. You'll explore the Intracoastal waters and jetties, as well as hard bottom wrecks and ledges where the fish are abundant. The area is home to a wide variety of species, and you can expect to catch Tarpon, Barracuda, Wahoo, and Amberjack, among others. On longer trips, you might also reel in Red Snapper, Mahi Mahi, Jack Crevalle, and King Mackerel.
All the equipment you need for your trip will be provided, including rods, reels, and tackle. And at the end of the day, Captain Robert will carefully clean and fillet your catch so you can enjoy a delicious meal when you return home.

Ratings & Reviews Summary

The weather was perfect, and Captain Rob took us out for a day of snapper fishing. As soon as we dropped the hooks, my wife landed a big snapper right away. Huge thanks to Captain Rob, who arrived at 2:30 a.m. to ensure the boat had a spot and was ready to go. We happened to pick a day when snapper could be kept, so it was busy as soon as we arrived. We had an amazing time fishing and caught some beautiful fish! Big thanks to Captain Rob—I'll definitely be back!

Great charter! Captain has decades of experience and it shows. Beautiful morning and had us on the fish in no time. Thankful to Captain Robert for giving my girlfriend a great first offshore fishing experience and cannot recommend him enough.

Captain Robbie was incredibly knowledgeable and got us on the fish right away. We caught multiple species and even limited out on a few. We had a fantastic day and highly recommend Captain Robbie to anyone looking to catch plenty of fish!

We had an incredible time on this charter. Captain Robert got us on fish quickly and made sure everyone on the boat had a chance to catch one, while also teaching us a lot throughout the trip. He's a great guy to fish with, and we’ll definitely fish with him again!

This was a significant vacation for us since it was to commemorate my son's 18th birthday, and we wanted to give him an experience to remember. Unfortunately, the fish gods were not on our side, and we spent the majority of our time admiring the landscape because nothing was biting. Captain Rob, on the other hand, was fantastic; he kept moving us around in an attempt to hook us up with some fish. He was really pleasant, and we had a great time out on the water. Fingers crossed that the next excursion we have with him, the fish will bite better!

I had a great time and would go again if I were in town. The skipper was kind, and the boat was clean and comfy.
