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.
Our 25-foot center console vessels are purpose-built for the unique challenges of Southwest Florida’s coastal waterways. With shallow water draft capabilities, these boats reach the backcountry creeks, mangrove tunnels, and tidal flats of the 10,000 Islands that most charter boats simply can’t access — giving you a genuine local advantage on every trip.
Each boat is wide, stable, and comfortable for groups of up to 6 passengers, with shade and seating throughout. Whether you’re chasing Snook in ankle-deep backcountry water or heading nearshore for Grouper and Snapper, our boats handle both seamlessly.
Twin PowerPoles on the C-Hawk and Parker SW models allow us to anchor silently in the shallows without spooking fish — a critical edge when targeting Redfish and Snook on the flats. Garmin electronics across every vessel ensure precise navigation through the complex maze of waterways in the 10,000 Islands, where local knowledge and the right equipment make all the difference.
From family-friendly shelling trips to serious inshore fishing, our fleet is equipped and ready for whatever the water calls for.
EXCELLENT Based on 305 reviews Posted on Todd Rathjen [CONTRACTOR]Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic time on our charter today. Our captain, Cooper was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and personable. He put us on the fish under difficult weather conditions and created a very enjoyable experience for all of us. I would highly recommend Native Guided Fishing for anyone looking to book a charter fishing experience!Posted on Austin ReedyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful morning on the water, even with a tough bite they gave it their all to put us on the fishPosted on Kelly HenryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyle was great!! The boat was clean and nice. We booked the shelling and fishing but chose to fish the whole time. He moved often trying to find more fish. He was great with the teenage boys too! Would recommend!Posted on Tim RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Kyle was great with our family and really patient with the younger kids.

Fantastic guide service! Our captain was friendly and fun!Posted on AndrewTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had another amazing trip with Native Guided Fishing out of Goodland near Marco Island! This was our second year going, and once again Captain Kyle knocked it out of the park. He’s knowledgeable, easygoing, and truly makes the whole experience fun from start to finish. You can tell he cares about his guests having a great time—and it shows. If you’re looking for a top-notch fishing charter, I highly recommend booking with them. We’ll definitely be back again! 🎣Posted on Megan FassTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Way better than I expected! When my husband told me we were going on a fishing trip, I was truthfully nervous. But this was an exceptional experience, especially with Kyle who made it easy and bougie for us. He constantly had us hooked with new bait.. sometimes before we even realized he was on it. It was really nice not having to touch any of the shrimp bait and have Captain Kyle that took care of everything for us. He even out-ran a storm for us to sunny skies. We caught a bunch of different fish - squirrel, fish, lady fish, blue fish bonnet, shark, jacks, and lady fish. And we saw lots of dolphin. They came right up to our boat. And then later in the day Kyle got the dolphins to play in the wakes behind the boat. So amazing! Our 2 teens even had a good time. Highly recommend this company and Kyle as the Captain. Really fun day!!Posted on Matthew YessianTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time!
