Rates & Trip Comparison

Every trip we run, side by side: price, who it covers, hours, start time and boat. Prices are for the whole boat, not per person.

Every charter is private, so the price is for the boat, not per person. The base price covers up to 2 people on inshore half and full days and on morning, afternoon and full-day scalloping trips, on either boat. It covers up to 4 on combo trips, bottom fishing, the seasonal gag and sheepshead trips and every offshore trip.

Each extra person adds $50 to $100 depending on the trip, up to 6 on board. The Overnight Middle Grounds charter is 4 max.

Every trip includes tackle, bait, ice, water, fishing licenses (our FWC charter license covers every guest) and cleaning and bagging of your catch. Scalloping trips add snorkel, mask, fins and a cooler.

All charters are subject to a fuel surcharge of up to $200, depending on trip distance, only when gas prices rise above $4 a gallon. Customary tipping for mates is 15–20%.

See Rates.

No. Native Charters FL is an FWC-licensed charter, and that license covers every guest on board. You do not need your own Florida saltwater fishing license or the State Reef Fish Angler designation. The same coverage applies to scalloping. Just bring a valid ID.

Everything you need to fish: rods, reels, tackle, bait, ice and water, plus fishing license coverage for everyone on board. At the dock we clean and bag your catch, and on inshore and scalloping trips we take pictures for you. Scalloping trips add snorkel, mask, fins and a cooler.

The Overnight Middle Grounds charter also includes food and snacks. On every other trip, you bring your own food, drinks and sun protection.

The captain decides. Weather cancellations are at the captain's discretion, and we watch the forecast closely in the days before every trip. Long offshore runs get the hardest look, because they mean hours in open Gulf water.

If we call a trip off, we will contact you about rescheduling. If a forecast worries you, call us before cancelling on your own.

Booked online: FishingBooker’s cancellation terms shown at checkout apply — currently free cancellation up to 3 days before inshore trips, 7 days before scalloping and 1 day before offshore trips. Booked by phone: deposits are non-refundable, but you can reschedule with at least 48 hours’ notice to a date within 120 days of your original trip. Weather cancellations are the captain’s call and are rescheduled, not lost.
