Captain Rob Hansill is a Florida native and U.S. Marine (retired). He is the father of two sons and lives in Niceville with his wife of 25 years. Rob holds a Masters endorsement on his Merchant Mariner Credential, Title 46 U.S. Code, and is certified by The United States Coast Guard National Maritime Center. Captain Rob’s passion is to help people find their joy and manage grief. One day on the water can break a cycle of sadness. Families touched by tragedy, cancer-survivors, and combat veterans have priority. Purple Heart recipients and Wounded Warriors fish for free (Please call ahead for coordination). All are welcome for a day “at EASE”.
Access is available from Fort Walton Beach, Niceville, and Destin, FL. Captain Rob can accommodate up to four anglers. Each trip is customized to the angler’s ability and desired experience. Anglers will target Redfish, Jack Crevalle, Mangrove Snapper, Black Drum, Flounder, Trout, and many more. Each angler will use the best Penn equipment and live baits. Anglers enjoy a smooth ride, comfortable seating, shade, and a private head (toilet). Launched in 2024, “Dress Blues” is a pristine 25’ center-console built by Dorado and powered by Mercury 300 ProXs. She is the perfect vessel for families with children, first-time anglers, as well as hard-core fishermen. Fishing license, equipment, and bait are included. Guests only need to bring drinks and snacks. EXCLUSIVE: Memory Maker trips are short-runs for quick-catches within minutes of the dock. First-time anglers and young ones may not be up for a full day on the water. This trip is designed for your young family with school-age children that want a piece of Destin Fishing.
