"Captain Jeff made room for our family on Easter Sunday, short notice, and it was great! We caught lots of fish and saw more dolphins than any dolphin excursion we've been on."Charter guest Google review
The Captains
A husband-and-wife team who turned "livin’ the dream" into a family business — and have the repeat customers to prove it.
Since 2012
Jeff & Christy Littlejohn
Two captains, one dream
Just Livin the Dream Charters opened in 2012, and it's been a family operation ever since. Capt. Jeff and Capt. Christy Littlejohn each run their own boat out of Bonita Bay Marina — which means twice the availability, and the option to book both boats and bring the whole crew.
They've spent over a decade learning every shallow, grass flat, mangrove island, dock, pass and bridge from North Naples to Fort Myers Beach. The result: guests catch fish, kids stay entertained, and most families book again the next time they're in town.
- Family-friendly by design — calm protected waters, shade, and a restroom onboard
- Patient teachers — first-timers and kids welcome on every trip
- Local knowledge — 13+ years guiding Estero Bay exclusively
- Flexible — if one boat is booked, the other captain probably has your date
