Tour Summary

Onboard the Second Generation Key West fishing charters, Captain Rob is just the fishing Captain to lead you through the waters correctly. Rob has been fishing Key West since his earliest moments as a child. He fondly recalls spending all day fishing, only to take breaks for lunch. By the age of six, he had caught his first sailfish, which his father had mounted and he still has today.

As Captain Rob got older, he would fish with his father, also a charter Captain, with intent to learn all there was to know about fishing and the waters. Captain Rob's primary goal was to fulfill his dream of becoming a charter Captain when the time was right. As soon as Captain Rob was able to take his Coast Guard exam for the Captain's license he took it and passed it on the first try.

Being a knowledgeable guide, Rob understood that having a license did not make him a good guide. In order to be sure he was able to provide his clients with the best charters, he trained under his father and learned his craft as much as possible.

In the following years, Captain Rob was in several competitions where he won, tied, or took a high placement for his ability to reel them in. To give you an idea of his achievements, Captain Rob holds the following titles:

  • 2nd Place in the light tackle Texaco Keys Classic
  • 1st Place in the light tackle Texaco Keys Classic
  • Tied for 1st Place in the Met and shared Grand Achievement Trophy (with his father)
  • 1st Place in the S.K.A. Hogsbreath Kingfish Tournament

On his hunt for the best fish in Key West, Captain Rob has guided numerous clients to more than 30 IGFA fishing records. Recently, he continues to be hard at work handling videos and television opportunities, in addition to being a full-time Key West fishing charter Captain. The goal of the videos is to work with manufacturers of tackle to endorse what is good and to further the development of new products.

Captain Rob guides clients on the Second Generation Key West fishing charters year round. This fine vessel is a 36' custom built Yellow Fin. The Second Generation is powered by 2/250 hp Yamaha Outboards that have a 200 gallon fuel capacity. A bait-well and live tank are available on board, as well as both freshwater and saltwater wash down areas. A chill tank and ice storage will ensure your fish remain fresh throughout the trip and the rod storage area will keep the boat tidy when fishing is not in session.

I have been to the Bahamas many times, but Second Generation Charters is one of my favorite trips! It includes everything that everyone should do here. As a Bahamas veteran, I can say only the best about this experience!

Thanks to the professional guides! I was a bit worried about kayaking because I had never done it before, but the instructions were great and I had such a good time!
