Our most enjoyable fishing excursion+
3HR Fishing and Sightseeing on February 17, 20262 adults

Captain Kyle was extremely helpful, attentive, and knowledgeable. He took us to several different locations and shared lots of good information about the 10,000 Islands. We caught several fish, "played" with dolphins, and enjoyed awesome music and great conversation. Highly recommend!

Angler's Choice

The Angler's Choice Award is given to listings that consistently deliver a high-quality service and earn great reviews from customers.

The Native Guided Fishing team are Southwest Florida natives, meaning they practically grew up on the waters around the 10,000 Islands. They were all hooked on fishing in their youth while cruising the backwaters, discovering the riches in the creeks and rivers. The team has spent as much time as possible on the water, increasing their knowledge bit by bit. The guides like nothing more than sharing their fishing experience with others. They promote conservation in the area, and always respect local regulations, in the hope that fishing may long continue in this corner of Florida. The Native Guided Fishing team have three boats and can accommodate up to parties of 18 (6 per boat)
