We had an awesome experience. Cooper was amazing. We caught fish all day long. Had a great time. I would definitely do it again. I would like to bring my daughters back as well. I had a great time with my son. This is a great trip for teenagers.
We had the best day with Native Guided Fishing Charters!! Captain Nick was wonderful! He took us to the best fishing spots around the 10k Islands. We caught a bunch of fish but the highlight was a 50lb Grouper and a Bonnethead shark which looked just like a hammerhead and had my 9 year old son overjoyed!
We stopped at a remote island to swim
And shell along the way and even came across a pod of dolphins!
Will definitely be booking with them again in the future!
Cooper was an excellent guide/captain! Took us where we were catching fish all day! Plus a few shark! Highly recommended this charter for anyone vacationing in the Marco Island area!
A fun morning with 14 yr old grandson. He was first to catch a fish. His father caught a sting ray which took a solid 20-min to reel in. Saw some beautiful dolphin sightings. Fun day followed by lunch at the Crabby Lady.
Did the inshore fishing trip and it was so successful, catching 6 different fish species, that we did the fishing and shelling trip a week later. Just as fun! The scenery is so incredible and unique, and our captain & guide was very knowledgeable and efficient. Really professional young men running a truly individualized/catered fishing charter business. Captain Cooper took us to great spots and kept the lines baited. Obviously very familiar with the good fishing spots, history of the area, and ecosystem uniqueness. Even got the dolphins to play in our wake both times out, too. For guaranteed fun time out on the water, highly recommend Native Guided Fishing Charters.
Native Guided is hands down the best fishing outfitter on the island. From the moment we showed at the marina in the morning, our captain was well prepared, professional, and knew his stuff! We saw a pod of dolphins almost immediately after leaving the dock due to our captain’s extensive knowledge of the surrounding area and wildlife. He then expertly navigated the challenging intercostal waters pointing out and giving information on native birds and wildlife along the way. The fishing was a blast and our captain couldn’t have been more patient and helpful when members of our party needed help with their casts or got snagged. We can’t thank Native Guided Fishing Charter’s enough for an amazing family memory that will last a lifetime.
