Known as 'the fishing capital of America,' Destin is the place to be for outstanding fishing adventures! Charter Boat Malia Ann exploits these waters to the max, meaning you're in for a real treat. Your Captain welcomes you aboard to discover Destin's famous fishery for yourself.

The Malia Ann is a 26' Mako center console boat that has recently been restored to offer the ultimate fishing experience. Her twin 150 HP Yamaha engines provide a fast and reliable ride to the fish. It can carry up to 6 anglers, and the spacious deck area will provide a comfortable base for your whole group. It truly is a great vessel to explore the open seas.

You'll troll and bottom fish for a variety of delicious table fish and excellent game species in the Gulf of Mexico. On shorter trips, you'll go after King Mackerel, Snapper, and Grouper, while on offshore trips you can target anything from Mahi Mahi and Cobia to Amberjack and Tuna. If you'd rather fish the inshore areas, we will be happy to guide you along the beautiful coastline.

You'll catch live bait on the way to the fishing spots, or you can buy it before coming aboard. With rods, reels, and tackle provided, along with a choice of artificial lures, there's nothing left to do but get booking! At the end of every trip, customers even get to take their catch home with them, cleaned and prepared by the captain – what a treat!

So come and have a great day fishing and make some lifelong memories with Charter Boat Malia Ann!

    Capt Zack put us on the fish!

    4 Hour Trip on April 18, 2026 • 4 adults

    Capt Zack worked to put us on the fish all morning. We caught snapper, trigger and grouper until we were tired of reeling. Mate, Brian ran the fishing deck to perfection. Great team, clean boat and lots of filets to take home. Thanks guys. Book the No Alibi!!

    Major fun with Captain Zach and Josh.

    8 hour trip on August 7, 2025 • 6 adults • 2 children

    Initially booked with Malia Ann. After booking online and after a short phone conversation about our needs, Captain Zach upgraded us from Malia Ann to his other boat No Alibi to fit our party and fishing needs. We booked an 8 hour charter and were able to hit federal waters for a good amount of time which produced great fishing. Captain Zach was hospitable and put us on the fish. Captain Zach’s mate Josh worked hard all day and gave us the best experience we could ask for. Caught a load of fish including a black fin tuna. Josh was great to our kids and us adults. The whole experience was amazing. Highly recommend and will be back.

    After noon with Zack & Jason

    4 Hour Trip (PM) on June 4, 2023 • 5 adults

    We took a spur of the moment girls trip to Florida and went deep sea fishing, captain zack and Jason were an absolute blast to be around, caught our limit of red snappers, told them we wanted a shark, put us on a 500-600 pound shark and did everything possible to make sure it made it to the boat. 10/10 recommend and we will for sure be back

    Great time and great results.

    6hour afternoon on June 30, 2021 • 4 adults

    Capt Zach and Capt Phillip had to cancel due to weather conditions, which was understandable. My son and I were bummed as we had anticipated this trip all week. Capt Zach went above the call of duty and was able to work it out where we could go the following morning for our 6 hr trip. Awesome, as he did not have to go through all the trouble. My son and I had a great time, Phillip put us on the fish in no time. Highly recommend this crew and will be back for sure. If you are looking for a good charter, this is the one. Hats off guys, thanks for making memories for us!

    4 Hr Trip With Captain Eric!!

    4 Hour Trip – Spring on April 7, 2021 • 5 adults • 1 child

    I can’t recommend the Malia Ann and Captain Eric and Firstmate/Captain Kyle enough! From catching our own baitfish, to absolutely slaying King Mackerel, the entire experience was first class! It doesn’t get any better then having two guys who were born and raised in the area and on the water. If your ever in the destin area there is no one else you should book your trip with! We come down once a year from Ohio and I’ll fish with no one else moving forward! Thanks again guys!!
