With easy access to the Gulf of Mexico, Tampa Bay, and rivers, Bradenton, Florida provides diverse opportunities for fishing. If you’re itching for some action, Nautical Native Fishing Adventures will put you on the fish.  Captain Charlie will guide you across the local waters in a spacious, comfortable and very safe 25' twin engine vessel. You can expect to fish anywhere around Anna Maria Island, Egmont Key, Long Boat, Terra Ceia and the Gulf of Mexico for a wide variety of species. 

You’ll be exploring all the different locations aboard a 2021 Parker center console. It is 25’ and has ample room for groups of up to 6 guests. It boasts a powerful Power-Pole trolling motor to lock us into that hot spot. The boat is fitted with twin Yamaha engines that can go up to 42 knots. You’ll be going from one fishery to the other quickly. For the best fishing experience, fish-finding equipment featuring side-scan technology is available to see 3D images of your fishing hot spot.

This charter covers inshore and nearshore areas which include wrecks and reef locations, as well as flats. You can also visit local rivers for some river fishing. With all these locations, you can be sure that you can find fish all year round. Though some species are seasonal, you can generally encounter Snook, Trout, Redfish, Spanish Mackerel, Kingfish, Flounder, Mangrove Snapper, and several types of Grouper. You can use a variety of fishing techniques such as light and heavy tackle, trolling, and drift fishing.

You don’t have to sweat about the fishing gear, lures, and bait, as everything is provided on board. The charter also covers your Florida fishing license, and if you want to relax during breaks, the crew will give you snorkeling equipment.  If you need any help, you can ask the Captain or first mate who are eager to help. Families with children are always welcome.
Discover all the fishing opportunities and let Nautical Native Fishing Adventures take you on a fishing adventure!

This was our family’s first time trying something like this so I am so grateful at how easy this experience ended up being. Charlie initiated communication to make sure everything went smooth, he helped us find the pier, parking, etc. No need for coolers, cause he provided those too! The boat was the perfect size for our family, and was clean and comfortable. Flexible with music choices. I am a talker… and they answered every question I had and even volunteered more information, so left feeling like I knew a little more about fishing and boats. We will definitely book with them again for a longer trip, but this trip was a perfect introduction. A++

6 Hour - Combo Trip

Amazing Day on The Water!

VERIFIED

When we got to the Tampa area, the day that our charter was booked, had horrible weather Captain Charlie was in contact with us constantly with updates and we were able to push our charter back one day for an afternoon trip and it worked out perfectly. The boat ride was epic and beautiful, and we were able to fish a small island some mangroves and some docks at the yacht clubs. The crew was amazing very laid-back very accommodating captain Charli and Captain. Travis made sure that we had a great time. I highly recommend booking with these guys after a day on the water. We quickly became friends and knew that we would want to do this again with them. Always remember one thing it is fishing, not catching you cannot control the weather. You cannot control the tide. You cannot control water clarity. It just is what it is.. but knowing that any day fishing is better than any day at work is the key. Thank you, Captain Charli and Captain Travis, and we will definitely see you guys soon.!!

Great Day Fishing!

VERIFIED

My family of five went out with Captain Charlie and Alexis for a 3 hour fun fish. We had a wonderful time! We caught sharks, redfish, flounder and speckled trout; some were keepers! The crew worked very hard to make sure we got the most out of our experience - from baiting our hooks to keeping our lines in the water. If we are ever in the area again, we would definitely go back. Highly recommend!
