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.

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.

4hr Offshore on August 5, 2025 • 4 adults • 1 child

Great trip. Weather wasn’t looking very favorable contacted WES and he let us know what the conditions were going to be and that as long as we didn’t mind getting a little bit wet, we could make it work and he absolutely did. He was very knowledgeable and just made everything a fun time . Works great with the kids and explaining everything to them and getting us on the fish he also worked with the weather and kept us safe. look forward to booking with him again in the future you won’t be disappointed.

Great kids fishing trip!

2 hr kid trip *READ DESCRIPTION on August 31, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

Captain Wes was awesome, got us out and on fish quick. The kids loved the ride out and then they had a blast fishing in several spots and catching lots of fish. We even got to see some dolphins and a sea turtle. It was a fun filled morning that they won’t forget. We highly recommend Captain Wes and High Flying Saltwater Charters. We will definitely come back the next time we are in town. It was a great, fun family day. Thanks again!

Great experience!

4 hr P.M Offshore on July 1, 2025 • 2 adults • 3 children

These guys were great, Capt. Heath Howle went above and beyond to get us on the fish. Him and his crew kept the rods in the water and were continuously baiting the hooks and switching rods to ensure we always had line out. There were 2 adults and 3 kids on this trip and boat had plenty of space. They were great with the kids and would recommend these guys and would book again.

Great for kids

2 hr kid trip *READ DESCRIPTION on October 22, 2025 • 1 adult • 3 children

Wes took my boys and me out on an easy ride and put us on fish immediatley. We couldn’t get the bait on the hooks fast enough. My boys (age 10,9, and 6) said it was the best fishing trip they have ever been on. Highly reccomend this two hour trip for young kids. It was action packed and we caught at least 7 different species in our hour of fishing.
