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.
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.

Multiple captains went above and beyond for our two young boys! The fishing and shelling was the perfect combo for our family. We were lucky enough to see sharks, sea turtles, manatees, and dolphins on our trip. We highly recommend Native Guided Fishing for the experience and hospitality shown to our family!Posted on Google Meghan MitchemTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We had a great time with Capt Cooper and Native Guided FishingPosted on Google C L CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wanted to go shelling for my daughter and I and to go fishing for my husband. This charter had both together in one trip! Our captain Kyle was so friendly and took us to a bunch of spots. We also found quite a few sand dollars, which is what we were looking for! Highly recommend Native Guided Fishing and Kyle if you want to go shelling/fishing in the Ten Thousand Islands!Posted on Google Ashley SpeckTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Capt. Kyle was amazing - fun, knowledgeable, and put us on some good fish! He was also patient with our girls who are learning which we appreciated! It was a great trip! 100% Reccommend Native Guided Fishing!Posted on Google Molly MooreTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Booked a last minute trip with Captain Cooper after two failed fishing trips the same week. We had an absolute blast. Fish were biting, we went through a lot of bait (the other boats we went with didn’t buy any) and got to enjoy the scenery, see dolphins and manatees and caught some really cool fish I didn’t know existed. AND listened to great music! Thanks Kodie for setting this up for us and being honest from the startPosted on Google ray6578Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Cooper was great. Stopped at a few different spots to get jacks, trout, and a good size snook. Would do again.Posted on Google John AmayaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent experience. It was our first time fishing offshore as a family.

Highly recommend.Posted on Google Barbara SantifortTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, Captain Kyle was wonderfulPosted on Google Rich FedericoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We did a 4 hr charter with NGF and Capt Kyle was awesome! Conditions weren’t ideal, but He kept us tight on mangrove snapper, various cats, and a nice Red Drum! We also had some fun with Dolphin jumping out wake! Great time and would highly recommend NGF!
