Welcome to Florida Outdoor Tours in Boca Grande, FL!
with Captain Robert McCue
Back in the day, a captain’s license was earned, most often by tutoring one on one, not “bought” outright as it is virtually today. He holds not just a federal license to take up to 6 people fishing, but a Master’s Near Coastal 100 Ton shipping license. While always learning, he knew his fishing before he started taking people for money ( in other words- he did not start guiding to get others to pay for a boat and learn to fish). He was the first Florida fishing guide to have Internet presence and a website in 1996. Primarily his business is composed of a well-established client list, with several of those clients having fished with him for as long as 30 years. Like hiring any professional, he believes that hiring a Florida fishing guide should not be based on advertising alone.
While Capt. McCue’s professional career is extraordinary, he refers to himself as just a “fisherman” and an “outdoorsman”. His passion is sharing his life’s experience outdoors with people from all walks of life, to all who enjoy the outdoors and the water. This would include not only experts, but novices, families and children. Captain McCue enjoys encounters with all wildlife, touring the estuaries, witnessing sunrises, sunsets, finding remote or private locations to enjoy the outdoors whether that be private beaches, mangrove lined creeks, barrier island “hopping”, shelling, and swimming/snorkeling.
