Coast Runner Outfitters – Tier 1
Let CRO take you on the adventure you've been dreaming of.
Our tier 1 trips take place on out beautiful 28ft Blue Wave Hybrid boat. We get you there faster so you have more time fishing.
We have other listings that are less expensive but this spacious boat allows our anglers to fish comfortably even on windy days. The cruising speed is typically around 40mph but the boat tops out closer to 60mph.
This extra speed allows us to change spots or run from thunderstorms much more comfortably than our other listings.
If you want to fill the fish box, this is the trip for you.

Gregory KriegerRepeat angler5.0VerifiedTough Conditions Still Did Great
4 Hour Trip – inshore (AM) on April 9, 2026 • 3 adults • 1 childCaptain Donny knew the conditions would be tough. He called us and discussed options and what we wanted as the weather forecast began to degrade. He had a great boat to handle the conditions and get us on fish. We wanted to catch a variety of fish. He delivered! We caught 5 different species! He was excellent with my 12 year old grandson who wanted to learn about the boat, the electronic equipment, and the various fish species. My grandson had a blast! Will definitely use Captain Donny on ou future trips!

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.
CRO runs trips out of Apalachicola, Carabelle, St Marks, Shell Point, and Lanark. These waters are known for the incredible inshore and nearshore fishing opportunities. With excellent knowledge of the area, we definitely have a trick or two up out sleves, and the only way to learn is to join us out on the water!
