Welcome to Native Guided Fishing Charters, your premier choice for inshore and backwater fishing adventures in Goodland, Marco Island, and the 10,000 Islands. Led by a true Florida native with over 25 years of experience and three years as a professional guide, Captain [Name] offers guests a fun, relaxed, and professional day on the water.
Born and raised fishing the coastal waters of Southwest Florida, the Captain learned the ropes from his father and turned a lifelong passion into Native Guided Fishing Charters. His goal is simple—share the same excitement he grew up with and provide guests of all ages with an unforgettable fishing experience. Whether you’re an experienced angler or a first-time fisherman, you’ll enjoy a day designed for comfort, action, and local insight.
Our trips explore the pristine 10,000 Islands—one of Florida’s most diverse fisheries. These mangrove-lined channels, grass flats, and back bays are home to some of the most sought-after inshore species, including Snook, Redfish, Tarpon, Snapper, Sheepshead, and Pompano. Every trip offers the chance to reel in a trophy fish while enjoying the scenery, spotting dolphins, and soaking in the peaceful beauty of the Everglades coastline.
You’ll fish aboard a 2015 25’ Seahawk powered by a 300hp Yamaha engine, built for both comfort and performance. The boat accommodates up to six guests and comes fully equipped with everything you need for a successful outing—bait, tackle, gear, ice, and a fishing license are all included. Just bring your drinks, snacks, and sun protection, and we’ll take care of the rest.
Native Guided Fishing Charters offers two popular options: a Half Day Morning Trip and a Half Day Afternoon Trip, each priced at $600 for up to four guests and $50 for each additional angler (maximum of six). Trips run Monday through Sunday, and full payment is required at booking. If plans change, cancellations made 14 days or more before departure receive a full refund.
Beyond private charters, Native Guided Fishing Charters also accommodates larger groups, corporate events, and family reunions with access to additional boats and captains. The captain is especially proud of his “Make-A-Wish” style trips for kids—heartwarming experiences that remind him why he loves guiding.
Whether you’re chasing fish, making memories with family, or planning a group outing, Native Guided Fishing Charters delivers a fun and genuine Florida experience guided by local expertise and passion for the water.
