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!

BOOK HERE FOR A GREAT TIME!!!
6 Hour – Nearshore Trip - 1:00 PM on December 4, 20252 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!

Captain Charlie was AMAZING
6 Hour – Nearshore Trip on December 12, 20254 adults
Captain Charlie was on time and had us on fish quick! My 9 year old son was with us for his first time and he had 2 fish before any of the rest of us got bait!! Lmao it was fabulous! We stayed on the fish all day! I wanted to fish for some big fish so he baited me up and I ended up with an 8' shark! Amazing day! If you have kids this Captain knows how to treat them! This guy has grade A gear to go along with it! Book with this guy!

Relaxing, Fun Day for the Family
4 Hour - Inshore (PM) on December 18, 20253 adults2 children
Our family very much enjoyed our 1/2 day fishing with Captain Charlie. He was great with the boys, taught us all a good many things, moved us around to a few different spots, and we caught some fun fish while enjoying a good day on the water and good conversation. We also appreciated his skill in cleaning our catch so we could return to our AirBNB and prepare the fillets for dinner!

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++
