Ratings & Reviews Summary
May 28, 2025
We had an amazing day on the water with Captain Robert! He’s professional, friendly, and made everyone feel right at home—including our younger kids and a couple of us who were new to fishing. He was incredibly patient and took the time to make sure we were all comfortable and catching fish. One of the highlights was how flexible he was—he even slowed down so we could watch a pod of dolphins on the way to our fishing spot. Captain Robert is not only a skilled angler but also puts safety first and knows these waters inside and out. We’ll definitely be booking with him again next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend!

We had an awesome day on the water with Captain Robert, landing an Inshore Slam—snook, redfish, trout, and even a bonus fluke! From the very start, he was professional and accommodating, confirming all the details before our trip and making sure we were comfortable with both the boat and the fishing setup. As experienced boaters and anglers, we appreciated how attentive he was to the weather, tides, and our target species. Captain Robert had multiple rigs ready so we never missed a beat. We caught over a dozen fish and four different species, but even without the bites, his knowledge and friendly personality would have made it a great outing. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quality inshore fishing trip!

I’ve been on plenty of fishing trips, but the day we spent with Captain Rob was easily one of the best. My girlfriend and I made a quick day trip from Orlando to Tampa, and even though we arrived about 30 minutes late, Captain Rob was incredibly accommodating and still gave us the full four-hour experience—something he didn’t have to do, but we truly appreciated. Captain Rob’s knowledge and instincts on the water were top-notch. He knew exactly where to start, when to move, and kept the action going by chumming the water and guiding us to scenic, less-traveled fishing spots. We caught over 10 snook, along with a mix of redfish, trout, catfish, and more. He’s not only a skilled captain but also a genuinely friendly guy whose passion for fishing shines through in every part of the trip. This was hands down one of the most memorable fishing experiences I’ve had. 10/10 would recommend—thanks again, Captain Rob! – Josh & Karine

Captain Rob went above and beyond—couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Communication before the trip was excellent, and he was incredibly accommodating to some special needs we had. Most importantly, he put us on multiple species of fish and made sure we had a fun, productive day on the water. He even topped it off with a great local dinner recommendation, which made the entire experience even more memorable. We’re already looking forward to booking another trip with Captain Rob in the future!

I can’t say enough great things about Captain Robert! My son and I had never fished in Florida waters before, but he put us right on redfish and snook. Beyond helping us catch fish, he was incredibly friendly, approachable, and made the entire trip feel relaxed and enjoyable. Next time we’re in town, there’s no question—we’ll be booking with Captain Robert again. We wouldn’t fish with anyone else!
