High Flying Saltwater Charters is a fishing adventure for people looking for a fun time on the water catching fish with a Capt who truly loves his job of helping make family and friends memories while in Destin.
Capt. Wes and Capt Stephen will make sure you have a fun day full of fishing. This involves 4 to 8-hour trips, mainly fishing for Snapper, Mackerel, Amberjack, Triggerfish, and Grouper, depending on the season and conditions on the day. On these trips, you can expect to use techniques such as light tackle, heavy tackle, bottom fishing, trolling, and jigging.
Your fishing adventure starts on a 24' Sea Born boat that can safely take up to 6 anglers. This boat comes with a GPS, radar an ice-box, livewells, and a wireless trolling motor.
20 mins free time included for the trips across the bay. All rods, reels, and terminal tackle are included in the price so you can focus on what really matters, fishing. Your trip will include all the necessary fishing licenses for the trip. Im cheaper than the competition because im retired from the military and i want to
make it affordable.
Book your trip now and hit the water with High Flying Saltwater Charters.

Great Pinch Hitter
4hr Offshore on May 5, 2026 • 1 adult
Captain Wes Ivy was unavailable, so Captain Wayne Alexander from Just Add Water Charters in Niceville stepped in. I told Wayne I hoped for action and variety. Action? Check, 19 fish. Variety? Check, 4 red snappers, 8 vermilion snappers, 4 gray triggerfish, 1 scamp, 1 grunt, and 1 sand perch. We fished out in the Gulf of America/Mexico. I would recommend both High-Flying Saltwater Charters and Just Add Water Charters.

Great Family Fishing Trip
4hr Offshore on March 20, 2026 • 3 adults • 2 children
Both Wes and Stephen were great captains. There were 6 of us with the youngest being 3yrd. They put us on fish at the first spot. We caught enough vemillion snapper to have a good meal. Then they took us to another spot and caught some bigger fish. Their boat was clean and comfortable. The kids loved the boat ride and catching fish. They tried to cater to what our expectations were. Captain Wes communication was great. We had such a great time. If we come back we will definitely use this charter again.

5 hr offshore - 1:00 PM on May 13, 2026 • 4 adults
With little to no experience, Wes was a great instructor. He baited our lines, let us drop it into the water, and we caught a fish before it reached the bottom. Fish after fish, we had our supper in no time. It was a great Florida fishing experience.

2 hr kid fishing or dolphin tour - 5:00 PM on April 10, 2026 • 1 adult • 3 children
This was a wonderful trip and my 3 children from 2 years old to 11 years old had so much fun. They loved learning how to fish and caught about 20 fish. My little one and I enjoyed the boat ride and dolphins! I think people of all ages and experiences would enjoy a trip out on Captain Wes's boat. 2 hours went by fast so you might want to book longer times. My kids can't wait to go back.
