Ratings & Reviews Summary
September 7, 2024
To be candid, we were uncertain about our first fishing charter experience. Our primary goal was to enjoy quality time with family on the water, with no specific catch expectations. While searching for charters, Reef Runner Charters immediately caught our attention. Seeing pictures of families with children convinced us that this was the right choice. Captain Edward and First Mate Evan were exceptional! They guided us to prime fishing spots, delivering an unforgettable adventure. My son was ecstatic and had an incredible time. Without a doubt, we'll reach out to them when we return to the Keys! We wholeheartedly recommend them – 110% satisfaction guaranteed!

Our six-hour journey with Captain Edward and his first mate, Evan, aboard the Reef Runner was an absolute delight. We arrived at the boat 15 minutes ahead of schedule, and Edward and Evan were fully prepared for our adventure. They wasted no time setting sail, and the voyage was remarkably smooth. Navigating to deeper waters, we commenced trolling, which took a bit to yield our first catch, a common occurrence in fishing. However, Captain Edward's unwavering dedication to finding prime spots paid off as we had four hits within 30 minutes, creating an exhilarating moment with all three of us reeling in fish simultaneously.

Captain Edward and his first mate, Evan, are absolutely fantastic! Our goal was to catch some mahi-mahi, and they certainly delivered. From the moment our lines hit the water, it was nonstop action throughout the morning. Captain Edward undoubtedly ranks as the premier captain in Key West, boasting extensive knowledge of the local waters and unmatched experience. Evan, his first mate, is truly exceptional. We wholeheartedly endorse Reef Runner as the go-to fishing charter. Sincerely, Ray and Kathy from Spring Hill, Florida.

I wish I could give them more stars! Edward and Evan are truly exceptional. Our fishing experience with them was a blast, and we had great success reeling in some impressive catches. It almost felt unfair how easy they made it for us. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor stood out. They were open to trying various fishing techniques to maximize our success, all while providing valuable guidance on our best options. We had an absolute blast on the water with them, and although every day varies, we ended up as the top boat for catches that day. I wholeheartedly recommend Reef Runner for your fishing adventure.

My 67-year-old father had a bucket list dream, and finally, it came true. On that particular day, the fish weren't biting much, but Captain Edwards and Evan went above and beyond to make sure we had a shot at catching some Mahi. We ventured so far south and out that we lost sight of the Keys altogether. Evan impressively handled six rods simultaneously, and at one point, Captain Edwards even tossed one from the upper deck. Once again, a massive thanks to you guys for an incredible day. We're definitely booking with you the next time we're in the Keys. Tadej & Marjan

Their fishing expertise is truly impressive! I admire their strategic approach to angling, allowing me to learn and experience a variety of techniques on this trip. During the first half, we engaged in thrilling bottom fishing using live bait and chum to entice vibrant reef fish – an exhilarating experience! The second half of the trip is where the real challenge begins, as Captain Edward and his mate exhibit a deep passion for both fast jigging and slowpitch jigging (SPJ). Captain Edward's exceptional skills in current reading and boat positioning over wrecks were evident. While we did lose a few battles against formidable giants, likely massive groupers, despite my robust 60lb braided line, most of our catches came from the jigs. I highly recommend this charter for beginners, intermediates, and professionals alike. Just communicate your expectations honestly with the captain so that he can plan a tailored strategy for you. A special shout-out to Evan, "the mate" – best of luck in your Slow Pitch Jigging journey!
