Joe Galati grew up in the marina business working in the family marina at Anna Maria Island, Florida. The Galati brothers worked in all aspects of the yard and learned the ins and outs of the business at a young age. Bottom jobs, service yard, sales, fuel docks, working the cash register and even selling live bait they caught themselves. They did it all. From its humble beginnings as a tornado-ravaged marina in 1970, the family built it into the multi-million dollar business with seven offices it is today. The company mantra has always been "To consistently exceed our customer's expectations"...and they have. |
