Just Add Water Charters Customer Reviews

Capt Wayne was more than accommodating! The weather was going to be less than desirable on our time slot, so Capt. Wayne took it upon himself to take us out later in the day when weather was favorable. Boy am I glad we waited a few hours because it made a huge difference! The weather was beautiful! The fishing was on! Capt Wayne was awesome baiting hooks and taking fish off, and boy was he quick! I didnt have to touch thing if I didn't want to! We definitely enjoyed the day fishing, snacks, and conversation. What a great time with Capt Wayne! We will be doing this again with him!

4/22/26 - Great experience with Captain Wayne! Our group consisted of 3 boys (17,17,13 yrs) and I (48 yrs). Captain Wayne was contentious and safe with the boat - no one got sick! We caught 6-7 species and 60-70 fish during a 4 hour charter. Capt. filleted our keepers and gave us tips on how to bake them (former chef) they were delicious. Complete class all the way and had great communication the entire time. Highly recommend!

This trip was a gift for my 9-year-old who loves fishing, and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Wayne was patient, engaging, and made the whole experience fun and educational. He put us on plenty of fish, including grunt, sand perch, and even a 23-inch red grouper. He also cleaned our catch so we could take it to a local restaurant and have it prepared for lunch. We’ll definitely be back.

We had a great experience from start to finish. The captain put us on fish right away and was both knowledgeable and easy to talk to. Unlike some trips where the captain can seem rushed or impatient, he was relaxed, engaging, and genuinely enjoyable to be around. He gave us the freedom to fish and bait our own hooks, which we appreciated, and never made us feel inexperienced. I’d book this trip again without hesitation.

We booked a 4-hour fishing trip, and it turned into a day we’ll never forget. The boat was clean, roomy, and comfortable, and the captain tailored the whole outing to what we wanted to catch. He knew exactly where to go, what bait to use, and how to work each species, and he explained the details behind every fish we brought up. We used squid, chopped bait, and live bait throughout the trip and hooked into two amberjack right away. From there the action kept coming with triggerfish, bonitas, vermillion snapper, and more. We even spotted a few sea turtles and dolphins along the way, which made the experience even better.

My dad was in town, so we decided to book our first fishing charter, and it turned out to be a great choice. We originally planned for a Saturday morning trip, but with weather coming in, Captain Wayne suggested moving it to Sunday afternoon. The change worked out perfectly. He guided us through everything, kept things simple, and even filleted all our catch at the end. All we had to do was relax and enjoy the fishing.

As complete beginners, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The captain took the time to walk us through everything and made it easy to get started. We caught a great mix of fish, including snapper, Spanish mackerel, and triggerfish. He also kept the 6-hour trip flexible, moving between inshore docks, offshore reefs, and even some trolling so we could try different techniques. At the end, he filleted our catch and we brought it straight to LJ Schooners to have it cooked. We’d definitely book again.

Captain Wayne was excellent from start to finish. He went out of his way to make sure our trip still happened despite the weather, quickly rescheduling when our original outing was rained out. He’s very knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the gear needed to catch them, and he kept everything clear and easy to follow. Friendly, straightforward, and great to spend time with on the water. Highly recommend and we’re looking forward to fishing with him again.

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.
