Come and enjoy the beautiful Gulf of Mexico aboard the “Full Draw.” Hiliner Charters offers exciting and safe fishing trips for the whole family. You will be fishing with Captain Brantley Galloway who has been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod. As a native of the area, he’s a USCG-certified captain and has unbeatable local knowledge of the fishing grounds.

The Full Draw is a 40’ Infinity offshore sportfishing boat, powered by two 800 HP Cummins engines. The boat comes equipped with all navigational equipment possible taking you to the hottest fishing spots. Capt. Brantley will make sure that your trip is as comfortable and productive as possible. With air conditioning in the cabin, a kitchen, toilet, and even a TV, you won’t be disappointed.

You’ll be provided with all the fishing equipment you’ll need. When you arrive, you will find a cooler on board for your drinks and food, as well as fishing licenses and tackle. After some great fishing, Capt. Brantley will be happy to clean and fillet your catch for you so you can take it home for a nice dinner.

You’ll be trolling and bottom fishing, focusing on the hard-fighting and great-tasting Cobia in the Spring. Bottom fishing can involve fishing for species such as Grouper, Snapper, Triggerfish, and Amberjack, while trolling trips could involve catching King and Spanish Mackerel, Sailfish, Mahi Mahi, and Tuna.

Destin offers a gateway to the Gulf, and if you’re thinking about a trip, look no further. Join Hiliner Charters and have a memorable fishing adventure!

Memory Filled Morning

4 Hour Trip on July 14, 2025

We had a memory filled morning on the "Full Draw". Captain Brantley was very accommodating with our schedule, stayed in contact prior to our trip and took the time to explain the fishing excursion plan. Deck hand Dexter took the experience to the next level by helping bait, untangle lines, give fishing advice/tips, putting on an absolute show rotating all fishing poles and being extremely entertaining for 4 hours. They really went above and beyond and made my boys (15, 12, 10) first experience absolutely perfect. We'll be scheduling a longer trip with Capt N Brantley next summer!

7Hour Trolling & Bottom Fishing on July 9, 2025

Nonstop action! We had an awesome trip, the captain Galloway was constantly moving to ensure we always had fish coming into the boat. If we didn’t put a fish in the boat within 5 minutes we would move to the next spot. Pleased to say the least. While the captain was putting us in the right spot Dexter the deckhand was going above and beyond to keep our lines in the water and ensure we had a blast. He was great with the kids, positive attitude and had a wealth of knowledge. We will definitely be back soon!

Such patient guys, I was worried about 2 teen girls not having fun or being grossed out. That wasn't the case, we will all be back next fall.

Capt. Brantley has been fishing since he was old enough to hold a rod – since he was 5 years old, to be exact. He's a native of the Destin area and knows the area like the back of his hand, so is sure to get you right on the fish. Whatever the customer desires, he's happy to help to make it a successful, memorable trip.
