About Your Trip

Target Invasive Giants on a South Florida Iguana Hunt with Brett!

Climb aboard Captain Brett’s 22’ Sterling center console for a truly unique South Florida adventure—hunting invasive Green Iguanas along the canal systems of Plantation and the surrounding areas. These fast-paced, adrenaline-pumping trips are as wild as they are important, helping to manage one of the region’s most destructive invasive species.

Armed with.22 caliber air rifles—provided for your trip—you and your crew will patrol the
canal banks and mangrove-lined shorelines, taking aim at these colorful and surprisingly quick reptiles. No prior experience is needed, and Brett will walk you through safe handling, target acquisition, and ethical shot placement, making this trip ideal for all experience levels.

Hunters must be at least 10 years old, and kids between 10–12 are welcome with adult supervision. Whether you're looking to spend quality time with family or just try something off the beaten path, this 4-hour hunt offers excitement with a purpose.

Your vessel for the day is a 2018 22’ Sterling center console, powered by a 300 HP Suzuki engine. Outfitted with livewells, coolers, and ample storage, the boat is designed for comfort, maneuverability, and quick shots at shoreline targets. There’s Bluetooth audio on board, so feel free to set the mood with your favorite playlist as you hunt.

Trips are available at 7:00 AM and 2:00 PM, and Brett can be flexible with departure locations depending on what works best for your group. All necessary gear is included—just bring sun protection, drinks, and a sense of adventure.

With space for up to 4 guests, this trip is kid-friendly, disability-friendly, and a truly unforgettable way to explore Florida’s waterways while helping the ecosystem. It’s not your average day on the water—but it might just be your favorite.

Had the best time with Brett on our iguana hunt. Brett was hilarious and knew exactly where every hiding spot was regardless of the fact that it’s been so cold in Florida for the iguanas. Added bonus was he’s got the best playlist going and really just made for a relaxing and fun hunt. I usually get sea sick and he constantly checked on me.

I booked this trip because my son wanted to catch some peacock bass and I wanted to hunt iguana so it worked for both of us. We started out hunting iguanas. It was fun but very challenging to spot iguanas hidden in the trees. Captin Brett was a pro at it. After a couple hours of hunting we started fishing. We were catching alot of fish but the peacock seem elude us. Captin Brett worked very hard to put us on some peacock and after a couple hours of fishing and a several different locations we got into some and continued to catch them for the next hour. Then whole trip was awesome and a great success. Thank again Captin Brett

I have a mixed review regarding Captain Brett. The night before our trip was to begin, he called to inform us that we needed a Florida fishing license. The description of the trip specifically said that no Florida license was required because the captain would have one for the entire boat. We had to scramble to obtain one from the Florida recreation website. This also cost more than what they said was covered in the trip. We found out later that the captain simply did not want to wait in line to get his commercial fishing license for his boat, which he said was an all-day affair. He was making the customers obtain their own licenses. It wouldn't have been too big a deal if he or the Captain Experiences website would have informed us up front to give us time to make the arrangements.

On the positive side, the fishing conditions were challenging on the day of our trip with high winds, but Captain Brett stayed out with us long past our allotted four hours to insure we caught some fish. Both me and my brother-in-law eventually caught the two biggest Jack Crevalle we had ever landed. I did hook a tarpon. and fought him for about 15 minutes, before he got off the line.

Overall, it was a fun trip, but the licensing stress was unnecessary.
