Enjoy the beautiful waters in the Florida Keys aboard Manicsportfishing! If you’re looking to cast a few lines, take in the sights, and have an all-around fun day, this is the charter for you. Families will have a great time with the captain. He knows these waterways in and out and makes sure you have everything you need for a memorable day on board.

There’s something for everyone aboard the double-decker 26’ Grand Island pontoon boat. Youngsters, and the young at heart, can’t get enough of the epic water slide and water toys. Those looking to relax can chill out on the comfortable couches and watermat with a beverage and take in the view. The captain also has a
ample ice storage for food and drinks.

Inshore fishing in the Keys offers plenty of opportunities in a relaxed atmosphere. Hook Catfish, Snapper, and even Bonetthead Sharks in these calm waters. Trips aboard the pontoon boat are mostly catch and release but he’s happy to clean and fillet any keepers you do catch.

There’s fishing equipment for 4 anglers to use on board. What you'll want to bring are your bathing suits and snorkeling equipment for cooling off in the water! Cooler is provided and you’re free to bring any other drinks and snacks you’d like. Please try to avoid refreshments in glass packaging and spray-on suntan lotion.

Try some fishing, do some exploring, and enjoy a few hours on the water with Manicsportfishing! Snorkel gear not included. We do not go to the reef Oceanside or Sandbars oceanside

    Captain Casey!

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on May 1, 2026 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Casey was amazing, she took us to see dolphin caught some mangrove snapper and then cruised to the bay where we got the floats out and swam and waterslid our hearts out! We did the half day and had plenty of time but would do the full day too because of how great the trip was. 10/10 recommend, thank you Capt. Casey!

    Awesome, relaxing day on the water!

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on July 21, 2026 • 6 adults

    Loved this day! Captan Casey and her First Mate, Kylie - a sweet yellow lab, were amazing. Casey knew right where to fish and we caught 6 snapper. Then she took us to a cool spot for some snorkeling/swimming. Casey cleaned the fish for us and we had an delious dinner! Such a chill way to spend a hot afternoon. Highly recommend this tour - ask for Casey!!!!

    Capt Mike leads a cruise full of stories and adventure

    Snappers Swim and a Private Tour on October 6, 2023 • 4 adults

    The cruise to fish, swim and tour had the best of everything for a family. The boat cruises in Florida Bay which is smooth sailing. No worries about getting sea sick. Capt Mike put us on to something me snapper and other great fish for my sons to catch. After just the right amount of fishing for a family we hoisted anchor and moved to a location for swimming. The whole family lived the slide into the water. We even saw some dolphins swimming nearby. Great 3 hour tour.

    Great family day on the water…

    6 Hour – Fun in the Sun on March 15, 2022 • 4 adults

    Captain was super nice and we got a great vibe right away. We toured around the island a little before heading over to Molasses Key which is a nice little private island. We anchored and threw out the water mat which was fun and we did a lot of sliding down the slide. Other people started showing up and they were clearly envious of our boat setup. We dove around and caught a lobster… then off to a few other spots to just play in the water. The captain even threw the water mat in a second time to coax our tired boys to swim one last time. That was great and showed his commitment to us having a great trip - as it didn’t look easy to handle as it’s so large. He got them in too… even I was impressed. Fantastic day. Thanks again!!!

    Great relaxing day on the water

    4 Hour Trip (AM) on June 6, 2024 • 6 adults

    Captain Shad was awesome! It was the perfect trip to get my young daughters the fishing itch. He put us in a great spot to work with my girls on how to fish and plenty of action to keep their attention. Also the slide was a big hit. 10/10! Will book again.

    Great time with Captain Casey

    Afternoon Snappers, Swim and Tour on July 24, 2024 • 5 adults • 2 children

    We had a blast on this trip. Fished for an hour or so, our group caught a few and then we headed out to swim for a bit. Would highly recommend for families. My girls loved Casey’s dog Kylie and going down the slide into the ocean over and over.

    Great experience!

    Afternoon Snappers, Swim and Tour on June 15, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Casey took great care of us. She helped our 6 year old catch fish which he loved. We even had enough time to go snorkeling for a little bit and try out the slide. It was a very cool way to experience Marathon.

Great Captain, Boat and gear in rough shape
4 Hour Trip (AM) on January 23, 20262 adults2 children

Captain was great, knowledgeable of the area/fish/mangroves, etc. Took a while to get on fish but that's fishing for you. Boat was in really rough shape for a charter pontoon. Cushions in rough shape, covered in bird poop, cracked, doors broken, etc. etc. Rods and reels weren't prepared by the company for the guide. Old, broken eyelets, low line yardage, improperly spooled, she had to take the first 15-20 minutes getting the rods ready/geared up and they were a constant problem throughout the trip. Company needs to spend the $ from a trip or two and buy some decent gear and put this pontoon out of guide service.

Reported catch:
Bonnethead Shark
