"Booked a 6 hour trip, It was great! My 9 year will be telling his fishing tales for years to come! Thank you for making the trip a success and being so great with my son!" - Christy O.
"We booked with Captain Donny the week of July 4th. We were grateful he was able to squeeze us in with it being such a busy time of year along the coast. He was very responsive, reaching out to us several times before the trip. He was willing to move to different spots on the charter to make sure we had the best chance to catch what we wanted. He was personable and patient, and his first mate was top notch! We kept 16 fish - black sea bass, grunt, and porgy. He also showed us toad fish, remora fish, cannonball jellies, and dolphins - so neat!!! It was a beautiful morning on the gulf and made for a delicious dinner that evening! We will definitely reach back out to Captain Donnie next time we are in the area!" - Cameron W.
"I have been fishing,hunting,and gigging with Capt.Donny. I can't say anything negative about this guy. Every trip I've been on with him has been a great experience. Whayever species we were after Donny gets just as excited as a myself. Very cool that he's gets into it as much as the people he's taking out. He also helps out and takes care of the license process and makes the trip even more enjoyable. If ever in northern Florida I would look up Coast Runner Outfitters. No doubt I will be getting with him again this year." - Ryan P.
