Highly recommend the family fun combo trip with Captain Robert. Beautiful boat and nice gear. We had a really fun day and caught variety of fish…snappers, triggers, ember jacks, and more. The dolphin watching was superb and even got a little time to swim at crab island! Captain Robert was knowledgeable, helpful and fun and felt like family by the end of the day. Even recommended a nice restaurant in the harbor that cooked up our keepers for a memorable experience. We will definitely book with him again the next time we’re in Destin!

Our family of four (we have daughters 15 and 10 yo) did a combo tour with Captain Robert last week and it was great! We did inlet fishing, dolphin watching and Crab Island. It was a little rough on the water but a beautiful sunny day. When we got to Crab Island, we decided 67 was a tad chilly to swim, so we did more fishing but instead of trolling, Captain Robert taught the girls how to fish with live bait and cast a reel. He was patient and funny. All four of us had a great time. Highly recommend!

This is not your average fishing tour. Thank you Captain Robert for making our dolphin and fishing wonderful experience. We caught 15 fish, but all out of season. I would highly recommend Flowing Waters! It was a bucket list experience for me. Captain Robert is so much fun! The boat was clean and the fishing equipment was exceptional!
