Thanks for everyone’s participation, encouragement, and support. BoatBrevard.com continues to grow into something much larger than I originally planned and expected. Since its launch at the beginning of December of 2009, it has had over 40,000 unique users, consistently gets over 5,000 page views, and gets many new members each day. Please continue to invite your friends and family to join us at Central Florida’s Interactive Waterway... We need your help to share the site with all boaters in Central Florida.

John's ( The Founder) original plan for the site in November of 2009 was to create a simple discussion board for local boaters. Idea after idea and suggestion after suggestion has evolved it very quickly to what it is now. Many times, boaters meet other boaters and it is difficult to exchange phone numbers or email addresses. My vision is that when you meet another boater, the contact information exchange will no longer be necessary and you can simply say “Find me on BoatBrevard.com” or “Connect with me on BoatBrevard.com”. Additionally, if you want to know the next time Jerry and Sally with ‘Big Blue’ will be at Ski Island you can find out easily on the site.. Then you can decide to meet up or go somewhere else….
