    "Absolutely Incredible Experience with Captain Jonny's Inshore Fishing! From the moment we set sail with Captain Jonny, we knew we were in for an unforgettable day. His knowledge of the waters and expertise in fishing techniques were unparalleled, ensuring we were always in the best spots.

Not only did Captain Jonny make sure we had a successful fishing trip, but he also educated us about the local marine life and conservation efforts, which added so much value to our adventure. The boat was comfortable and well-equipped, making our experience both enjoyable and safe. Captain Jonny's passion for fishing and dedication to providing the best possible experience for his guests shines through in every aspect of the trip.

    Trip: Inshore Florida Fish Frenzy!

  • ★★★★★
    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.
