The boat had mechanical issues half way out to spot.  We ended up getting a history lesson on our slow speed return.  Learned about the Navy base and water structures from the first mate.  He used the time well even though we weren’t fishing.  Captain had us hooked up with a different boat upon our return to the dock.  He spent a bit of time locating an available captain during a very busy week.  These guys are top notch and cared about us.  We weren’t just a fare or a booking. We ended up on another boat with the same first mate and probably had the same experience or better.  Kudos to you guys for making this trip memorable!!  You went out of the way for us.  Thank you!!

We had a great 8 hour trip.  Captain Edward suggested we get an early start and it was an amazing suggestion.  We were able to hit a wreck and catch a few before the sun came up and the ‘cudas and sharks started eating our catches.  Then we were able to move to a different spot (first ones there) to try for Mangrove Snappers.  It was great fishing but eventually we were surrounded by other boats and the fishing slowed down substantially.  Since we were there early, we were able to take advantage of that and limit out on Snapper, catch some Bar Jacks, a couple of small grouper, and even a large nurse shark.  Once we limited out on Snapper we did some trolling and caught two Mahi Mahi, a Tuna, and a Barracuda.  We even made a run at a Marlin that the Capt spotted.  Captain Edward and his mate, Evan were awesome!!!  Great fishing and great conversation!  Both were extremely knowledgeable,  active, and helpful.  They not only helped us with the fishing but also educated us on a ton of other stuff including techniques, strategies, local restaurants, fish transportation and storage, and more.  Highly recommend!

Our family took a trip out to sea, in the early morning, with Captain Edward and Captain Tom of Reef Runner Charters.  Within 45 minutes of parking the boat my kids caught 8-12 yellowtail snapper.  We kept a few that were up in size to eat later.  After a quick move and repositioning each of my kids, ages 9 and 11, caught their own barracuda (two barracudas)!  Of course Captain Edward played a big part in making this happen.  We finished the half day with catching two mackerel and about 12 more yellowtail.  We had a feast at Dantes restaurant after our fish were cleaned and made ready for cooking.  We had an amazing time!

We had a great day fishing with Reef Runner Charters and I would recommend them for anyone considering booking a trip whilst in Key West.
It was slow going initially but the captain and first mate worked incredibly hard to find the best spots to fish and we ended up catching plenty of mahi mahi.
I looking forward to booking another trip with them in the future.

My son and I did a 6 hr morning charter. Motored out about 18 miles, within a few minutes the captain and mate put us down n the fish. 13 mahi mahis with consistent bite throughout the day. We lost a few trying to get them in, would have been closer to 20 if we did… All in all a great trip! Highly recommended. Will see them again when we are in KW.
