My name is Drew Naeckel. I am the owner and operator of Mangrove Maniacs. A service that I am very proud of and I hope to get the chance to share with you. I've spent nearly 30 years on these waters. Since 10 years old I have owned a boat and was eager to explore the area, and explore I did! At a young age, gaining experience like this leads to becoming a confident captain. Fast forward a couple decades and a few skiffs later now i’m a veteran guide with nearly 20 years full time guiding guests to some truly epic experiences. Come out on an adventure with me and I will prove it. I always work very hard to ensure that your time with me is one you will talk about for a long time after you step foot back on solid ground.
