Captain Rob really put us on a crazy Sheepshead bite! Multiple 17+” Sheepshead caught on our day out with Captain Rob. He is an amazing captain and fishing guide who clearly has tons of boating experiencing making you feel safe while out on his boat. Incredible hospitality as he made sure to go the extra step for us to make sure our giant sheepshead were landed safe and secure. Will definitely be booking another trip with him to go get some other species of fish as his vast knowledge of the Everglades was truly amazing and his guiding experience let’s you know he’s definitely going to put you on a hot bite! If you want to fish the Everglades and need a guide there’s no better than Rob Forte!
Rob, the owner and operator of Runnin' The Flats was an excellent guide and host for our booking of a estuary and gulf tour on his motorboat. He grew up in Naples and the Everglades and boy does he know the water. You can book Rob for all sorts of tours and we booked him for a naturalist view of two ecologies in the Everglades. Once we were on the Gulf in Ten Thousand Islands preserve some bottlenose dolphins stopped by to say hi to our boat and we were able to watch them play around us to our hearts content. We also saw manatees and a rosette spoonbill on our trip. Rob took us to a spot with live oaks where black bears have been hanging out but none were there that morning. That would have been 4 of the Big 5 animals to see in the Everglades. We also got to see alligators.
Rob also pointed out fishing spots he likes and you can book Rob as a fishing guide.
Book with Rob with confidence. If it's on a boat I bet he can hook you up.
Captain Rob was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating! Our Eco-Tour was fantastic; dolphins, manatee, alligators, shelling, Cape Romano, native birds and much more, a vacation to remember! The Ultimate Adventure!!!
Captain Rob!!! Thank you thank you! If you want to go fishing this is the guy to call. We took day trip fishing and then booked a sunset trip. Amazing!!!
Four of us had an awesome day out on the water with Capt. Rob. He is super knowledgeable about the wildlife native to the area and set us up perfectly to catch a variety of fish - even a few sharks! Highly recommend spending a full day to get the most of Rob's expertise.
Captain Rob gave us a fantastic eco-tour with just an hour’s notice. We saw manatee, alligator, dolphins,TWO bald eagles and uncountable birds of all kinds. He is knowledgeable,skilled with the boat, and easy to talk to. His love for the Everglades is obvious. Highly recommend.
