Thomas O’leary5.0VerifiedFantastic Activity Filled Excursion
3 Hour National Park Tour (PM) on December 1, 2025 • 2 adultsCaptain 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.

3 Hour National Park Tour (PM) on February 18, 2026 • 2 adultsComing 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
Klaas Hellinga5.0VerifiedGreat trip!
3 Hour National Park Tour (AM) on April 24, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 childrenWe 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.

4 Hour Trip – Family Fishing (AM) on February 15, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenTook 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.
Carlos Mendez5.0VerifiedGreat fishing trip
3 Hour National Park Tour (AM) on July 1, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 childrenvery experienced and knowledgeable captain
Aaron Quino5.0VerifiedLook no further, Captain Pablo is your guy!
3 Hour National Park Tour (AM) on May 16, 2025 • 2 adultsMy 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!
Stephanie Cantle5.0VerifiedPerfect experience for a family trip
3 Hour National Park Tour (PM) on February 22, 2025 • 4 adultsPablo 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.
Raphael Arocho5.0VerifiedAmazing experience
4 Hour Trip – Family Fishing (PM) on June 2, 2025 • 4 adultsCaptain 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!
Querida Warnick5.0VerifiedWhat a catch!
4 Hour Trip – Family Fishing (AM) on June 26, 2024 • 3 adults • 1 childPablo 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.

4 Hour Trip – Inshore/Nearshore on June 30, 2025 • 2 adultsCapt. 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!

Our excursion with Captain Pablo was incredible!! 🤩 My husband caught 2 tuna and a snapper and I caught a snapper! It was a blast talking with him. He was born and raised in the area, so he was incredibly knowledgeable. He follows all the laws regarding boating, fishing, etc. He was safe and the boat was very clean. Cannot recommend him and his boat enough!!!! It was perfect for our family of four. He even brought an ice chest full of drinks, which was unexpected. Then he cleaned up the fish and we had the restaurant cook it up. Such a cool experience. Thanks Pablo!!!
National Parks are our traveling goal, and this was such a cool way to experience Biscayne Bay. The weather was particularly challenging the day we had booked. Pablo was able to pivot and give us a memorable trip regardless of the weather restrictions. We got a phenomenal tour of the park, and also were able to fish in some neat spots. Pablo is an expert on the park, park history, and of course fishing. We had a blast getting to see both, and appreciate Pablo’s expertise in making this trip memorable for what we wanted to see. We will definitely be back again and will use him again!

Given the short and last minute trip, Captain Pablo made sure we maximized our time. It was well worth our while. He made sure our son caught a fish to break the ice before heading out. He also gave us local recommendations to get some good bites. Cant wait for our next trip out.
