Description

My name is Captain Bobby Burnett. I am a sixth generation Floridian. About 10 years ago I started a fishing charter business and I have never looked back. I run a fishing charter almost every morning. Fishing can get a little slow in the afternoon and busy on the weekends, so I decided to put my boat to use in other ways. I have expanded the business and now offer excursions tailored to your family. My father and youngest brother are also experienced Captains in the area and have joined in on the fun. Regardless of your captain, you will get years of experience and local knowledge. We wanted to offer something for everyone to show you what our life here on the Gulf Coast is all about.

6/5 stars

5 stars wouldn’t be enough to describe how awesome this trip was! Capt Bobby is awesome! We booked as a private excursions just my husband and I on Valentine’s Day and it was incredible! Capt Bobby was kind and talkative, but not so talkative that we didn’t enjoy alone time. He answered our questions and totally accomplished everything we suggested we might like to do and then some! He even got dolphins to jump the wake of the boat right behind us! You can tell he loves what he does and just wants others to experience it too! Everyone needs to book this trip! Seriously. Stop reading reviews and just book with Bobby!

Great family excursion

Great time with Captain Bobbie. He was very accommodating to our interests., We searched for Manatees, saw a few dolphins, went shelling on an island and spent time boating on the water with great views of the shoreline .

Great day on the water !

Private boat tour customized to our wishes - Capt. Bobby was great ! We wanted some island beach and shelling time, some birding opportunities and maybe see some dolphins. We did all that and more in our 3 hour tour.

Don't hesitate to book- great trip!!

Family of 5 from 8 years old to 65 years old and we all had a fantastic time! Captain Bobby was so knowledgeable about the area and so nice! We loved seeing the area with an experienced local! We toured the islands, saw a lot of wildlife and he took us cruising for dolphins. We will absolutely book again!

Great family experience. Captain Bobby was an excellent Captain and guide. We shelled and saw so many dolphins. We learned how to fish and saw dozens of fish. Thank for three fun filled hours.

Capt Bobby was amazing- he was so patient and kind with our kids. My kiddos reeled in a shark, a mackerel and a bunch of trout- all within 30 mins of fishing with him. He tailored the trip to fit all our needs- will book again and highly recommend!

10 out of 10

My daughter and I had the best time. It was exactly what we were wanting. Our captain made sure we were compfortable and catered the day around things we wanted. We saw very close ups of dolphins and manatee, even saw a couple sting rays jump out of the water. My daughter is obsessed with sharks and we even saw a baby shark !! Our captain was super cool and layed bk, which is what we were lookin for! Definitely worth the price for sure!! We will see yall again on our next trip!!

Go see dolphins with cpt bobby!

Capt bobby"s tour was absoluely fabulous. He took us out on his boot for a tour to watch dolphins and so we did. We also saw a stingray and we went to an island for a swim. It was a verry pleasurable morning and cpt bobby went out of his way to make the dolphins jump the waves of his boat. Unfortunately no manatees, and the fish wouldn't bite, but that could not taken away the pleasure. I can recommend it to everybody!
