Born and raised on the Gulf, Captain Robert runs a no-frills, high-performance operation. His 24-foot Scout Bay boat, powered by a 200-horsepower Yamaha engine, reaches inshore flats and offshore ledges with ease. The vessel is fully outfitted with quality rods, reels, safety gear, and everything you need for a smooth, productive trip. From redfish and speckled trout to red snapper, gag grouper, mahi, sea bass, mango snapper, king mackerel, and amberjack, the Gulf of America’s prized species are always within reach.

Trips range from half-day and 3⁄4-day fishing charters to family-friendly scalloping adventures, where guests can dive for shellfish in shallow waters. Whether you’re reeling in your first catch or chasing a trophy offshore, Captain Robert tailors each trip to your goals and experience level. He’s known for teaching with patience and skill, often using artificial lures and helping guests understand how to read the water, feel for bites, and land fish with confidence.

Captain Robert’s calm demeanor, deep local roots, and passion for sharing the outdoors make him one of the most respected guides on Florida’s Gulf Coast. Every charter includes licenses, bait, tackle, ice, water, fuel, and fish cleaning.
