    My son and I had a great experience with Capt. Rob. We didn't have the best weather for our trip, but Capt. Rob gave us plenty of options to put us on the fish. We will certainly book with Capt. Rob again.

    Captain Rob was excellent! Was not a good day for fishing, not good for all that day. Had stormed the night before. We still caught bass, black snapper, and a stingray. It was fun and will do it again!!! Thank you Captain Rob for a great experience! ~Tammy and birthday brother

    My fishing adventure with my Grandkids was outstanding. Thats the bottom line! But before we got out on the water my communication with the Captain Experience group, booking, follow up, unexpected changes and final directions were thorough, friendly, encouraging and professional. They gave me a great foundation to have a superior experience with Captain Rob. I can't say enough great things about his boating and fishing knowledge! This was Grandson's first time ocean fishing and Capt Rob made sure they had a wonderful experience. Capt Rob was patient and took the time to explain the how two's casting and bringing the fish to the boat for netting. He was also willing to answer any and all questions I had about ocean fishing. Sheff we returned to the dock to clean the fish my Grandson's were just as interested to watch and learn how to clean and prepare our spoils for our trip back home. The family plans on having a nice fish fry in the next couple of days. So, if you want a great experience give the Captain Experiences a call and book with Capt Rob.

    What can I say? Rob was aweessssome! We had a half day inshore and we had so much fun! I have a 10 year old boy who went with us and Rob was so kind and understanding with him. He was so informative to us all and we lit him up with questions. He never let us go without help or trying to put us on fish and we even saw dolphins Jelly fish and a shark! Rob’s the man I would go out with him again and you should too!

    Great trip- Right on time, easy to work with! Caught a handful of Spanish Mackerel on the way out, and while the fishing overall was a little slow, Steve got us on some fish and we had a blast- His deckhand was amazing and didn't stop working until he was done cleaning our fish back at the dock- Would definitely go again!~!!
