About Us
Full Throttle Marine is a premium mobile marine service company headquartered in Palmetto, Florida — serving Tampa Bay and the First Coast. We come to your dock. We do the work right. And we're building something bigger than a service truck: a pathway for the next generation of skilled marine operators.
Full Throttle Marine operates under Here2Fish, LLC, an ABYC member organization specializing in Yamaha and Mercury outboard service, scheduled maintenance, winterization, and premium detailing — delivered directly to boat owners at their dock, marina slip, or dry stack.
The company grew out of a decades-long thread: a mechanical engineering foundation, years invested in developing young people, a peer-to-peer boating platform called Here2Fish, and a father teaching his son real marine mechanics in the driveway. What started as shop class became a conviction — that skilled trades need people, young people need paths without debt, and Florida's boat-dense coast needs an operator who takes the work seriously.
We're not competing on price. We compete on quality — reliability, professionalism, and the 7-step Full Throttle Experience on every job.

The full narrative — five chapters, from St. Augustine roots to shop class, a Marco Island conference, and the team we're building now — is told in Jimmy's own words.
