My family and I went out on the Motanza and had the best time. The boat was spacious and great for fishing off of. The crew was knowledgeable, friendly and very experienced. We caught so many fish and went to numerous great spots. We also got to see dolphins, sea turtles and sharks. Really neat experience! I would definitely do this excursion again.

My husband, son (11), daughter (14) and I spent 2 hours with Captain Rob fishing on a beautiful day. He was knowledgeable, personable, professional and I love that we were able to get right to fishing after only 10 minutes or less after leaving the dock. My daughter was having a lot of luck, but my son was not. Captain Rob made it a priority to keep trying different spots to ensure my son at least caught a fish and was happy with his trip. In fact, he ended up catching 2 by the end of our time. I highly recommend Captain Rob and his fishing tour. We will definitely book with him again next time we are in Destin.

Apparently there is no private fireworks tour. Why would you allow Tripadvisor to display a trip that doesn't exist and accept credit card transactions for deposits? I made the reservation and later received a text to call Mobile Sports. I called them, they said they don't have this tour and apparently it's some issue with Tripadvisor. They instructed me to call TA for a refund, they didn't even have any record of me. So, their problem then becomes my problem. Not a great way to handle the situation. Luckily I was able to cancel online without having to chase someone by phone.
