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.

What To Expect
Watch dolphins play in their natural habitat! These mammals are regularly spotted swimming around our local waters. Depending on season, you might even see manatees, rays & a variety seabirds. There will be a lot to see...beautiful homes, wildlife preserves & the occasional sandbar party. Experience life like a local! I will design your trip around what you want to do or see. There are several wildlife preserves nearby where you can snorkel, swim or collect shells on the beach. Our islands are covered in white sand, beautiful shells & sand dollars. You will have the opportunity to hop off the boat and explore. Take in the unique beauty that this area has to offer. This area averages 361 days of sunshine each year, earning it the nickname of “The Sunshine City.” With all of those sunny days comes amazing sunsets, and there is nowhere better to watch our famous sunsets than floating in the very water the sun sinks into. Book with us later in the afternoon and enjoy our beautiful waterways as we cruise through one of our historic passes & out to the Gulf of Mexico to watch the sunset. If weather permits we cruise the beach taking in the cotton candy afterglow.

5.005 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

5.00Capt 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!

5.00My 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!!

5.00Capt 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!
