My name is Andrew Olin Marler, son of Clarance Olin Marler. My father started his own business in Destin, Florida, running fishing boats, which was his passion. Over time, he expanded into different boating ventures. Along the way, he made many friends, or some could even say family, in this business with his mates and captains.

I remember even as a kid Mr.John would always be there walking me through how to fish, baiting my lines, or on occasion helping me get to the bottom of the boat to rest off sea sickness. John had a soul of making sure everyone was taken care of, safe, and having a good time meant a lot to him - he would go above and beyond.

So If there's one thing I learned in this life, it's to treat others how you would want to be treated. So, when it came to my attention long-time mate and member of our family, John Brooks, who was a phenomenal mate of the Gulf Breeze, and great friend of everyone on the harbor had been diagnosed with throat cancer, my family and I immediately went to doing everything we can for him. There's only so much one family can do for anyone, though, so from my family reaching out to you, if your family was in this position, how would you want the world to treat you. Anything helps, and is greatly appreciated from myself & Mr.John alike.
