My wife, son, friend, and I had an incredible time during our week-long vacation in Destin, FL, thanks to our first-ever deep sea fishing trip with Captain Wayne. From the moment we stepped aboard his spotless, well-equipped boat, we felt at ease. Captain Wayne gave clear, patient instructions that made us feel confident even as beginners. He knew exactly where to take us, moving quickly to new spots whenever the bites slowed down, which kept the excitement going all day. We ended up with an impressive catch—plenty to enjoy for a delicious “hook n’ cook” dinner. As a chef with 35 years of experience, Captain Wayne even shared his own recipe for fish tacos, which made the experience extra special. If you’re looking for a family-friendly deep sea fishing adventure in Destin, we can’t recommend Captain Wayne enough. His knowledge, hospitality, and dedication turned our trip into one of the most memorable highlights of our vacation.

Captain Wes and First Mate Josh were amazing! They knew exactly where to take us, and the action started right away. Our family caught nearly 100 fish, including 24 keepers! Our 13-year-old was hoping to hook something big, so we switched things up and tried trolling — within 10 minutes, he was reeling in a 3-foot Amberjack. We ended the day with 48 fillets and memories we’ll cherish forever. Thank you for an incredible experience!

Captain Josh was amazing with my kiddos.  He was friendly & made us feel welcome on his boat as soon as we stepped on. He went above & beyond to make sure my 11yo son caught a fish. He knew lots of great spots & if the fish were not bitting he did not hesitate to move. He was on top of baiting our hooks & casting out for us when needed. Highly recommend!!  Best money spent our entire trip. Even my 15 yo daughter had a blast!!
