Our History

We are a family owned dolphin and sunset cruise charter company that has been in business since the 1960s. Locally owned and operated, Sunny Lady is part of the Olin Marler charter boat family. One of Destin, Florida’s own founding families, Olin was an experienced Captain who loved creating and sharing memories out on the Gulf Coast waters.

In business for over 50 years, Olin Marler Charters has grown from a weekend business, to offering year-round dolphin trips. Olin purchased his first fishing boat in 1965, and joined by his wife Donna Marler starting in 1983, built 9 more boats by the 1990s.

 

World-Class Tours

Our sightseeing cruises offer a ride on a phenomenal passenger vessel, comfortable enough for families with young children or elderly relatives to sit back, relax, and take in the scenic beauty and wildlife.
