This is the boat you’ve been looking for!!!
6 Hour - Inshore on February 18, 2026 • 3 adults

It’s a big decision deciding where to spend limited vacation time and hard earned money, but Captain Charlie is who the other captains were calling today for information. Captain is professional, courteous, prompt, and a lifelong native of these waters, my family and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to book with him, and cannot wait to comeback for another trip. I would not hesitate to bring young or old anglers either, Captain Charlie is amazingly patient and after just a short conversation you’ll learn he truly appreciates sharing his home waters with anglers of any skill level. Great stable boat, good gear, and someone who truly worked to put us on fish today. If you read this, thanks again for the day Captain Charlie, the ceviche is “cooking” as we speak! See you soon!

Great Experience with Native Nautical
6 Hour – Nearshore Trip on March 14, 2026 • 4 adults

We had a great time chartering with Captain Charlie and Native Nautical Charters. Charlie is a consummate professional, he has a fantastic boat and gear, and tons of local knowledge. We really enjoyed exploring multiple fishing spots and catching a variety of fish. At the end of the charter, Charlie filleted the fish we caught and gave us some great tips on how to cook each fish. Captain Charlie ensured that everybody on the trip had a good time and learned something new. We can’t wait to charter with him again!

Reported catch:
Spanish Mackerel

BOOK HERE FOR A GREAT TIME!!!
6 Hour – Nearshore Trip - 1:00 PM on December 4, 2025 • 2 adults

Captain charlie was fantastic. Communication before the trip was second to none. Boat was beautiful and the gear was in great shape. Everything was ready to go when we arrived. He knew the waters like the back of his hand and after a safe trip out into the gulf we started to catch fish immediately. He did everything in his power to make sure we were comfortable and having a good time. We did an afternoon trip to catch the sunset. Will book with Charlie again on the next trip down. Book now and you wont regret it!

Response from Captain

A true Florida fishing native! Born and raised in the Tampa Bay Area. My passion has always been getting out on the water. From deep water to shallow mangrove shorelines, I have fished it all. I've had the opportunity to learn so much about these waters over the past 35 years. I truly love meeting people and sharing great experiences on our amazing open waters and estuaries. I look forward to sharing these experiences with others while catching a wide variety fish. Your nautical adventures will be on board a 2021 Parker 25' center console. The boat is equipped with twin Yamaha engines and a Rhodan trolling motor. The Parker center console has a versatile hull which provides a comfortable, dry ride, ready to take you offshore, inshore, or island hopping with your family and friends. We will be cruising from one fishery to the next quickly and comfortably.

    We caught 3 flounders that we were able to take home. We did catch red groupers, cobia, and few others that we weren't able to keep due to season and size. There was lots of bites. A few of the family members got sick, but the crew was so amazing and attentive on making sure everyone was okay during the trip. Definitely recommend.

    Captain Charlie was really easy to talk with and make request. He was great with all the people on the trip and even though it was a slow biting day, he was constantly moving and trying to get us fish.

    Went out with 3 teenage boys and we had a fantastic time - Captain Charlie was super involved and kept the boys totally interested until the very end. He was on top of it the whole time, and still kept the vibe super fun and relaxing. He’s an expert on the wildlife and we learned a ton too. We would highly recommend!
