Jack AI Customer Experience Snapshot

Captain Robert Lee consistently delivers exceptional fishing results, with customers catching red snapper, grouper, mangrove snapper, triggerfish, Spanish mackerel, vermillion snapper, and even sharks. His expert knowledge of Gulf waters shows as he quickly relocates when the bite slows down, often putting fish in the boat within minutes of departure. Multiple families report catching over 30 fish per trip, with Robert providing hands-on instruction, keeping lines baited, and sharing proven techniques that help novice anglers succeed immediately. Robert's patience with children stands out remarkably, as he takes time to encourage young anglers and even sends photos and videos to families afterward. Along with Brooke's seamless booking process and communication, the crew provides full-service experiences including bait preparation, fish cleaning, and restaurant recommendations for cooking the catch. Customers consistently mention Robert's southern hospitality, his attentiveness when kids feel seasick, and stops at Crab Island for refreshing swims, with many families already planning return trips.

Trip - 8-Hour Gulf of Mexico Offshore Fishing Charter on June 28, 2026

We had an absolutely wonderful day on the water with Have Fun Charters! Our family of six (including four boys ages 5–11) couldn’t have asked for a smoother or more enjoyable experience. Robert Lee and Brooke were exceptional — incredibly friendly, patient, and accommodating with our kids the entire day. The boat offered plenty of storage space, a great cooler, and plenty of room to move around comfortably. They knew exactly where to go to find the fish we were targeting and made sure we had a successful trip. We also got to see lots of amazing marine life along the way! Highly recommend Have Fun Charters for families looking for a fun, stress-free charter experience. We’ll definitely be back!

I wasn’t able to get out and go fishing but I wanted to leave a review anyways because of how these guys do business. Our captain gave us a call to let us know about bad weather and didn’t want us to have a bad experience. I just found that to be an awesome thing to do and very honest way of doing business.

We had an amazing time and caught plenty of fish! Captain Robert Lee and his crew were knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive the entire trip. They kept our lines baited and made sure we stayed on the fish — every time the bite slowed down, the Captain knew exactly where to go next. It was a fun, productive day on the water, and we couldn’t have asked for better hosts. We highly recommend Captain Robert for your next fishing trip! 😎

Robert and Brooke were amazing! My husband and I came to Destin on our honeymoon and a fishing trip had to be in the plans. Brooke reached out to us and got our trip booked. Robert knows his spots and how to get some fish out of the water. It was an amazing trip and they are some genuine good people!

I had an incredible 4-hour morning Gulf fishing trip out of Shalimar/Ft. Walton Beach with my 8-year-old grandson. At 64, I’ve been deep sea fishing for decades, but this experience stood out as one of the best. From the start, communication with Robert and Brooke was smooth and helpful—they took time to understand what we wanted and recommended the perfect trip. Everything was well-organized: clear directions, an on-time departure, and a clean, well-equipped boat. Robert, Brooke, and Daniel made the entire experience personal and enjoyable. They worked nonstop to keep us fishing, baited lines, and shared expert tips along the way. Robert was amazing with my grandson—patient, encouraging, and even sent us photos and videos afterward. We caught plenty of fish, including big snappers, grouper, and our limit of mangrove snapper, plus several more we released. When we returned, they quickly cleaned and bagged our catch. It was an outstanding trip from start to finish—professional, friendly, and truly memorable. I highly recommend this crew for anyone looking for an amazing day on the Gulf.

Robert was amazing boat/fishing captain! We had such a lovely time for my son’s 11th birthday! He took us all over, avoided storms, had lots of different bait for us to use, and answered all 1 million of our questions. Also, doesn’t break the bank!! 10/10. Will go again with Robert!

Robert and Brooke were fantastic hosts for our morning offshore charter. We had two adults and two 9-year-olds, and they made sure the boys stayed busy catching fish the entire trip. We landed a nice mangrove snapper and a solid redfish, along with several other great catches that had to be released due to size and season. When one of the boys started feeling a little seasick, they were incredibly kind and attentive, offering Gatorade, water, and patience until he felt better. After the trip, they cleaned and filleted our catch and even recommended Anglers at the pier to cook it — the meal was outstanding. We book a fishing charter every year, and this was easily one of the best experiences we’ve had. Highly recommended!
