Marissa Means5.0VerifiedBest time!
2 Hour Trip – Inshore Fishing - 9:00 AM • 3 adults • 2 childrenManny was absolutely great with my 2 sons, and was constantly at the ready to rebait their hooks. We all had a wonderful time on the water; my kiddos caught about 10-12 fish that could be kept ( over 10 inches long ) and that felt like a very successful fishing experience for them. Highly recommend booking a fishing trip with Manny!
Response from CaptainThank you Marissa! I enjoyed the day with you and the boys! Thank you for the review!!!
Jay Browne5.0Verified10/10 - Incredible Trip!!!
4 Hour Back Country • 2 adultsMy wife and I had an absolutely incredible trip with Captain Manny! It was a great day with alot of laughs and firsts for us. We hooked up on a couple sharks plus pulled some other fish in the boat! Capt Manny made what could have been a tough day due to weather an awesome adventure! Thanks for a trip we won’t forget!

4 Hour Back Country • 3 adultsManny put us on to some great fish - barracuda, snell, black tips and bull sharks. First trip to Florida for vacation and it didn’t disappoint. Great dude - waited patiently while I figured out a minor payment hiccup and even dropped us off at our dock. My teenage sons had a blast.

4 Hour Trip – Variety Back Country • 2 adultsCouldn’t have asked for a better Captain. Manny is a genuine dude who really cares about your experience. My buddy and I had a great time and great experience fishing with Manny. I highly recommend him if you’re coming down to the keys to catch some fish, will not regret it!

What's biting with Captain Manny Key Largo BackCountry in Key Largo
The temperatures begin to cool. This is one of the quietest months in Key Largo. But be careful – a lot of captains and guides choose this month to go on vacation so don't leave it too late to plan your charter trip.
