*Departure times are flexible , just let me know if you prefer a later or earlier time.
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 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.

Excellent and Fun Trip!
4hr Offshore on June 11, 20263 adults
We’ve done the party boat trips before but we really didnt want a crowded boat this time. Captain Wes is very affordable for a private trip! The bite was slow today and he did warn us that the fish weren’t biting like they normally do, but we all still caught fish and it was a blast! I would absolutely recommend him to anybody else looking for smaller private trips that wont break the bank! I will be reaching out to him next time we come down for vacation to go again!
Reported catch:
Mangrove Snapper

Great Family Fishing Trip
4hr Offshore on March 20, 20263 adults2 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.
Reported catch:

Great Trip!
5 hr offshore - 1:00 PM on June 10, 20264 adults
We all had a fun time fishing with Wes. We hit on almost every spot he took us to. We got a good size grouper, and soaked from waves. Wes communicated efficiently, which is a huge plus, because we had no idea where we were supposed to go. We would definitely use him again.

Great Pinch Hitter
4hr Offshore on May 5, 20261 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.
