Florida Alligator Hunting

Watch the Water.
Cast Your Line.
Hunt Florida Gators.

Cap'n Ron's Fully Guided Alligator Hunt with Rods, Hooks, & Reels.

Team up with a skilled guide, cast your line, and hang on tight as you come face-to-scales with one of Florida’s most legendary predators.

Meet Your Guide

Fully Guided Fun

Hunt alongside an experienced guide with the skills, stories, and know-how to keep things safe, smooth, and fun.

Patient, friendly, and right there with you from start to finish.

Snag a Gator

Hook, Line & Gator

Keep your eyes on the water, cast past that gator, and reel ’er back till you feel that hook grab hold.

Once you’re hooked up, start workin’ that gator toward shore while your guide talks you through every twist, turn, and tail slap!

Use a sturdy treble hook to latch onto a gator, then hang on tight—it’s gonna be one wild, heart-poundin’ ride!

How Big’s Your Bite?

When it comes to gators, size is a range—not a guarantee. Choose the range that fits your hunt and expect the smallest size in that range. If you snag something bigger, consider that the cherry on top!

SIZE AIN’T EVERYTHING, SUGAR...

It’s hard to judge how big he is when all you can see is the head! Most of that gator is hiding beneath the water, so your guide takes a good look from the eyes to the tip of the snout and uses years of experience to size him up.

Now, we can’t promise you an exact number of feet and inches—Mother Nature likes to keep a little mystery.

And sorry, size queens… if you’ve got your heart set on exactly nine feet, don’t choose the 6–9 foot range and expect a 9-footer every time. Expect the smaller end of your range, and if something bigger comes along… well, sugar, enjoy the extra inches!

Rifles and bows and spears—oh my!

Pick your weapon of choice—bring your own or ask about our available rental options.
