Our trip with Robbie was a great experience. We enjoyed the trip and caught lots of fish. His deckhand Austin was awesome he worked with our kids and showed them lots of things about fishing and let them handle the tackle and fish. Was a great learning experience. Would recommend both Captain Boat and Crew.
