Greg called me right off the bat! He could tell I’ve chartered some boats in the past, and obviously was more so seeking bigger fish! But Greg’s honesty is only reason I booked! Small 2-3lb yellow tail yellow tail fish it was fun. Greg did take us to a wreck the end of our trip to try for some bigger fish nothing seemed to bite!! Only thing I think charging customers for fuel is bullshit and that should be incorporated in the trip and I told Greg that as well!

Ok. Friendly mate and captain. Not sure the crew was super seasoned on these waters. We booked for 6, but they were surprised when 6 showed up. Boat was just ok. My wife was knocked down to the floor. Took 3 times to set anchor. Equipment did not seem to be highly well maintained.

Absolutely amazing day.  Great equipment, great boat, but most importantly an experienced Captain and First Mate with a fantastic attitude.  Even if we hadn’t caught anything I would have enjoyed the experience because of how they explained everything clearly in an educational but positive way since we are beginners.  But what a day!  Caught a huge amount and variety of fish in just a few hours.  Organized the taxidermy and everything at the end of the day for us.  Lifetime experience for sure!

Had a blast with Captain Gregory and Jayden (First Mate) My dad and I were constantly on fish after fish. Jayden was very helpful in making sure we had bait on the hook and the captain made sure there were fish on the lines! If your looking for a charter worth the money, I highly recommend going with these guys. There upfront, honest, and very hard working to make sure you catch fish. Next time I come to the keys this will be my first stop! Thanks Manicsportfishing for an awesome day on the water!

It was a good trip on a beautiful, sunny day. The boat was clean and as described, and Captain Mike and first mate Chris were knowledgeable and helpful. Plenty of bait of different kinds, and good equipment. We caught keeper fish almost immediately but, on the whole, the fishing was kind of slow that day, despite the Captain’s best efforts to move us to different spots to put us on fish. If you’re an experienced fisherman, you’ve heard the phrase “it’s called fishin, not catchin’.” Some days are simply better than others, and I don’t blame the Captain at all for the lack of a bonanza of strikes. We did catch 8 or 9 different varieties of fish, including some small sharks, and caught enough keepers for great dinner for four, consisting mainly of mangrove snapper prepared by a local restaurant. I recommend this charter.
