The Sanibel Marina has officially welcomed a new major player to the island’s boating scene. On January 17, Cape Cod-based Flying Bridge celebrated the grand opening of its new Sanibel location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony held in partnership with the SanCap Chamber of Commerce.
A New Hub for Boaters The new operation aims to be a comprehensive destination for water enthusiasts, bringing a mix of sales, service, and recreation to Southwest Florida. Flying Bridge Sanibel is now the official dealer for Yellowfin and Invincible center-console boats—two heavy hitters in the world of offshore fishing and performance boating.
Beyond new sales, the location offers a full suite of services:
-
Brokerage Services: Utilizing advanced marketing technology to help clients sell their vessels.
-
Rentals & Boat Club: A fleet and membership program for those wanting to enjoy the water without the responsibilities of ownership.
-
Service Department: Staffed by Yamaha and Mercury certified technicians, the team handles everything from routine maintenance to engine repowers.
Rooted in Resilience For Flying Bridge owner Mark Bogosian, the expansion is personal.
“Sanibel has always felt like home to me,” Bogosian shared. “My family has had a place on Captiva for years, and I’ve watched this community demonstrate remarkable resilience. Opening here allows us to bring Flying Bridge’s approach to boating to a place I care deeply about.”
Bogosian noted that with the causeway fully restored and boaters returning to local waters, “The timing feels right. We’re proud to be part of the island’s next chapter.”
Looking Ahead Sanibel is just the beginning for the company’s Southwest Florida expansion, with additional operations planned for Bonita Springs and Fort Myers.
John Lai, President and CEO of the SanCap Chamber, welcomed the addition, noting that it fills a vital need in the local economy. “Services available from Flying Bridge are exactly what Sanibel needs to enhance its world-class reputation for year-round watersports,” Lai said. “Our boating scene just shifted into high gear.”
