Unforgettable.

Inshore/Offshore Combo-(8hr)5 adults

We had an incredible time on our fishing trip! Captain Bobby was both professional and friendly. He worked hard to put us on the fish, and we caught plenty while having a great time doing it. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended!

    Best Captain and First Mate you could ask for!! Book with them now!!

    Bottom Fishing Half Day-(5hr)5 adults

    We had an absolutely incredible experience on our fishing charter today with Captain Bobby and his First Mate Alyssa! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure everyone in our group had an amazing time. We had three generations along for this trip, ranging from complete beginners to seasoned anglers, and Captain Bobby and Alyssa catered perfectly to everyone. They were patient and encouraging with those who were new to fishing while giving our experienced fishermen the freedom to really enjoy the sport. When the waters became choppy and a few members of our group started feeling seasick, both Captain Bobby and Alyssa were incredibly caring, attentive, and accommodating. Their kindness and genuine concern made all the difference. Not only are they exceptional guides, but they also have an endless wealth of knowledge about fishing and the rich history of Crystal River. We learned so much while creating memories that our family will cherish for years to come. If you’re considering a fishing charter, do yourself a favor and book with Native Fishing Charters. You won’t find a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and dedicated team. Thank you both for an unforgettable day on the water!

    Absolutely the best day evah!!

    Inshore Fishing Half Day-(5hr)2 adults

    I really don’t think I have had a better time on the water than what we experienced yesterday. As point of reference.. I’m from the Boston area with summers down the Cape, so I have spent lots of time on the water. The kindness shown to my 15 year old grandson melted my heart. There way no way Bobby(skipper) was going back in until our grandson snagged a big one. Mission accomplished !! What a wonderful experience.

    Had a blast!

    Bottom Fishing Half Day-(5hr)4 adults

    We booked an inshore trip with Native Charters and it was absolutely fantastic! Captain Bobby and his 1st mate (wife) Alyssa put us right on the fish immediately. We were targeting mangrove snapper and grunts, and we walked away with a great haul for dinner. They were incredibly knowledgeable, the gear was top-tier, and the boat was pristine. If you want a fun, productive day of fishing, book with these guys! We will definitely be back!

    Best charter you’ll ever book!

    Inshore Fishing Ful Day -(8hr)2 adults

    Captain Bobby and 1st mate Alyssa will treat you like family, show you how to be a great angler if you need guidance, and oh my you will reel in the fish! My 16 year old niece and I have come back to Crystal river 3 years in a row now for the sole purpose of going out on their charter, it has always been the highlight of our stay here. My teenager can be guarded and standoffish at times, but Bobby stepped right up, made her smile, be engaged, and feel like family; not a “customer “ he took her under his wing like she was his own niece. Captain Bobby is just a genuine, down home great guy. He takes you back to his place, cleans the fish, and offers hospitality that is rare these days. Native Charters is a 10 star ⭐️ review for me every time, I highly recommend you book with them. You won’t find a better captain and 1st mate to take you out for one of the best days of your life. We plan on coming back in 6 months, best memories ever! Thank you Captain Bobby and 1st mate Alyssa, we love you both!

    Awesome

    Offshore Fishing 30 Mile Max-(8hr)5 adults2 children

    This is our second year coming back to Bobby and Alyssa. They know we like getting a vatiety bag and we did just that! My two nieces on the boat had a blast and they always do so well with them! The first trip we did inshore/offshore and it was a great trip and we caught fist. If i had to say which one is better it would be the 30 mile off shore trip we just did. A bigger selection in fish and just so much fun!
