My husband and I have fished bay, off shore and deep sea many of times. Today we took our 5 and 8 yo for the first time and had the best experience possible! We got a lovely detailed call the day before our trip and felt very well prepared! Capt. Wayne was so good and patient with the kids! The boat was clean and comfortable and even had a potty for the kids!! He put us on quite a few fish my son lost count! I have already told several of my friends and family with kids about him since going out this morning and will use him again if were ever back in Destin area (which was an easy 25min drive btw)
Our family had a great time with Captain Wayne! He was very proactive and accomodating, moving our booked time to avoid some strong wind that would’ve hindered our trip. He was patient and showed us what to do, and the fish were sure biting! We were able to keep enough to get two meals out of it, and Captain Wayne cleaned them for us then they cooked them for us right there at the marina. It was a great afternoon, I’ve been recommending it to everyone since we went!
Our group had a mix of experienced fishers and beginner fishers. It was a more intimate fishing experience, which is what we were aiming for! Saw some wildlife: dolphin and turtle. But also caught a lot of fish; and kept what we could. It was nice that Captain Wayne kept monitoring the fish and moved when we needed to. He was also patient with us, since we had a 2 hour drive (from Alabama) and had some delays. Can't wait for some fish tacos tonight!
Wanted a different experience for my son on our beach vacation. This was a great choice. Captain Wayne’s communication was excellent. He worked hard baiting our lines and getting us in position to catch some fish. While I was feeding fish, my son was catching fish, snapper, redfish etc. We had a good time. If we are back in the area, we will definitely be calling Captain Wayne for another adventure.
We had an amazing time! Our captain was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. We caught plenty of fish and had a great day out on the ocean. Definitely a memorable experience and highly recommend!

This was our first time going out in a fishing boat in the gulf, we didn’t know what to expect. The weather was not favorable for our booked time, Captain Alexander watched the weather and suggested another time and we planned another trip two days out, but the captain keep watching the weather and found the afternoon the day before would be good wether so we moved the trip up. It was a little choppy but the boat and Captain Wayne handled the waves well. He put us on some good spots where we were catching fish with almost every drop of the line. We had a great afternoon and Captain Wayne was pleasant and very friendly. We would recommend “Just Add Water” to our family and friends.
Captain Wayne did a great job taking us to the fish! Caught several triggerfish, red snapper and vermillion out in the Gulf! Great trip on a great day! Would recommend and go again for sure!
Captain Wayne was ready to go and did a great job keeping the lines in the water! Appreciated the assistance and guidance throughout the trip.
Captain Wayne was prompt , water ready knowledgeable of the Gulf. At one point we were reeling in a red snapper and we saw a mahi chasing our red. Capt quickly grabbed another rod and tossed it towards the mahi, he snagged the mahi and let us reel him in. Highly recommend this Captain.

captain Wayne was great and very knowledgeable... he did everything in-between casts to make sure that are poles were back in the water and catching fish as fast as possible.. me and my wife caught about 50 fish and at least 10 different species including multiple grouper (gag and red) red snapper, Vermillion and more... thank again captain and i will be booking again soon

I have owned a boat since 2003 and now have a Nauticstar 26' center console with twin 150 Yamaha outboards. I have been fishing in this area since 1973, when my dad was stationed at Eglin Air Force Base. Before becoming a captain, I worked as a chef for 35 years. I have had a love for fishing since I was 3. What I love the most is fishing offshore in the gulf, so I have a lot of experience bottom fishing and trolling. Since I'm a skilled chef, I can give advice on how to cook it at home or recommend some of the best local restaurants to cook your catch.
