Captain Dan Dixon
Everglades City, FL
Meet Your Captain
Born and raised in Naples, FL, Capt. Dan Dixon took to the water at a young age and developed a knack for finding and catching all species of fish that call Southwest Florida home. He is a USCG licensed and insured full-time fishing guide.
With over 30 years of experience fishing the Everglades and surrounding waters, Capt. Dan has developed an intimate knowledge of the fishery that is unmatched. He knows where the fish are, what they're eating, and how to get you on them.
Capt. Dan is a patient guide whose main goals are to have fun while safely showing his clients the awesomeness of the Everglades. He is equally comfortable with first-time anglers as he is with seasoned pros, and he tailors each trip to the experience level and goals of his clients.
He operates a Pathfinder 2200 Tournament Edition bay boat powered by a 175 HP Yamaha four-stroke engine — a setup that is perfectly suited for the shallow, technical waters of the Everglades backcountry.

The Pathfinder 2200 is the perfect boat for the Everglades backcountry. It's small enough to safely navigate the shallow flats and mangrove tunnels, yet big enough to ride comfortably in moderate seas.
