It also offers boat brokerage services, leveraging advanced marketing technology and broad market exposure to maximize visibility for clients selling their vessels.<\/p>\n<p>For boaters who want time on the water without the responsibilities of ownership, Flying Bridge Sanibel offers a rental fleet and boat club membership program providing access to a variety of vessels. A full-scale service department staffed by Yamaha and Mercury certified technicians handles everything from routine maintenance to engine repowers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSanibel has always felt like home to me,\u201d Flying Bridge owner Mark Bogosian said. \u201cMy family has had a place on Captiva for years, and I\u2019ve watched this community demonstrate remarkable resilience. Opening here allows us to bring Flying Bridge\u2019s approach to boating to a place I care deeply about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Sanibel location is the first of several planned for Southwest Florida, with additional operations opening soon in Bonita Springs and Fort Myers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cServices available from Flying Bridge are exactly what Sanibel needs to enhance its world-class reputation for year-round watersports,\u201d chamber President and Chief Executive Officer John Lai said. \u201cOur boating scene just shifted into high gear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe timing feels right,\u201d Bogosian said. \u201cSanibel is back, the causeway is fully restored, and boaters are returning to these waters. We\u2019re proud to be part of the island\u2019s next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Flying Bridge Sanibel is at 634 N.
