Response from Captain

Thanks Jim. Hopefully next time we can get out before a nasty cold front comes thru, if you want to go out again. I enjoyed the company with all of you.

    Excellent and Fun Trip!

    4hr Offshore • 3 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

    i had a great time. Hopefully next trip the fish bite will be hotter instead of the temperature

    Great Pinch Hitter

    4hr Offshore • 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.

    Response from Captain

    thank you for the review. hopefully next trip will be out with me

    Awesome trip and a even better Captain

    new trip • 2 adults

    Wes had us on fish right from the start, and we would actually leave biting fish to catch bigger ones. I was able to knock a few fish off of my list I'd never caught before. We had a superb trip and would recommend Wes to anyone.

    Kid friendly

    2 hr kid fishing or dolphin tour - 5:00 PM • 4 adults • 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.

    Response from Captain

    Thank you and i hope i can take yall out again one day
