“What a year 33 was!” she captioned the post. “I felt loss but found love, witnessed old friends become new parents, visited new countries, crossed the Atlantic Ocean (again), made it home to be with family, celebrated friends getting married, danced the night away with friends who became family, wrapped a TV show, had new career ventures.”

Malia acknowledged that the past year “had a lot of highs but some really low lows"; however, she was grateful for all the lessons she received along the way.

“I learned a lot about what matters most,” she continued. “Thankful I caught the sunrise this morning ! Here’s to 34! Thank you for all the love & support this year.”

Malia embarked on the adventure just a month after she and Katie completed another charter season in the Caribbean. She celebrated the conclusion in a May 17 Instagram post, right before she and her team headed across the Atlantic. 

In 2023, Malia announced she had become a chief mate 3000, which brought her "one step closer" to her dreams of becoming a captain. She mentioned the milestone during Winter House Season 3 while speaking to Below Deck Med’s Captain Sandy Yawn.

“Well, super exciting news, I just got my chief mate’s ticket. One step closer,” Malia told Sandy. “So, I just got promoted to second officer, and now I can start working on my sea time for Master’s 3000. Then I’ll be where you are.”
