Boat is solid and the captain did not mind burning fuel to find the fish for us. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting south Florida to book with Cool Runnings. I plan on being back myself in a few weeks.

Great experience! Water was rough, but our captain made sure we are comfortable and constantly checked in on us. Jason made it his goal to make sure that both of our sons caught a fish. We ended up staying out till sunset. Captain Jason really is the best! We were amazed by his professionalism and skills on the water!

Booked a half-day and wish we could’ve stayed out longer. Captain put us on some big fish as soon as we got out there. I would highly recommend booking with Cool Runnings Fishing Charters if you’re ever in South Florida and looking for a great guide.
