Скачать или смотреть From a 14-Foot Aluminum Boat to the British Virgin Islands: Brendan Bailey’s Boating Journ

Brendan Bailey joins Franklin at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show to trace a 30-year path from a 14-foot aluminum starter boat in Texas to helping families step into bigger water and bigger adventures. He shares how relationships built on inland lakes grew into lifelong friendships and careers, including customers who moved from sport boats to yachts and even into marine businesses of their own.



They dig into MarineMax Vacations in the British Virgin Islands, why flotillas reduce anxiety for first-time coastal boaters, and how turnkey support makes it simple. From booking and provisioning to captains and route planning, the goal is confidence. Brendan explains how these guided saltwater trips open eyes for lake boaters who want more time on the ocean.



Closing from the show floor, the conversation hits new tech like assisted and self-docking, better electronics, and easier onboard systems. Brendan talks Southwest Florida as a launchpad to the Keys and Bahamas, why service and hurricane planning matter, and how success looks like families making memories together. Passion leads, products follow.
