Crawfordville has a fish with your name on it, so let Coast Runner Outfitters help you catch it! Your guide for the day is Captain Donny, offering years of local experience.

Depending on conditions, you might hook into Alligator Gar, Black Drum, Cobia, Flounder, Redfish, Scallop, Blacktip Shark, and anything else that bites. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself light tackle fishing, popping, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area. Capt. Donny also offers Flounder gigging. For the more adventurous among you, there's bowfishing.

Planning a family adventure? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. And, you can't go wrong with snacks so that nobody gets cranky on an empty belly!

You'll find yourself aboard a 23' Epic bay boat with room for 6 passengers. It has all the essentials. Capt. Donny will provide rods and reels for you, along with lures. Live bait is available, but it's good to ask about this so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so all you have to do is look forward to your trip! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain. A few items to bring include sunglasses, sunblock (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, so long as you avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Go ahead and treat yourself to a day on the water with Coast Runner Outfitters.

**typically fishing cleaning is covered in cost of trip. For special requests let us know before trip to, for an added cost and if time permitts we can arrange it**

    Toby’s birthday

    Off-Season 4hr trip on March 7, 2025 • 2 adults • 1 child

    Book a trip with Don. You will not be disappointed!! He went above and beyond to make my son have the best time for his birthday ! He even gave him a shirt and hat. He wears the hat everyday since. He was very responsive and made sure checked the best place to go to catch fish during the colder time so he would catch his first fish besides a mud skipper. He gave my son information to take with him to help better his skills. I can’t thank him enough to for making my sons day the best it could be !! 1000% recommend!

    Fishing with My Boys

    4 Hour Trip – St. Marks inshore on June 19, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Had a great time with my 2 sons on the 4hr trip. Captain Steve was great. We set up and started catching fish, we caught 23 fish. Captain Steve cleaned the fish and we meet up later to get them because there was a storm coming in. I would book another trip with him when we are back in the area.

    Great boating trip

    4hr trip afternoon St Marks on August 2, 2025 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We loved our day on the boat. We were able to catch enough fish for dinner and still have time to swim and enjoy the experience of being on a boat. We had our 6 year old with us and the captain was great with her. We would recommend this place for a great fishing experience.

    4 Hour Trip – St. Marks inshore on May 7, 2025 • 2 adults

    I only wish we had more days booked. My girlfriend didn’t think she liked fishing before our trip with captain Donny. He was able to make it fun for both of us. I have Nothing but good things to say. I can’t wait for our next trip with Coast Runner Outfitters.

    Off-Season 4hr trip on April 2, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 child

    We had a great time with Captain Donny. We were able to catch some good fish we were targeting and our 8 year old child had a blast “helping” everyone out. We 100% recommend this charter. Thanks!

Lovely day on the water
4 Hour Trip – St. Marks inshore on July 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

Captain Steve was great. We brought two boys and a teen on the boat, Steve worked alongside of our 8 year old the whole morning. He was accomodating, kind, and encouraging throughout our time. Highly recommend!
