We had a great time! The charming personality and good looks of our captain will be remembered until infinity! I learned more about GPS this week than 15 years with my boat! Thanks to Capt. Bob we will charter with confidence!<\/p>\n

Learned a lot on this 4 day trip. Will feel more confident when hubby will decide to charter a trawler on our next vacation! Relaxing, taking our mind off of difficult issues. Doing team work! Thanks Captain Bob.<\/p>\n

We actually felt we can drive a trawler and plan to go shopping for one soon! Capt. Bob is terrific and we had a blast! Even learned a few cooking pointers, not to mention fish jokes and funny dances. What a terrific adventure!!<\/p>\n

While switching gas tanks Capt. Bob was nearly eaten by the engine! His prized shirt from Christmas was destroyed- not fun! Lobstering along the banks at Boca Chita \u2013 got 2! Ed was fondly known as \u201cCapt. Coco\u201d as he drank coco for breakfast; Susan known as \u201cSunshine\u201d we actually feel we can drive a trawler and plan to go shopping for one soon. Capt. Bob is terrific, and we have had a blast, even learned a few cooking pointers not to mention fish jokes and funky dance. What a terrific adventure!<\/p>\n

Hurricane harbor, very calm. Superbowl party at the Caribbean Club, the locals are wonderful! The food was great too! Boca Chita Key \u2013 what a fantastic place, the water was so clear and Capt. Bob fishing, swimming, and looking for lobsters right next to the sign. So many fish jokes. Bob woke up trying to think of more! Don\u2019t ask questions that might get ahead of Capt. Bob, you could get demerits. Capt Bob \u2026 we need a trawler NOW!! We loved this! Capt. Bob \u2013 you totally ROCK!<\/p>\n

We learned, we laughed, and now and then we cowered \u2013 \u201cwhat do you mean you don\u2019t know? Pay attention! You\u2019re not making efficient use of your platter! We won\u2019t soon forget our mistakes. Capt. Bob is a great teacher, albeit unconventional. The Mermaid, the scenery, the fod, cocktail hour, what a ball we had! Good job and thanks, Captain Bob!<\/p>\n

Capt. Bob\u2019s knowledge- he\u2019ll save us bucks when we come to buy a trawler. A\u00a0 great day of learning from a knowledgeable guy!<\/p>\n

Every day, every anchorage was a new experience. Capt. Bob does a nice job of filling every day with meaningful \u201cbut fun!\u201d events. All the local stops with good local food, shopping & views. Captain Bob delivered on his commitment. He made us believe that we really can have \u201cthe great life\u201d \u2013 the easy, simple way. Thanks to Capt. Bob, a year from now Judy can also say she is retired and living aboard with her mate! We think that Capt. Bob could start a whole new fashion trend with his shorts!<\/p>\n

Events to remember: Capt. Bob parting the sea and calming the waves! The walking on water trick was kind of coold too. Dinners at Capt. Bob\u2019s world famous restaurants all the way to the Keys & back. Capt. Bob, you are one of a kind \u2026 you will always be our captain! Thank you for a wonderful time! You guys are great!<\/p>\n

Boating can be as simple as it sounds \u2013 it just takes caution and common sense. And there is such a thing as the \u201cperfect storm\u201d and if you look for things long enough you will find them. We will remember mosquitoes at Boca Chita, grouper sandwiches, snorkeling on the reef, happy hour at the Marriott, topped off by a midnight swim and the longest 10 second storm of our lives. It was so exhilarating. In short, the most action packed 5 days ever \u2013 thanks Capt. Bob!<\/p>\n

As sailors, we\u2019ve learned you can \u201ckeep it simple\u201d and have a wonderful time. Following Capt. Bob\u2019s sage advice, the KISS rule, common sense and a GPS make cruising on a trawler nirvana. His knowledge and experience will be put to good use as wel sell our 31\u2019 Irwin and buy our 36\u2019 \u2013 40\u2019 trawler. Thanks Capt. Bob for a great 4 days.<\/p>\n

Swimming! Greek restaurant! Dolphins singing Happy Birthday! Capt. Bob\u2019s birthday cake with candle! Sunset! Waking up! Receiving certificate! Wow, such fun, learned a lot \u2026 we even know what boat is our next step \u2026 Capt. Bob, what can we say? Great cook, unorthodox but perfect teacher, funny & fun. Thank you for a great & true adventure!<\/p>\n

Perfect in every way except Thursday (rain). The wittiness of Capt. Bob always a laugh. We learned a lot from him. The salads and dinner were delicious. First night the beautiful lightning off Miami, and everything along the way, coming and going. Bob gives real good advice and suggestions regarding Trawlers. It\u2019s good to talk to someone who knows his business.<\/p>\n

Capt. Bob is unconventional and somewhat unorthodox, cuts out the fluff and gets right to the meat of things. \u201cBad to the bone.\u201d Great advice on buying a boat to suit our needs and selling our boat.<\/p>\n

Capt. Bob, wow, what can we say? A pirate, a cook, the master of ceremonies, a runner, a renegade, a financial advisor, a caring man, but above all- a captain extraordinaire!!!<\/p>\n
Regarding the Trawler School Charters classes- they were presented in a simplistic, yet complete manner. The information about trawlers or trawlering will set us up to now feel confident to choose and commandeer our own trawler. Capt. Bob was informed about all types of trawlers and when we told him the boat we were looking at- he saved us $50 \u2013 60,000 when we negotiate. Oh and lest I forget a new record on the Miami Mermaid, 7 bottles of wine in 1 evening.<\/p>\n

Captain Bob is a no nonsense instructor intent on teaching us what we need to know, and in the simplest manner. How to operate, maintain, and purchase a trawler.<\/p>\n
His demeanor is that of a high seas pirate and we told him so, he seemed surprised that we had discovered something , and then he revealed the most wonderous, fascinating adventure from his past. I\u2019ll let him tell his future charter clients or maybe he\u2019ll just wait for you to notice you\u2019re with a pirate. Capt. Bob promised to teach us everything about trawlers and he did that. Thank you Capt. Bob, we got our money\u2019s worth. The food alone may have been worth it or maybe our favorite anchorage, No Name Harbor. We\u2019ll cherish our memories of Pirate Bob and our high seas adventure. God Bless!<\/p>\n

Capt. Bob, thank you for taking some of my fear of the water away. You have been very sensitive to our needs. You have been very sensitive to our needs. Your variety of dinner with the touch of candles every night added a lot to the ambiance. Your laughs made us feel at home. Figure 8 I will never forget, and your eagerness to teach us everything you can made you a very special man. What else can I say? Great dancer, great chef, very clean, funny, and real human being. I\u2019ll miss the bag lady, so sure of herself. You made Leah smile and enjoy herself \u2013 wow!<\/p>\n

The most important thing I (Betty) learned \u201cWe\u2019ve gotta have a cabin boy!\u201d Doug: \u201cSacrifice, sacrifice, sacrifice.\u201d Time spent on the water is not deducted from one\u2019s lifespan.<\/p>\n

What a hoot! We actually learned something (a lot) and enjoyed every moment. Even changing oil was fun (as fun as that can be). Thanks to the great Galley Wench\/Cabin Boy\/Capt. Bob now we know we are not crazy for wanting a trawler and we really did learn a lot from you.<\/p>\n

We are trying to decide whether to become \u201ctrawlers\u201d so this was a great help. Under Capt. Bob\u2019s guidance we feel confident to now charter a trawler. Keeping it simple \u2013 we learned a tremendous amount.<\/p>\n
