Captain Bob Hamilton
It seems as if Capt. Bob Hamilton has had his sea legs from an
early age. While attending Clearwater High School in the 1960's,
he worked as a mate on numerous fishing boats. In the 70's, he
married his high school "catch" and called a houseboat and the
Clearwater Beach Marina home. Over the years, Capt. Bob has
advanced in the fishing ranks from hard-working mate to an
established commercial fisherman working full time as a sports
fishing charter captain still finding time to run hundreds of
commercial stone crab traps. Professionally he is an active
member and director of the largest fishing organization in
Florida - "The Old Salts Fishing Club". He has assisted in
organizing, developing and served as "Tournament Director" for
many of the areas largest fishing tournaments including the
Annual Loop Bill Fish Tournament, Grouper Tournaments, and King
of the Beach Tournaments. So- if you are searching for a captain

Captain Chris Hiles
Learning to fish when he was only 5-years old, Capt. Chris
Hiles remembers getting his first fishing rod to fish the local
ponds. A 25-year true native to the Tampa Bay Area, Capt. Chris
says his love of the sport has turned into a full-time career.
From fishing for snook under docks to fishing for black fin tuna
behind shrimp boats, he has targeted all species including 1-lb
trout to 500-lb shark. Since working on Clearwater Beach since
high school. Capt. Chris knows the fun sports not only in the
waters but also around town. He can tell you a good joke or a
good story (including his favorite, the true one of him

back!) After the love for his wife and new baby girl,
co-captaining the Real Deal is a dream come true. So come aboard
