We (4 of us) enjoyed fishing with Just living the Dream charters. Captain Jeff was polite, respectful, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Captain Jeff was knowledgeable about the area and wild life; he took time to show us iguanas, birds, and dolphins with being respectful to the wildlife. He put us right on the fish, explained techniques on how to fish and how to care for the fish after we caught them. We enjoyed catching Bonnet head sharks, sheep head, mangrove snapper, and a catfish, while catching a tan (burn lol). Captain Jeff even took time to chat with a very chatty young girl from the other boat on the 2 way radio. We would recommend Just living a Dream charters to anyone and we will be looking forward to book with them again!!! thank you so much!!! sincerely, Jared
Thanks for the review! We’re so glad you enjoyed fishing the back bays of Bonita Springs , Naples, Fort Myers Beach & Estero bay with us. Hope to see you back on the boat for another family fishing trip soon! Thanks Captain Jeff & Captain Christy Just Livin the Dream Charters
Captain Christy’s friendly personality, coupled with her knowledge of wildlife behavior and fishing talent ranks right up there with the best outdoor experiences I’ve had. It was a truly special outing, one my Grandson and I will never forget. WE WILL BE BACK!!
Captain Jeff was awesome. On a very hot day, he kept us as cool as possible and kept catching fish everywhere we stopped. Caught many different kinds of fish including 2 bonnethead sharks. Would recommend this charter.
We had a small party of 3 for our trip with limited fishing experience and Captain Jeff guided us through areas to fish in addition to tips for the best way to use our fishing gear. Our kids had a great time, caught fish and enjoyed seeing some wildlife as we boated.
Thank you so much for the 5-star review! We love hosting families and showing them the best of Southwest Florida. Whether we are fishing the mangroves near Bonita Springs or exploring the backwaters of Estero Bay, our goal is to provide a safe, fun, and educational family-friendly fishing charter. We’re glad you enjoyed the trip, and we can't wait to see you back on the water with us in Bonita Springs, Fort Myers Beach or Naples soon! Capt Jeff & Capt Christy Just Livin the Dream Charters

If this boat is not available, check our other 2 listings. Captain Jeff Littlejohn grew up in Jacksonville, Florida. He fell in love with the water at a young age, splitting his summers between Myrtle Beach, SC, and Jacksonville Beach. In 2000, Jeff moved to Fort Myers. His wife, Captain Christy Lee, holds a Master Captain License, is a Native of Fort Myers, shares his passion for fishing, and runs most of the fishing charters on the 24' boat. Captain Jeff has turned his passion into a successful career, often guiding his guests through the beautiful waters of Estero Bay and the Gulf of Mexico.They say if you love what you do, you'll never work a day in your life. For Capt. Christy, that started at age 5. Growing up in the waters of Fort Myers and Bonita Springs wasn't just a childhood—it was her training ground. From her first rod to running Just Livin' the Dream Charters, these mangroves and flats are more than just a job site; they're home. When you book with a native, you aren't just getting a boat ride—you're getting decades of local secrets and a lifetime of passion. Ready to see why we call it 'Livin' the Dream'? Let's get you on the water. ?
