Bobby’s passion for the outdoors and travel is the driving force behind his success as a captain.

Bobby was first introduced to sailing as a kid during a family vacation to Lake Wallenpaupack and immediately took to the sport. As an adult he moved from Pennsylvania to Ohio. He found himself living on an old rock quarry, that was now a lake, and bought his first boat; a daysailer sloop that he avidly sailed in his spare time. That sparked his drive to combine sailing and his love of travel; soon finding himself sailing The Great Lakes.  During the sailing season in the midwest Robert focuses on teaching sailing, charters, and boat deliveries on The Great Lakes. He also likes to spend his free time sailing the waters of Lake Erie aboard his 29’ sloop, Christina. Robert is also an avid competitor and can often be found participating in sailing regattas around the midwest and beyond. Most recently that has turned into international competition where he crewed the vessel Lunasea for the 2019 Conch Republic Cup, an international 3 race regatta where crews compete in both the U.S. and Cuban waters.

When the midwest is out of season Robert can be found in Saint Petersburg, FL working as a charter captain and sailing instructor. He also does the occasional boat delivery on the waters around Florida and The Bahamas.

Capt. Bobby has logged more than 20,000 nm at sea.
