Coastal Runners, LLC 

Captain Pablo is a well versed captain who was able to target all of the key activities our party was interested in trying. He had a knowledgable history of the bay and the surrounding keys, and he knew where to take our party for each activity based on our interests in sightseeing, lobstering, and snorkeling, he even found time for us to fish for a little bit. Our comfort was a priority as he was constantly checking in on how we were managing the less than ideal conditions out at sea and the ship included plenty of amenities for our party to enjoy while we were out there. I will be strongly recommending this charter to friends and family for when they visit south Florida.

Coming from South Dakota in a spur of the moment me and my father booked a 3 hour fishing trip with Captain Pablo. He had us on fish in about 15min. Ended up keeping an about 15lb Snapper. I got hooked up with what Pablo thought to be an about 200lb Tuna and that thing fought for nearly 25minutes! Unfortunately it broke off just before we got him to the boat, but that’s why it’s called fishing not catching. Captain Pablo also stopped at Biscayne National Park so we could see it, very cool. 100% recommend Coastal Runners LLC

We did this for my now 13 year olds birthday. Captain Pablo was patient with us as we didn’t have much experience fishing from a boat. Both my kids enjoyed the trip. I choose the 3 hour package, thinking that was plenty of time. I would recommend to choose a longer period of time, we caught fish and had a great time, but it went by a lot faster then we thought.

Took us to see Biscayne National Park, a couple fishing spots, and a quick snorkel with his equipment! Great 3 for 1 like we requested. Tough weather and fishing but he tried hard to make the best of it.

very experienced and knowledgeable captain

My dad and I are amateur anglers with little to no knowledge about how to target specific fish, but we learned so much from Captain Pablo during our trip! He is very knowledgeable about all the local fishing spots. The boat is equipped with everything you need down to a cooler full of drinks. Pablo adapts to your knowledge level and fishing experience, patiently explaining why he is using certain rigs or how to utilize the onboard fish finding equipment. His instinct for targeting fish helped us land a HUGE monster Amberjack! If you are experienced or not, Pablo will make sure that your time out there is well spent and you will learn a lot. My dad and I had a blast and you will too!

Pablo took us on a spectacular tour of biscayne bay and coached us to catch over a dozen fish. He was perfectly prepared with a cooler of ice water and several bait options. He listened carefully to our needs and more than accommodated them, including finding a fishing spot near a rookery so the birder among us could observe a variety of species happily. He took great care of our elderly mom while still providing us with an active fascinating and successful trip.

Captain Pablo was an amazing guy. We went out to a few different spots caught a fish as first time fishers and even ran across a lobster couldn’t take him home sadly but got to see and get a video up close and personal! We had an amazing time and would highly recommend anyone who wants to have a good getaway. Thanks again Captain Pablo from our family to yours!

Pablo was not only very knowledgeable about the fish we were catching, but he was very patient and helpful while teaching our 10 year old daughter. She caught the biggest catch of the day, a 12 to 14 lb yellowjack. Watching our daughter's excitement made this worth the trip. Watching Pablo's enthusiasm about my daughter's amazing catch shows his passion and love of being on the water. He truly enjoyed teaching and sharing this fishing experience with our family.

Capt. Pablo is very knowledgeable. It's been a while since I was on the water. He was very accommodating when i got green in the gills and still put me on some fish. I will be booking with him again!
