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 Tita will guide you across the local waters in a spacious, comfortable and very safe 25’ twin engine vessel.

You’ll be exploring all the different locations of the area aboard a Parker center console model from 2021. It is 25’ and has ample room for groups of up to 6 guests. It boasts a powerful Rhodan 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 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 in Bradenton and let Nautical Native Fishing Adventures take you on a fishing adventure!

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.
