"Captain Nick is great and we had a great day shelling and boating. We would recommend this
excursion for sure." - Rick
"My husband and I did a 4 hour tour and I could not have asked for a better experience! Captain Nick and Vil were very welcoming, knowledgeable, and fun. The boat was SO clean and very comfortable. They took a normal 4 hour boat ride experience and made it exceptional. We not only got to check out the amazing islands, they were on the lookout to make sure that we saw all the wildlife that we wanted to see! Lots of Dolphins, Tarpon, MANTA RAYS, and A HAMMERHEAD SHARK! I truly was taken back by what a great day and experience we had. We cannot WAIT to book another day on The Island Runner." - Nicole
"The whole trip was awesome. Our captain Nick was the best! Totally recommending this to my friends
and family!" - Ana
"Captain Nick took me & my girls (15 & 18 years of age) on an amazing adventure. We chatted prior to the trip and decided that seeing wildlife & visiting out-of- the-way beaches was high on our wish list; he did not disappoint.
On our way out to the 2 pristine, Bahamian-like beaches we visited, we saw a huge Osprey nest full of babies, numerous dolphins and a school of about a dozen HugeTarpon (captain Nick said they weighed 100 - 200 lbs each!).
We snorkled off the beach where the water was warm & crystal clear. We collected lots of shells and caught & released a starfish. The pinnacle of the day was at the second beach where we swam near a manatee for about a half mile parallel to the beach, about 20 feet offshore!!! This was a once in a lifetime experience and we are still amazed that it actually happened. We ended our 6-hour tour with lunch at Olde Bay Cafe in Dunedin; we all tried Copie fish for the first time and it was delicious!
We are extremely thankful to Captain Nick for making his boat available for rental. We had the best day of our vacation out on the water with him. He is professional, knowlegeable and very friendly. We will definitely call Captain Nick the next time we are in the area. " - Kim
"Captain Nick and Vil were very friendly, and considerate of all the details involving our time with them.
We had a great time! And I wouldn't hesitate using their services again." - Jerry
"Captain Nick was excellent and accommodating. The ride was smooth as he pointed out notable
landmarks and stopped for viewing of dolphin play. Great family time and views of the sunset and sea." - Dawn
"There were so many great experiences we had on this trip, that it’s hard to say which one was our favorite. There was the three Rooker Island visit with all these beautiful shells and sea life, the bird sanctuary, and seeing a pod of dolphins up close. But we think our favorite part was that Captain Nick was very flexible and willing to do what we wanted to do and take us where we wanted to go. He is definitely all about the customer having a great experience and that is what we had! Note: no sea creatures were harmed during our visit; we returned them back to the sea." - Wanda
"Had a great day fishing with captain Nick and first mate Matt. They put us on Fish and kept us on them all day. We ate well that night and had plenty for the freezer to. Will book with Reel Runner again." - Matt C
"Captain Nick & Matt were great guides..went on a 4 hr fishing excursion and caught 27 snapper, grouper, porgies, blow fish & grunts!! Will do it again Soon!!" - Marcia
"A great experience with non stop bites. They kept up with different baits so we barely had the poles out of the water. Even recommended the best way to cook all the fish. We will be back again!" - Zach
"Our family had a great trip and really enjoyed our day with Capt. Nick and his deck hand Matt. My boys can’t wait for our next trip with Capt. Nick." - Matt
"This was an amazing trip. We had so much fun. Nick and Matt were fantastic with the kids. So patient. My kids caught tons of fish and can’t wait to go back. Best birthday ever!!!!!!!" - Kathy
"Nick took excellent care of us! He got us to the island for shells, and ended the cruise with dolphins jumping right beside the boat! Great day for all." - Carol
"The guys were great. Kept up with bait and helping the fishermen. Was a choppy day and boat was sound and safe. Was a fun time - would recommend! Sunset was nice, crew accommodating!" -Jill
"We had a beautiful day! Nick took us out to a great spot and we caught lots of different fish and plenty for dinner. We even had an octopus for a minute. Matt was so helpful as well. Great day - highly recommend it." -Felicia
"We got to the marina at about 10 am was on the water ready to go by 10:30. Very clean and had everything we needed available with notice of request. I had such a great time and to escape during this Pandemic with old friends was just what the soul needed. Thank you nick well be back for sure!" -Nici
