Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

From booking stage to walking back off the dock with bags full of fish, This dedicated family will give you a charter like none other!!
The wweather was a bit so so, but this CAT Hull rounded up the other boats in the first 20mins that left the harbour and allowed us to go alot further than the common charter boats and have lines down ultra quick, The Twin Hull cut through the water like no other and is the only way we would fish the reef again. Not one person was ill and makes for a great family experience not only for fishing but snorkelling, and day tripping.
We have been on many of charters in the area across the past 5 years, But they area leaps and bounds infront of everyone on quality service and making sure the small things are included (even a wipe towel and water buckets for your hands)
Fantastic Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea with a great source of knowledge to share with us on species, growth rates and caring for the environment to make sure there is fish out there for everyone!!!
If your going to Cairns and love supporting local families that put everything into there company Reef Runner Charters is the one for you!!

Just want to give a huge rap to the skipper & deckie for the charter I went on with 6 others on the 18-2-2022.
1) Reef Runner is a beautiful 30 ft cat & its quick so you get to the fishing grounds fast.
2) Skipper had a great knowledge of the area we were fishing.
3) If the fish weren't playing the game we quickly moved on to maximise our chances of catching fish.
4) All caught fish that we were keeping were killed humanely & quickly bled & gutted & into the esky.
5) The spread they lay on will never leave you hungry.

I've been on 3 charter's with Reef Runner now & they have always tried their best to produce the goods. I would highly recommend them to any visiting fisho to jump onboard & have a great day. I did

We had a fantastic time with Dan, Logan and Kale. Michaelmas cay where we stopped to snorkel was truly out of this world! Our novice fishing friend had an adrenalin pumping time as she reeled up fish, (more than an envious me). It was an amazing day! I would highly recommend this experience!

Had a great Tour today with Captain Dan and Eddy! Fish were jumping on the hooks but when they stopped they’d move over to a new site and it would start again.
Great breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack too! Just a great day all round, really enjoyed it.
Thanks guys!

We booked a trip to the reef but when we got to the pier it was determined that it was too windy to go out. The guys suggested we head up river which we did. although we didn't get out on the reef we did some fun river fishing. Very friendly staff with lots of fun conversation about the area.

We were lucky to be traveling on a cruise boat the beginning of the new year and wanted to dive when we reached Cairns. LUCKY, we found Reef Runner. With a short time window, the team was able to take us to outer reef, two tank dives with nice lunch, and then back before boat left.
From booking, to the vessel, to how Kelly and Dan run this is a family business makes this an amazing find.

Had an awesome day out and caught lots. Weather was great, a little rain but that didn’t stop the fun. Adult kids and teenagers loved it. Dan and Connor looked after us really well. Recommend!

Big shout out to Captain Dan and Deckhand Eddy. Both so knowledgeable of the waters and fish below. We had an awesome time recently doing the half day charter. Aside from it being a bit rough, we had great fishing. Plenty of bites kept things interesting too. Catering menu hit the spot - thanks to whoever organised that! Eddy did a brilliant job of filleting the Coral Trout caught - which was dinner that night. So good!!

The scuba diving experience was my first time ever and being scared of sea seemed like I wouldn’t do it. However Kevin the instructor assisted and guided me into gaining the awesome experience watching the lovely fishes and the corals. Thanks Kevin :)

This was the highlight of our visit to Australia. Dan, our skipper, and Silas, were great fellas and couldn’t have been more helpful. The fishing was fantastic, and the kids loved it thanks to their great and patient advice. The snorkling on the GBR was incredible. Our youngest was very unsure but Dan helped sort him out and he was swimming around like a professional by the end. I’d strongly recommend Reef Runner Charters to anyone.
