Meet your mechanic
Meet Vinny!
If you’ve spent any time on the water around Sarasota, there’s a good chance we’ve passed each other out there.
I’m a Sarasota native, born and raised. For as long as I can remember, my life has revolved around boats. From the time I was a kid, if I wasn’t fishing the flats or exploring the keys, I was figuring out how to make a motor run faster and smoother. What started as a childhood obsession turned into a career, and now, with over 10 years in the marine industry, I’ve turned that passion into Bent Rod Marine.
Why I Do What I Do
I’m an avid fisherman first. I know exactly how it feels to have a trip planned, the gear packed, and the bait ready—only to have an engine issue keep you tied to the dock. It’s frustrating, and in a place as beautiful as Sarasota, it’s a waste of a perfectly good day.
I started this business because I love seeing my customers doing what they love. Whether you’re heading out for a tournament, taking the family to the sandbar, or just cruising the Gulf at sunset, my job is to make sure you have total peace of mind when you turn that key.
The Bent Rod Promise
When you work with me, you’re not just getting a mechanic; you’re getting a local who cares about this boating community. I treat every boat I touch like it’s my own, with the goal of getting you back on the water quickly and safely.
I handle the grease, the gears, and the headaches so you can keep your rod bent and your lines tight.
See you on the water,
— Vinny Owner & Operator, Bent Rod Marine
