100 Ton Masters Captain

What can I say…wildlife is my thing. Nothing better than watching wild animals do what they do, in their natural habitat. Therefore, any chance to take my guests and get closer to nature, is a great trip. That is to say, let’s fish, hunt or just sit and watch them be.

My favorite tour is the first one in the morning, however no matter if it’s shark fishing, dolphin hunting(with a camera) or searching for sharks’ teeth, any time will do.. although it’s the best way to start your day?

Captain Robert Breger

100 Ton Masters Captain

My Name is Captain Roby, like Roby 1 Kinobi. I am a true native to the area and have been on the water since I was in a bassinet on the oyster banks. I got my boaters license at the age of 12. I am currently living on the water in my sailboat, and have wanted to work on the water since I can remember, so I followed my dream.

Dolphins, sharks, skiing , sailing, or just cruising and enjoying the amazing natural beauty of this area I call home; doesn’t matter to me so long as I’m on the water! That is to say, whatever you want to experience on the water, I am here to help.

And remember….”Roby 1 Kinobi, your only hope!”

With over 30 years of boating experience, I enjoy spotting dolphins and other wildlife. Even with Hilton Heads beautiful sunrises, the backwater sunsets remain my favorite, however anytime on water is good with me. Above all, I love sharing these experiences with our guests. Let’s GO!

Whether you choose a Guaranteed Dolphin Tour or a Family Shark Fishing, all private tours allow you to decide where we go and what we see, the entire trip.

We will worry about when to turn back, how to keep ya’ll safe and whats the best way to have fun. To sum it up, all you need to do is tell us what you want.
