Marco Island Fishing Charter Fleet

Three Native Guided Fishing charter boats running across sunlit Gulf waters

Our vessels comfortably accommodate up to 6 passengers. All our boats are wide, stable, and have shallow water draft capabilities while maintaining the ability to handle open bodies of water and a light chop comfortably. Ultimately, making our fleet uniquely equipped to accommodate serious anglers and all other outdoor enthusiasts during your charter.

Marco Island, Goodland, Ten Thousand Islands, and the surrounding area in Southwest Florida can present challenging navigation during different tidal movements. Having local knowledge, experience, and the proper boat helps ensure a safe, fun, and productive outdoor experience.

Ready to Get on the Water?

Our fleet runs backwater charters through the 10,000 Islands and offshore trips into the Gulf. Pick your trip and book online in minutes.

Why Our Fleet is Built for Southwest Florida

Southwest Florida’s shallow backcountry and changing tides require the right boat and local knowledge. Our 25-foot center console vessels are equipped with Garmin electronics for navigating the Ten Thousand Islands and surrounding waterways.

The C-Hawk and Parker SW models also feature twin PowerPoles, allowing quiet anchoring in shallow water when targeting fish along the flats. Every boat is set up for groups of up to six passengers, with the equipment needed for a comfortable day fishing, shelling, or exploring the water.

The Right Boat Is Only Part of the Experience

Our fleet is built for the shallow backwaters, changing tides, and open Gulf waters around Marco Island but a great day on the water also depends on the captain at the helm. Our local fishing guides know the 10,000 Islands, Goodland, and surrounding Southwest Florida waters, and they will help choose the right route, fishing approach, and pace for your group.

Whether you are planning a family-friendly backwater trip, a serious fishing charter, or a day exploring the islands, our captains pair local knowledge with the right vessel for the conditions.

Capt. Cooper was great! We had such an amazing time and he had us catching over slot size fish within 20 minutes of leaving the dock! (We did bring home dinner too!) The boat and equipment were top notch! We will return!

I have fished on marco island for the past 20 years, and then sold my home there in 2018. I returned this week on business and took a customer out fishing with native guided fishing charters. These are great people and if you want to have fun and catch some big fish call kodie, the owner. If you have a choice, ask for Cooper as your guide. He is great at what he does. Great experience!

We had a great morning with Captain Cooper. He kept the rods bent and we were able to bag multiple species and enjoy a great half day on the water. Very knowledgable, personable and a great guide for our fishing charter. Would highly recommend and would definitely book with him again!

Excellent charter and captains! We went with Captain Kyle and Cooper with 5 kids between the two. They helped everyone catch a fish, and even managed to pull in a Tarpon!! A rare bucket list item for everyone. If we could give them 6 stars, we would! Thank you!

Kyle was a great guide! Very personable and knew all of the spots. Made it very comfortable for us and while we were experienced anglers, I have no doubt he would be great for anyone who is newer to fishing. Highly recommended!

We had a great time with Captain Cooper. We started out with a keeper Pampano and a lone Dolphin sighting/interaction. We ended up a short distance offshore on a reef or wreck that had multiple sea turtles in the area along with some more fishing action. We ended the trip with a Spanish Mackerel run and a small pod of dolphins and boated four Spanish that were over 18" great mixture of wildlife and fishing. Would fish with again when in the area. Cooper cleaned the fish we fed the dock "pets" and Cokomo's cooked our catch.

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Native Guided Fishing! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. We had such a great time that we’re seriously considering booking another trip before we even leave Florida! Our captain, Kyle, was fantastic—attentive, extremely knowledgeable, and so much fun to be around. He made sure everyone was comfortable, engaged, and having a great time throughout the entire trip. His knowledge and personality really made the experience special. We even had the incredible bonus of seeing dolphins playing in the wake of the boat, which made the whole experience even more magical and unforgettable. If you’re looking for a fun, memorable fishing experience with a great captain, we highly recommend Native Guided Fishing. We would absolutely book with Kyle again!

First time experience fishing like this and it was so great I cannot wait to do it again! Our Captain Kyle was the best! We had the best time and experience from boarding til exiting. He took us to multiple places to fish, baited and changed broken lines and was very informative and instructional. We enjoyed a great time on the water. I would highly recommend this company and will be booking again!
