Captain Carlos can put you on the iguanas! Help put a dent in this invasive species humanely & legally. Captain Carlos will provide you with top of the line Air Rifles and guidance to ensure you have a fantastic time on his trip! Don't just book with anyone, book with a U.S.C.G licensed and insured Captain who has the knowledge and skill to take these beauties down the right way. Our private Iguana Charters take place aboard a 19' center console bay boat. We use a .22 caliber air rifle with a scope as well as a noose to hunt the iguanas. This boat is powered by a 2021 Suzuki 150hp engine. The boat is equipped with Garmin Electronics and a Minn Kota trolling motor. This hunting/fishing charter service is very family oriented and welcomes all ages and groups. Our recommended minimum age to utilize our air rifles is 10 years old. However, it all depends on the child and their hunting experience. Meet up location can occasionally change depending on the day and where the best action is in the area, but Carlos will commonly pick up his guests from The Hive Waterfront Restaurant & Tiki in Lantana, FL. The hive is located at 2412 Floral Rd, Lantana, FL 33462. It is a great place to grab some delicious food and drinks after your hunt! This charter will give you the experiences and moments that you will never forget! Read More

What types of rifle hunting trips are common?

Hog hunting is the most popular type of hunting for rifle hunting as well as alligator hunting, invasive species hunting, and big game hunting.

The most commonly sought after species for rifle hunting are: 1. hog, 2. alligator, 3. iguana, 4. green-winged teal, and 5. coyote.

How much does a rifle hunting hunting trip cost?

Prices rifle hunting can range anywhere from about $600 to $7,200, but the average price for a half day trip rifle hunting is $3,316. The average price for a full day trip rifle hunting is $3,015.

Is booking a hunting guide worth the money?

Hiring a guide provides a number of benefits and many choose to book a hunting guide for a combination of experience, local knowledge, convenience, and cost-effectiveness.

Working with experienced hunting guides who know the best local spots and techniques can dramatically increase your odds of a great day. Having someone who is outside every day and knows the area like the back of their hand is going to give you the best chances of success.

Booking a guide is also more cost effective, especially if you only get out a handful of times per year. When you consider all of the costs you would incur on your own such as the price of a boat, maintenance, insurance, gas, high-quality gear, repairs, and more, you’ll find that DIY is sometimes not worth the expense.

Even if you’ve got a great setup already in your backyard, booking a guide also provides a great opportunity to experience new techniques, new locations, or even a chance at a new target species to knock off the bucket list.

What month is best for going on a rifle hunting trip?

The most popular season to go on a rifle hunting trip is spring, and most hunters book their trips 42 days in advance.

    Jusin was able to put together a great Cast and Blast trip for us.  He does work very hard to put together a good trip.  Fishing for Peacocks, he did make several moves to various spots and successfully put us on fish.  Hunting for iguanas, again he was able to put us on them for a total of 25 iguanas.  Lunch was very good, and along with good weather made for a really good trip, would definitely recommend.

    We could have brought home 50+ iguanas if we could hit the broadside of a barn! These folks will put you in the middle of them, all you need to do is be able to shoot!! This was our first trip ever and our expectations were far exceeded.

    Capt. Rolland was an excellent guide he provided great equipment and education on the iguanas that we hunted. The action was consistent throughout the hunt. Capt. Rolland has an eagle eye to spot the iguana’s which keeps the hunt moving along with good numbers of iguanas.

    Captain Bill is exactly what a guide should be. He was professional, funny, knowledgeable and I felt like I had known him for years. I had two first time hunters with me that had an amazing and safe time. He put us in a game rich environment where we were very successful! Thanks

    The trip was excellent. Kassie was very helpful in finding the iguanas as we had a hard time seeing them in the beginning. She was great with communication before the trip as well. Lots of cold drinks and a great flat bottom boat making it easier to aim and provided a smoother ride. I highly recommend. We will be using her in the future for other trips. Maybe a hog hunt with her next time

    Trip: West Palm Iguana Hunting

  • ★★★★★
    Captain Experiences - I discussed my trip (with Captain Janot) with Jake from Captain Experiences on Sunday 07/28/24. My Egyptian Goose and Iguana hunt with Captain Janot: Pros: Janot was a nice, pleasant guy with a clean boat, who gave me good safety instructions and had plenty of cold beverages. He made some adjustments to accommodate my health and age impairments. Janot got me on a good Egyptian Goose that I shot for a mounter in the first 30 minutes of the hunt. Cons: Janot hunted me for only 3.25 hours instead of the contracted 4 hours. Janot took me to his "honey hole" and we found darn few iguanas; Janot even openly admitted that the City had very recently been in the "honey hole" to take out the iguanas. Instead of 1) taking me to another hunting area with a substantial number of shootable iguanas or 2) letting me know ahead of time that the City had all but wiped out the iguana crop so I could try to book another hunt with some other outfitter or 3) hooking me up with another outfitter, Janot chose to take me to an area he knew was nearly devoid of iguanas. And Yes, there was a few, but nearly all of the iguanas that we saw were less than 1.5 pounds. Prior to the hunt, Janot told me that I should be able to harvest 15-20 and maybe as many as 30 iguanas depending on how long it would take us to get me a goose. In 2.75 hours, he managed to get me 6 iguanas - a good 5 pounder, a tailless 4 pounder, two 1.25 pounders and two .75 pounders. We may have seen about 200 total iguanas of which about 28-30 were shootable. Of those 28-30 shootable iguanas, we harvested only 6, wounded about 14-15 that got away, and missed about 8-10. Janot did not have a retrieving dog which would have really helped with those wounded iguanas that made it into the water or that crawled away into an area where shooting wasn't possible but retrieval was possible. All in all, based solely on my hunt with Janot, I give Janot as a man a thumbs up. I give Janot as a boat captain a thumbs up. I give Janot as an outfitter a thumbs down. And I give the hunt two thumbs down. I would never ever book another hunt with Janot unless he paid my way back and forth to the hunt site from Montana and gave me a free hunt. This was an expensive hunt that was almost completely a bust !!! Janot could have and should have done much better! Kim Latterell Billings, Montana

    Captain Carlos was awesome! He provided us with a great time on his boat for our iguana hunt. He had a great attitude, was very informative, and had a lot of patience since we were newbs to shooting iguanas. He definitely knows the area and what to do, but most importantly knows how to make the trip memorable. We would for sure book another tour/trip for a different adventure with him if we decide to come back to Florida. Thank you Captain Carlos! You’re the man.

    Charlie was a fantastic guide, my buddies and I will definitely contact him again for iguana, Python, or gator hunts. We’re military and got along great with him. Took us to a nice canal, not much water traffic at all, so we were first on the water hunting, not picking up scraps left from other hunters. Went during the summer, which winter is better, but still shot over 20 iguanas. Was a great time, highly recommend Charlie.

    Captain Bill took me, my son in law and two grandsons on an iguana hunt. We all had a great time and a fair amount of success under Captain Bills guidance. He was patient and entertaining with an emphasis on safety. Thanks for the good time Captain Bill. It would have been easier for me to find the boat ramp if I had the address rather than a pin.
