Coast Runner Outfitters started in 2021 when Captain Donny and his wife Stephanie followed Donny's passion for waterfowl hunting. Both grew up in northwest Ohio and moved to the Wakulla area in 2008. Since then, Captain Donny has spent nearly two decades understanding the local waters, fish habitats, and wildlife patterns—completing his 43 waterfowl slam in 2022 and traveling internationally to pursue his hunting passion.
All Captain-led hunts are conducted by USCG-licensed guides with years of experience on Florida's coastal and freshwater systems.
Morning hunts: 6:00-10:00 AM | Afternoon hunts: 2:30 PM-Sunset Price: $250 per person | Deposit: $250 full day / $125 half day (non-refundable)
Hunt Redheads, Buffleheads, Lesser Bluebills, Greater Bluebills, Goldeneye, Canvasback, Wood Ducks, Pintails, Ringneck Ducks, and Red-breasted Merganser.
