Born And Raised Charters
Born And Raised Charters welcomes you for a fun-filled day of tight lines at the 10,000 Islands. Captain Tyler Gresham will meet you in Goodland, Florida and provide everything you need for the day. Climb aboard his beautiful boat perfectly laid out to tear up some fish!
Your boat for the day is a 24’ Shearwater center console that can accommodate up to 5 anglers. It runs on a 300 HP Yamaha V6 engine, uses modern GPS and VHF radio technology for efficient movement, and is equipped with a livewell. The boat has got a flybridge, a wireless trolling motor so you can fish more quietly, and an ice-box for storing fish.
You and the captain will be using light and heavy tackle to attract Goliath Grouper, Jack Crevalle, Tarpon, Snook, Permit, Pompano, and other interesting species. It’s up to you whether you’ll take home the fish you catch or release it back into the water. Kids are also welcome to join your trip, so bring the whole family and spend a wonderful day together in nature.
Captain Tyler will take care of all the fishing rods, reels, tackle, live bait, lures, drinks, licenses, and will even clean and bag your catch so it’s ready for cooking as soon as you get back home. Just bring some snacks and you’ll be set to go.
Join in for a memorable fishing trip, Born And Raised Charters is waiting for you!

3/4 Day Trip
Perfect day of fishing
Captain Tyler was amazing. We did a 6 hour nearshore trip and it didn’t disappoint. Captain Tyler had us on the fish every time we stoped at a spot. We caught over 50 fish during our trip. We even landed a Goliath grouper. He was very knowledgeable about the fish and very patient with my youngest son. We couldn’t have had a better captain for our trip. I highly recommend Captain Tyler and will certainly book with him again next time we are in town. Thanks again Captain!

3 Hour Sunset Charter
Great fishing trip!
We booked the trip while in Marco Island on spring break. We chose this guide for the 5 star rating and, received a 5 star experience. Tyler is honest, laid back and was great with the kids. He called prior to trip to let us know fishing wouldn’t be great due to the weather and asked if we wanted to reschedule. Due to our limited time here, we kept the tour and adjusted a bit to include a “scenic” boat ride with a shelling stop. At the end, we did catch about 10 fish including a pompano and baby black tip shark! Overall, a great 3 hr experience.

3 Hour Charter
Tyler rocks!
It was an awesome three hours! We fish for small fish and caught many different varieties, and then we went for larger fish. We didn’t catch any larger fish, but we did see a tarpon jump out of the water and take a spin. The best part about Tyler is his knowledge and love of fishing.
