Florida Native Charters in Key Biscayne

Florida Native Charters is Captain Tom Weber’s Key Biscayne guide service. Trips focus on Biscayne Bay’s flats, channels, bridges and nearby inshore water. Weber plans the fishing around tides, seasonal fish movements and the experience of his guests.

Contact and booking details

Tom Weber’s local focus

Weber describes four decades of South Florida light-tackle fishing and more than twenty years guiding after moving to Miami. He offers instruction for newcomers as well as trips for anglers interested in more technical sight fishing.

The boat page identifies a 2017 Robalo Cayman 226 bay boat with a Minn Kota I-Pilot trolling motor. It can hold position for bridge and structure fishing. Camera and aerial-video equipment are also mentioned, but ask whether footage is included or available on your trip.

Three published trip choices

The site lists a four-hour half day from $750, a five-hour tarpon special at $850 and a six-hour inshore day at $950. The six-hour option is called a full inshore day here, so do not assume it means eight hours.

Targets include tarpon, bonefish, permit, snook, barracuda and sharks. The captain recommends choosing what suits the month and conditions. A tide-based tarpon trip may begin at a different time from a general family outing.

What is provided

Published inclusions cover tackle, bait, fuel, licenses, ice and cold drinks. The charter page also mentions rain gear, photos and fish cleaning, plus snacks or lunch on certain trip descriptions. Confirm the food arrangement for your selected package.

Bring suitable shoes, sun protection and any personal items discussed with Tom. Polarized glasses help anglers see into shallow water. Ask about passenger capacity and the boat’s seating before adding guests, since the reviewed pages do not state a clear maximum.

Arrange the day directly

Call or email with your date and preferred fishing. Online payment options include a deposit, full payment or a specified balance through PayPal. Verify availability and the required amount before completing a payment.

The reviewed pages do not clearly set out a cancellation deadline. Request the refund and weather terms in writing. Use the captain’s current advice when choosing a target, rather than treating an older fishing report or a broad seasonal calendar as a promise for your particular day.

Details checked October 4, 2026, using the operator’s published information. Rates, boats, meeting points and policies can change; confirm the final trip details directly. Listed species describe possible targets, not a guaranteed catch or an open harvest season.
