Join Captain Tommy Carter and Blue Runner II Inc for a fishing adventure in one of the hottest fishing locations in Florida, Destin. With several decades of experience under his belt, Captain Tommy 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 sportfisher, 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.

Captain Tommy offers 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.
