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

He really knew what he was doing and we caught a lot of fish!Posted on Google Kristin MattalianoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Kyle was fantastic, especially with our 8-year-old. He was incredibly patient, kind, and made us feel comfortable even though we were complete beginners. We booked this trip for our 13 year old, who loves fishing, but our whole family ended up having an amazing time. Seeing dolphins was an unexpected highlight, and Kyle even took the time to let them play in the boat’s wake. It was an unforgettable experience, and we certainly made a lot of memories. Thank you!Posted on Google Judy FryeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an incredible experience with Native Guided Fishing! Captain Kyle was absolutely fantastic. From the moment we got on the boat, he made us feel safe, comfortable, and excited for the day ahead. He was incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to teach us about fishing along the way, making it a fun learning experience for the whole family. Most importantly, he made sure everyone caught fish, including our kids, ages 7 and 8! Seeing how excited they were made the trip even more special. This was our family's first guided fishing trip, and Captain Kyle exceeded every expectation. We had an amazing time, made great memories, and can't wait to do it again. We highly recommend Native Guided Fishing, especially for families looking for a fun, safe, and unforgettable adventure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
