Knowledgeable and fun instructor
Rob is the real deal. He taught me advanced trim techniques and docking in tight spots. Best captain in Naples, period.

Solid boating instruction overall
Rob knows his stuff. Docking practice was great. Just wish we could have spent a little more time out in the open water.

Very rude and dismissive
Did not appreciate the attitude during the lesson. When I asked questions, he seemed annoyed. Definitely will find someone else next time.

Everything a new boater needs
Rob made me feel totally comfortable behind the wheel. I went from being scared to drive to docking like a pro in one afternoon.

Highly skilled professional instructor
If you need to master your vessel, call Rob. He focuses on real-world situations rather than just textbook stuff. Phenomenal instructor.

Good local boating teacher
Learned a lot about tide patterns and safety protocols. Rob is a character and makes the time fly by. Would use him again.

Total waste of my time
He showed up an hour late and spent most of the session on his phone. Very unprofessional and I didn't learn a single thing during our time out.

Decent but pricey for length
The lesson was informative but it felt a bit rushed. I was hoping for a bit more hands-on time with the navigation systems.

Excellent guidance on the water
I feel much safer now. Rob corrected my bad habits and showed me the right way to handle the wake in the canals.

Best instructor in Naples area
Captain Rob made learning to handle my center console a breeze. He is super patient and knows these waters like the back of his hand. Highly recommend his lessons.
