About Your Guide

Manny Sivina

Independent Guide

From a young age Captain Manny knew what he wanted to do. When he was only 18 months old he caught his first fish with his father. With that 2 lbs. flounder he was, pardon my pun, hooked. He is actually a 4th generation fisherman so fishing is in his blood. He has spent his whole life in or around fishing boats and poles and lures. At age 13 he started his journey to becoming the Captain of his own fishing charter boat.

At age 13 he took a job as second mate aboard the 80 foot “New Popeye” party fishing boat. From there he continued to work on fishing vessels in New Orleans throughout his college years. During grad school in Miami, he worked as a mate on the 24’ “Sweet Gina” taking out groups of three anglers to the Miami fishing grounds.

Eventually, when he was 21 he landed a Captain position on a 90’ party fishing boat doing two and three-day trips to the Bahamas. This was his most memorable experience. On board this vessel he was able, in the seven years he stayed on as Captain, to land just about every great fish in the Gulfstream from a 9 lbs. Yellowtail Snapper to a 90 lbs. Grouper to a 600 lbs. Giant Blue Fin Tuna to a whopping 800 lbs. Blue Marlin. He has caught all of them and can take this expertise to put his customers on the fish.

Captain Manny is an accomplished fisherman. He has won numerous awards like the first place fun fish boat in the Miami Billfish Tournament. He holds many I.G.F.A. records, METT Tournament wins and is proud to have guided his customers to their own I.G.F.A. records too.

He loves being a fisherman. He loves taking people out to fish. He loves to see the look in the eye when that kid or adult lands his first fish. He knows that they are hooked just like he was 40 years ago.

Hands down the best charter experience we’ve ever had! Captain Manny runs a top-notch operation. The crew was high-energy, incredibly knowledgeable, and worked tirelessly the entire trip to make sure everyone caught something. The boat handles the deep water beautifully and is kept immaculate. We brought home a cooler full of fish and memories that will last forever. Huge shoutout to Captain Manny and Captain Carl you guys rock! Don't hesitate to book these guys....

Manny and his crew are the best! Very knowledgeable and also fun to be on a boat with.

We went out in January when conditions were not the best for fishing, but the crew made it their mission to get us some fish, and even kept the boat out a little longer for us.

We ended up with two blackfin tuna which they fileted for us and we had a great dinner. Highly recommend this charter!...

The boat and crew, Capt Jesus and Jordan, were excellent. Although they did everything in their power, the fish were not cooperating with us today. We’ll just have to do it again soon! Cheers!

I've been out on charters many, many times mostly down the east coast but also in Cabo. I must say the trip out with captain Manny is one of the two best trips out I've ever experienced. Her out is on fish, Jordan (the mate) ensured the rods and basis were correct and ready to catch fish. This was just a half day trip but next trip I'm going full day. Wow, I highly recommend Captain Manny!!!!! The catch highlights have to include the 54" barracuda and a 7' shark (it took two of us tag teaming and over 30 minutes to bring the shark alongside the boat for measurement.
