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.

    This is the boat you’ve been looking for!!!

    6 Hour - Inshore • 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 • 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 • 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

    Thank you Tony, sure do appreciate you taking the time to represent your trip. I sincerely enjoyed the time with you and Bree. I would fish with you guys again anytime ! Thank you again! Cap’n Charlie- Nautical Native🎣

    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!

What's biting with Nautical Native Fishing Adventures in Bradenton

Inshore action is all about Drum, whether it's Red or Black. The peak season is over, but that only means fewer people on rivers and lakes that are still full of fish. Out there, you could snatch a wide array of bottom dwellers.

Hot but still a hot bite!

Jun 27, 2025 • Bradenton
Alot of everything still very active. Very nice size Spanish Mackerel and top slot speckled trout in the flats along with Cobia mixed in. Nice action. Look for Mangrove Snapper to add to the list for July as the bigger fish move in shallow. Alot of fun and prob one of my more favorite fish to target for the dinner table.

The Spring Kingfish run is in full swing with these water temps finally hitting that magic number. The bite is incredible right now. If you want to feel that hard pull and the sound of your drag screaming off line this is the time for sure !! Lets Go ?

Fire’d up inshore bite !!

Apr 24, 2025 • Bradenton
The inshore bite has been nothing short of epic the last few weeks and looks to continue with these low 70’s water temps. Trout, Snook and Redfish are chewing !!! And these fish are grown !!?
