We had a great time on the water with captain Manny. Unfortunately the conditions were not ideal, 2 days after the passing of hurricane Helene. Captain Manny contacted us the day before and offered to cancel or reschedule because conditions were not favorable. We opted ourselves to give it a go and take the chance as one of us was traveling the next day. The captain was right and we didn’t catch any fish but had a great few hours on the water. We will certainly book again and give it another shot!

Captain Manny is an experienced captain and angler and made my birthday a fun one! He provided the tackle and ice for our drinks and dropped us on a reef where we caught some awesome snapper we could keep plus a nice big Barracuda. He cleaned them for us and we were happy to take our catch home for dinner! Professional, punctual, communicative and accommodating and an all round fun guy! I would go out again with Captain Manny and recommend him to others.

Took my husband and two young kids (3 and 1) out on the water with Captain Manny as a gift to celebrate Father’s Day. Capt. Manny was very communicative throughout keeping me apprised day by day since we had been having some heavy rains. Luckily, day of, the weather was clear, he was waiting for us in an easy to find location. We were only able to catch one shark while out so it was a quiet day but the little ones and husband had a great time. Thanks!

What an amazing day. We took off from the Tarpon basin from a convenient little neighborhood dock. The water coming through the canals was crystal clear. The tide was running strong. We went out to a patch reef that at first didn’t seem to have much going on. Once the Capt found the right drift he set the anchor, put out the chum, got the rods ready, and then they started coming. We caught many fish to including a 15” mutton snapper,  several 12+ inch yellowtails, mangrove snapper, 18” Red Grouper, and an 8lb trigger fish.  If we had a little better skills we may have managed some bigger fish. But it is hard to react and stop a freight train grouper if you have never done it before so we lost several nice fish due to poor reaction times. We will get them next time. And next time we will be again fishing with our new keys Captain, Capt Manny. And also that Mako 25 is a sweet ride. People who like boats should book him just to ride on that baby.

Great Captain! Very nice human being! Highest level of professionalism. Keeps his equipment and boat well maintained. Felt safe the entire time. Very informative naturalist, knows his birds, plants, etc. Has a deep connection and understanding of the natural world. Fishing is in his blood, knows how to catch fish. Lifelong local Florida Keys fisherman. Would think anything eventually becomes a “job”, not the case here, can see the joy and passion for catching fish when his face lights up as fish are coming aboard. I Have been around some dud captains before, not Captain Manny. Fair prices. Highly recommend. Thank you for a great experience with Dad!
