Narrative:

On feb/sun/02, departed ft lauderdale international airport (fll), for a VFR flight to ZZZZ, first officer. The flight crew was the first officer and myself the captain. The WX conditions were VFR with winds out of the northwest. I set up for a nwesterly water landing on the east side of the bridge. After touchdown I continued to taxi with the aircraft on the step, adding some power to transition over some primary boat wakes. I saw some secondary swells in the distance and brought both power levers into reverse to slow down and stop the aircraft before encountering the secondary swells. We started to yaw to the right and skip as we launched from the wake. The aircraft settled on the left sponson/float, which got side loaded. Once we came to a full stop the landing gear was selected down, and we taxied to the seaplane ramp. We shut down and deplaned the passenger through the normal entrance door. I got caught in secondary swells, before fully coming off the step, taxi.
