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.

Minnesota, US•Member since 20265.0Verifieddolphins, sharks, and iguanas oh my!
4 Hour Fishing Trip (AM) • 4 adultsWe (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
