Reef Runner Charters offer both reef and offshore fishing trips out of Islamorada, FL. This long-running company boasts over 30 years of sportfishing experience and has many loyal repeat customers. They cater to anglers of all levels of experience and run a family-friendly sportfishing operation, so all are welcome aboard.

Their 40' Key West offshore sportfishing boat provides a sturdy and comfortable ride to the productive fishing grounds. Up to 6 guests are welcome aboard to take advantage of the spacious deck and comfortable cabin, that comes fitted with a full head.

When it comes to the fishing, you'll have the latest electronic and safety equipment at your disposal, along with quality Okuma tackle. Take advantage of the outriggers to troll the open waters, or bottom fish the reefs. Wherever you go, you'll have everything you need for a fun-filled day out.

You'll go after bait as you head out to sea, before the serious fishing starts. With Sailfish swimming the nearshore waters in Winter, the action can get hot very early on. Hit the reefs for great-tasting species such as Snapper, or fish for Tuna about 12 miles offshore. You can even go further and target Mahi Mahi, Wahoo and Blue and White Marlin, on what promises to be a fishing adventure like never before.

Whatever your target, the experienced and enthusiastic captain and crew will do everything they can to put you on fish. All you need to do is bring some drinks and snacks aboard and settle in for a thrilling day with Reef Runner Charters!
The Reef Runner has been in business since 1968!
We must be doing something right
We catch organic non GMO free range fish on the Reef Runner!

Good trip
Half Day Trip on November 11, 20233 adults
My recent fishing charter experience was nothing short of phenomenal! The boat was not only spacious and well-equipped but also impeccably maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable setting for our excursion. The captain demonstrated exceptional expertise, navigating us to the best fishing spots with precision and ensuring a successful catch. The first mate was equally impressive, offering valuable tips and assistance throughout the trip, enhancing the overall experience. Together, the captain and first mate formed a dynamic duo, creating a friendly and professional atmosphere that made our fishing adventure unforgettable. I highly recommend this charter for anyone seeking a perfect blend of skilled navigation, a well-appointed vessel, and a knowledgeable and friendly crew.

Offshore with Captain Paul!
3/4 Day Trip on March 13, 20232 adults
Went out with Captain Paul and first mate Micah and had a great day fishing. Was pretty choppy so fish weren't biting like we wanted, but my son landed a nice Almacore Jack which we ate a couple nights later for dinner at our condo (delish!) and I hauled in a nice barracuda. Great hustle by Micah! Was a great time regardless of the fishing - I'd go again next time I'm in the Keys!
Reported catch:
Barracuda maggiore
Pesce vela

July fishing trip
Half Day Trip on July 6, 20222 adults
Captain Paul put us on fish right out of the gate! Avery, his mate worked his butt off getting fish off keeping bait on and tying lines. We had an amazing time. I’m sure there maybe crews out there as good as this crew was to us but they are down to earth, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun to fish with. When we come back t won’t go with any other charter but reef runner and Captain Paul. WhT a blast we had today can’t wait to come back!!!! Thanks a bunch guys you are awesome.
