Captain Chris Lenahan is a South Florida native whose passion for fishing is the compass to his life. Growing up in the small beach town of Lantana, Florida, Captain Chris began his journey fishing the local area bridges and inlets with live bait and jigs. Once he got his first skiff, fly fishing quickly became a passion. While on the hunt for 20+lb snook, he gained knowledge of all of the surrounding waters. Whether he is sight casting on the flats of Florida bay in Everglades National Park or sneaking up on Snook in the Palm Beach Intracoastal Waterway, Captain Chris knows where to find the catch you have been looking for. Outside of his passion for fishing Chris owns several rental units in the area, loves real estate investing, business, and has an entrepreneurial mindset.
