    The best time was had

    4 Hour Fishing Trip (PM) on January 8, 2025 • 4 adults

    We had a wonderful (and chilly!) afternoon with Captain Christy! She was so knowledgeable about all of the birds and fish, knew her way to some fun fishing spots, was kind and patient with those us us who were not experienced fishermen, and helped all catch enough giant (ok, giant to me) fish for a very filling dinner—she even cleaned it and filleted it! Would 100% go back out with Captain Christy, we had the best time.

    Capt..Christy was the perfect host. She was observant of each of our fishing needs and accommodated each of us accordingly.

    Epic trip, whole family caught lots of fish!!

    4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on July 16, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 children

    Captain Christy was a delight from start to finish. Beautiful, spacious boat, well appointed. She paid extra attention to our kiddos and ensured they caught plenty of fish and was always at the ready to bait up our lines. We saw plenty of dolphins and birds along the way! Variety of fish was awesome, we caught so many I lost count- even had a small shark!! Easily the best charter we’ve ever been on. Book with Just Livin the Dream, you won’t regret it!!

    Great Day with Captain Christy

    4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on August 11, 2024 • 6 adults • 1 child

    Captain Christy put us on fish, when things slowed she moved us to another spot and we caught more fish. We had kids that had very little experience fishing, Christy did a great job showing them the tricks of the trade and they all caught fish. And I have to mention that her attention to making sure we had a safe day was fantastic. Great day, threw some back, but had enough keepers to make dinner for the six of us. Highly recommend.

    Fantastic Family Fishing

    4 Hour Fishing Trip (PM) on March 14, 2025 • 6 adults • 3 children

    Our family of 6 had a fantastic time out fishing. We all caught a wide variety of fish! The time flew by. Beautiful scenery. Easy for our 10 and 12 year olds to catch fish, and challenging enough for our 16 and 19 year olds. Perfect family day fishing on the water.

    Family Fishing Trip

    4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) on August 17, 2024 • 4 adults

    We went for a half day fishing trip with Captain Christy. Captain Christy was very knowledgeable about the best fishing spots as well as the local history. The boat had lots of space and was comfortable. The best part was that the fish were always biting and we caught lots of fish. Highly recommend.

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'?

    Great day on the water. Captain Christie was a great guide. Was hoping for a larger size of fish caught. But I understand that we tried and the bigger fish did not play. Overall a great day
