Hello and thanks for stopping in! Hop aboard my 25’ Mako out of Key Largo and lets go fishing! All time starts are flexible to fit your schedule! Just book your day and number of hours you want and I will accommodate your custom time start. I offer 2 to 5 Hour Reef, Inshore, Near Shore,  Florida Bay and Land pr Bridge fishing trips. The weather, winds and season determines our best spot for the day.

The 4 or 5 Hour Reef Trips offer a wide variety of fish; Yellow Tail Snapper, Grouper, Shark, Barracuda, Parrot Fish, Mangrove Snapper, Mutton Snapper and more!

The 3 Hour Shark- Barracuda Trip is in Florida Bay where we will fish for Shark, Snapper, Jacks etc…This is where the Tarpon and Snook show up too!!!

The 2 Hour Trip in Florida Bay offers some great quick fishing and is perfect for the little ones. Shark, Barracuda, and Snapper are the target fish for this trip.

SUNSET / FISHING TRIPS:
The 2 or 3 Hour Fishing/Sunset Trips offer In-Shore fish hunting for Shark Barracuda and Sunset Watching. Watch for some Pink Flamingos, Dolphin, Manatee and maybe even spot our resident Crocodile!  Times vary according to the Sunset.

BRIDGE Fishing trips if you want to stay on Land!

I have over 35 years of fishing in the local and surrounding areas of Key Largo, Florida and have been a licensed USCG captain since 2009. I have your fishing license covered, all bait, tackle and top notch gear is provided, I even bring the ice!

Bring your hat, drinks and snacks, kick back and enjoy our beautiful scenery, wildlife, and birds while hunting for the local fresh catch of the day! Keep your catch if you want to and I will even clean it for you, free of charge!

Pick your day and make your memories fishing with a local, family owned and charter.
* All trips are weather permitting.

4 Hour REEF TRIP 8AM on March 7, 20252 adults
Manny was great! Very laid back, friendly and passionate about catching fish. We originally booked our trip for a Friday, but do to unsafe conditions Capt. Manny worked with us to reschedule for the following day. He was very timely with his notice and messaged us several times for other fishing opportunities. We were able to get on the water and had a blast! We would definitely book with Capt. Manny in the future.

Great Day with Captain Manny
4 Hour REEF TRIP 8AM on February 1, 20252 adults1 child
My wife, daughter, and I recently went out to the patch reefs with Captain Manny. He was incredibly attentive and eager to assist us in any way possible. We experienced virtually nonstop action the entire time we were out there and ended up catching more than enough fish to take to a local restaurant, where we capped off the day with an amazing dinner. I highly recommend Captain Manny if you're planning a family outing.

4 Hour REEF TRIP 8AM on March 1, 20253 adults
We were About 4 miles out and 100-120 feet of water. On the way in and out water visibility was 60’ plus. Nice to see the bottom. We drifted over and around the reefs. We had a few snags and lost some of Captain Manny’s tackle. But we were able to land some fish in the boat. Fun times.
