Blue Runner II INC.
Captains Tommy and Donald are some of the most experienced captains in the fleet with many decades of experience under their belt, they can help you reel in the catch you’ve always dreamed of. There’s no bad time to be fishing around here, so come on down and have some fun!
The Blue Runner II is a 42’ ChrisCraft sport fisher, and as you can see from the photos, she’s a beauty. She’s powered by a pair of 485 HP Detroit Diesel engines and has plenty of room aboard for up to six prospective anglers. Inside you’ll find a spacious and air-conditioned cabin where you can take a break and catch your breath whenever you want to.
The captains offer a variety of fishing packages to satisfy all your fishing needs and desires. Offshore trips are his specialty, and it’s here that you can find a number of different species to hook up. If you’re looking to put something in the freezer, you can bottom fish for Red and Vermilion Snapper, Triggerfish, and Gag Grouper. If you’re more interested in proper sportfishing, you can go after Sailfish, Kingfish, Amberjack, and many more.
Any given trip will include rods, reels, and terminal tackle in the price, along with the required fishing licenses. 20% gratuity for the first mate is very much appreciated, and he will clean and fillet the catch after the trip for your convenience. Pack some drinks or snacks, bring a pair of polarized sunglasses, and you’re ready to make your fishing dreams come true.
Please note: We try to catch live bait at the start of the trip or the Customer can opt to buy bait at his expense if available. This purchase is not covered in the price of the trip.

3/4 Day Trip – High Season on June 5, 2024
We caught our first red snapper immediately after reaching the fishing hole. We caught our limit on red snapper and a variety of other fish including grouper and triggerfish (including a Queen triggerfish). Tommy and Don were great and really worked hard to keep us on the fish and bait in the water. This was a group of 4 adults that had never done this type of fishing. The boat was very clean and had an air conditioned cabin and a restroom. Bring some cash for the bait boat. The fish were filleted quickly by Don when got back to the dock. When we hit our limit on snapper we switched to trolling to maximize our time on the water and let us try something different. These guys have decades of experience! We could not have ask for a better trip!!!

3/4 Day Trip on May 22, 2024
My family and I have been fishing Destin for about 8 years now. I booked with Tommy for the first time. All I can say is he and Donnie the first mate did a fantastic job of making this the best day ever. We only had four of us fishing and we caught enough fish to feed our group of thirty people at our house. This is not to mention the fish we had to throw back and they were some good size fish. Donnie did the best and very professional job of making sure we had bait on our hooks the whole time, changing out the poles depending on what we were fishing for and also making sure we were fishing correctly to ensure we were bring the fish in. The boat was an added highlight. The cabin was furnished with AC, comfortable chairs and plenty of space to relax on the ride back. it was also equipped with an observation deck that you could sit and visit with the captain. This is a must trip if you have a small group and you want to have a great experience on the water. Thanks to Tommy and Donnie of taking care of my family it is much appreciated.

3/4 Day Trip on December 23, 2024
One of the best charters I've ever done! Took my son and son-in-law on this trip. Even catching bait fish was a blast. We had great weather, hospitality and the expertise of Capt. Tommy & Don. Good fortune got us a limit of Snapper & Trigger fish. Also, hauled in some monster Amber Jack just for fun! Highly recommend this trip for anyone...beginner to experienced.

Half Day Trip (AM) on May 29, 2024
Captain Tommy and his mate Don were awesome, caught a 400+ pound bull shark and broke another one off that was probably bigger, lost a monster cobia because it got tangled up in the shark line, had my 20 & 8 year old son’s with me and they had a blast. First class operation with first class dudes, money well spent for the memories made today
