When it comes to exploring the beautiful waters of Destin, Florida, there's one name that stands out among the rest – Captain Robbie of Crab Island Cruises. With his incredible passion for the ocean and years of experience, Captain Robbie has become a beloved figure in the area since joining Crab Island Cruises in 2019, leaving a trail of happy customers and unforgettable memories in his wake.
Born and raised in the nearby town of Mossy Head, Captain Robbie's connection to the waters runs deep. From an early age, he developed a love for the outdoors and the serenity that can only be found on the water. After spending his formative years in Mossy Head, he ventured out to Houston but eventually found his way back to Destin at the age of 20. It was here that his journey as a water enthusiast truly began.
Captain Robbie's first foray into the water industry was as a commercial diver, spending seven years exploring the depths of the Choctawhatchee Bay and the Destin Harbor. This experience not only honed his knowledge of the local waters but also allowed him to develop a keen sense of navigation and a deep appreciation for the diverse marine life that thrives beneath the surface.
Following his diving years, Captain Robbie embarked on a new adventure by starting a successful vending business at Crab Island, a popular spot for boating and water activities in the area. For an impressive 14 years, he catered to the needs of locals and tourists, building lasting relationships and becoming a familiar face on the island.
