All around Fantastic time. Captain Rob was great, we will definitely be going out with him again. Definitely made some long lasting memories with my Father, brother and daughter's boyfriend.

Josh, Mr. Larry, Bart, and Mason came down from Iowa/Illinois to fish with me in Destin. Great bunch of men. We moved the trip up a day to beat the weather. Everyone stretched a line and made some memories. A fantastic way to start off the new year. The Cramer family is always welcome aboard Dress Blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob

This trip completely exceeded all our expectations! While searching for a fishing charter in Destin, we narrowed the search for trips available the days we were traveling and staying in Fort Walton. L4K Charter popped up as an option. We almost passed on it as it’s docked in Niceville, but don’t pass it up. So worth the drive from Destin/Fort Walton Beach area. Because it was available the day we needed and was highly rated, we booked without much more investigation. Captain Rob reached out the next morning after booking to send information about the charter and also messaged the day before we fished. There are things you hope for on a fishing trip: comfortable boat, safe guide, and hope you get some bites and maybe get something big enough to brag about in the future. Then there are the things you didn’t even think you needed: a patient and compassionate person who doesn’t judge if you can’t cast accurately or far enough who knows exactly where to go to be on the fish and keep the fishing going with lapses. I don’t know how much bait we went through, but I have always booked fishing trips knowing it was more for my husband than myself, but I truly had a wonderful time! After our trip, I went onto L4K’s website (we didn’t realize he had one before our trip). He’s a Marine veteran giving back to veterans who need it in a beautiful way. Captain Robs motto is “No coincidences, making memories.” His interactions with strangers is genuine and we feel honored we got to spend a few hours with him on his beautiful boat.

This is one of the sweetest couples I've ever fished with. Jason and Lee came down from Castle Rock, CO. She's an Army veteran and now works for the VA--taking care of the men and women who make our country safe, proud, and secure. We had wonderful conversations while catching redfish, snappers, and groupers. November is a fantastic time to visit Destin and go fishing. I look forward to more adventures with Jason and Lee. The Kornmueller family is always welcome aboard Dress Blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob

Captain Rob knew exactly where to find the fish and give me and my boys a great experience. They have not stopped talking about how much fun they had and are hooked on fishing now. He baited the hooks for them, cast them, and safely removed the fish for them when caught. The boat was extremely clean and well kept up. Safety was a priority for the captain. Great trip!

Matt, Logan and, Liam are from Charlotte. Logan and Liam are the best brothers I’ve ever had on this boat. As soon as Liam would catch something, Logan would put his rod down and help him and encourage him on what to do. Incredible!!! They both rode back in the tower and said that was the best part of the fishing trip. We caught redfish and snappers one after another after another. It was an epic July bite. The Kmec family is always welcome aboard Dress Blues. Semper Fi, Captain Rob
