Olin Marler’s Charter Fishing Service has the largest fishing fleet on the Emerald Coast! We are pleased to have the opportunity to introduce our fleet and invite you aboard to fish the beautiful, unspoiled waters of the Gulf of Mexico. With knowledge based on a lifetime of experience, we assure you a deep-sea fishing adventure that will make for a dandy “fish tale”.
Destin private charters with Olin Marler Charters offer anglers the ultimate deep sea fishing experience. Craft your dream trip targeting a number of desirable species including snapper, grouper, mahi mahi, sailfish, and more! Unlike a semi-private or party boat charter that hold dozens of people from multiple groups, on a private charter the captain and crew will accommodate only your group of up-to 6 people ages 7+.
Please call 850.837.7095 or email us for questions about our Destin private charters including rates and availability.
Bait, tackle, fishing license and fish fillet. The crew works for tips and it’s customary to tip 15-20%.

For those experiencing Destin fishing charters for the first time, we offer small group or party boat charters that are inexpensive trips geared towards giving people a first time fishing experience.
A private charter only has your group members on the boat, but a Party/Group Charter (AKA Head Boat) has other families on board as well.

It’s always a good time to go fishing, but the season will determine what fish we can go after. Please visit Florida FWC for info on what is in season.

The captain will be the only one to cancel the trip. Customers cannot cancel just because they see a few grey skies. If we are forced to come in early after a trip departs, we will offer a prorated credit for a future trip. Please discuss with captain as this will vary on a case by case basis.
The boat is not handicap accessible, but the crew and captain will do their best to make arrangements in order to get the customers on and off the boat. Please call us for more details.
