Captain Chris has been on the water here in Lee county for over 20 years and just 3 years as a guide and mate. I travel the state fishing wherever and whenever I can. We are a family oriented business that is focused on making our customers happy and leave with only good memories. We have beach trips and fishing trips, shelling and much more. Captain Chris strives to be the best captain eveyday on the water and hopes to bring you an unforgettable experience here in Swfl. We can make it out to the outer islands and have a secluded beach area fish from shore or the boat in the same general area for groups that can’t make up their mind weather to fish or just enjoy the sights from the white sand beaches

Great job as a Captain just a windy day Iguanas were not high up in the trees. We did have some shots lower level.

My opinion: Capt. Chris was the best, and that's coming from a former 100-ton Coast Guard-certified captain who ran fishing charters in the northeast for years. His boat was clean and well-provisioned, he came prepared, listened to what we wanted to do and delivered on every one of our requests. Along the way he provided great conversation, insights and local color and left us with an unforgettable day. Should we go back to the Cayo...

Chris was great! There were several iguanas that he spotted that I could hardly see myself after he pointed them out. I plan to do this trip again in the future. There was never a dull moment, if there weren’t lizards to shoot at he had fishing poles ready to be casted in.

Had a great time with captain Chris! Got in a lot of shooting and helped out with the invasive iguana population control. Would definitely recommend him if you’re looking to try this hunt.

Chris did an awesome job guiding us on our iguana hunt. The day was very windy and he said that ther were a lot less iguanas out. He managed to find us some in the afternoon and stayed out a little longer to help us get some iguanas. We ended the day with 5 in the cooler, and we missed a few more. Chris was very patient with my boys and we had a great

Christopher was our guide for an iguana hunt in Cape Coral on January 19th, 2026, and the guy flat-out delivered. It was a cold day and the iguanas were barely moving, but Christopher never slowed down, never made excuses, and never stopped grinding to make sure we had a great time.

He stayed locked in the entire hunt, kept pushing, adapted to the conditions, and went above and beyond by keeping us out an extra hour...

He stayed locked in the entire hunt, kept pushing, adapted to the conditions, and went above and beyond by keeping us out an extra hour
past the scheduled time just to make sure we got the most out of the experience. That kind of dedication is rare and speaks volumes about how much he actually cares about his clients.

If you want a guide who works hard, stays positive, and refuses to phone it in even when conditions aren’t ideal—book Christopher. No hesitation. I’d hunt with him again in a heartbeat and recommend him to anyone looking for a legit iguana hunt in Cape Coral.

We had an excellent trip! From the time we left the ramp to the time we returned, captain chris was excellent! He spotted monster-iguanas, when we missed them. Plenty of iguanas and perfect equipment. Thanks again to Chris and we will be back!
