Why Choose Captain RR Excursions
EXPERIENCED CAPTAIN... because it matters!!!
A little History....
I’ve been fishing the waters of Florida since I was 10 years old and that early passion for the ocean and nature has shaped my life ever since. I moved to this area 21 years ago, drawn by the lifestyle, the salt air, and the incredible fishing and exploration opportunities this region offers. Today, as the owner and operator of Captain RR Excursions, I bring decades of experience on the water to every trip. I hold a U.S. Coast Guard 100-Ton Master License with multiple certifications (See below) ensuring that every outing is as safe as it is unforgettable. Whether we’re cruising the Suwannee River, scalloping in season on the Gulf or chasing inshore fish I’m here to share not just the trip—but the experience, the knowledge and the love of the water that started when I was just a kid.
