Blue Runner II INC. 

We just finished another fantastic six-hour fishing trip with Blue Runner #2 out of Destin, and it was another winner! This is our repeat charter because they consistently deliver an amazing experience for our family of six. The crew is outstanding — professional, patient, and genuinely nice people who make everyone feel welcome and cared for. They have that perfect mix of expertise and warmth that keeps the day fun and relaxed. The kids loved the hands-on help with rigging and landing fish, while the adults appreciated the skilled guidance and great banter. Safety was always top priority, and they went out of their way to make sure everyone had a blast. We caught a ton of fish again — non-stop action and solid limits that made the cooler heavy on the way back to the dock. The captain put us on the fish every time, and the crew’s knowledge of the Destin waters is second to none. If you’re looking for a reliable, family-friendly six-hour (or longer) deep-sea fishing adventure out of Destin, book Blue Runner #2 without hesitation. They’ve become our favorite charter for a reason — great boat, incredible crew, and memories we keep coming back for. Highly recommended! 🎣⚓️ Can’t wait for our next trip! Thank you, Blue Runner team!

honestly i picked the boat for the cabin, knowing it was going to be a chilly day and we would want to be inside for the trip out and back. it was comfortable with a couch and chairs, and clean. Captain Tommy found the fish despite the sea temps, and first mate Jason was friendly, and mire importantly, kept our bait on and lines in. we caught a bountiful dinner plus a lot we had to release due to february restrictions, but what a great sunny afternoon on a calm sea. a dolphin joined us on the way out for an added bonus. dress for the day and no reason not to enjoy winter fishing.

My, my wife, son, daughter, and another friend went out on an 6am 8hr trip on the Blue Runner II, with Captain Tommy Carter, with his First Mate Jason. We caught a lot of Vermillion Snapper and some big North American Red Snapper, and one Grey Snapper. We also caught a lot of Grey Triggerfish which unfortunately were not yet in season. Captain Carter asked me what our goal was, and I told him we wanted to catch a bunch of fish, and he came through. He let us know that we would troll all the way out and all the way back, but that they had been seeing very little trolling strikes for a couple of weeks, but the bottom fishing had been very good. We've since had Vermillion Snapper tacos that would make your tongue slap the back of your head. The cabin was comfortable and spacious for all of us, well equipped, with good A/C.

I had a great trip with my three sons. Captain Tommy knows how to find the fish. And his mate Oz knows how to catch them. They are extremely kind and accomodating and we were on fish all day. Cant recommend them enough, great trip with great people.

Captain Tommy and Don were great. Our oldest son didn’t farewell and got sick, but tgey were supportive and accommodating, put us on fish and he rallied… until the trip back in. regardless we would book with them again! great time and great people. Tommy even called two days agead and suggested moving our trip up due to tge weather, and he was right. Again, good and thoughtful people!
