The true value of networking and building trusted connections lies within always knowing you have got your customers and your business covered. If you are in the marine or waterfront industries and haven’t joined the Marine Power Network yet, our reach is growing!
We have been meeting at the beautiful St. Petersburg Yacht Club in downtown on the 3rd Wednesday of the month from 4:30-5:30+. If you are interested in attending or would like to be included on our email list please reach out! (Sometimes we have to switch locations.)
Although many of us operate in different states, our customers and clients often adventure beyond home. They live, travel, cruise, and keep second or third homes across state lines. They rely on trusted marine and waterfront professionals wherever they go and often ask the pros from home base if they have contacts where they are going. Networking beyond our local markets strengthens referrals and improves service. It also ensures our clients are taken care of no matter where the water leads them. In this industry, strong relationships shouldn’t stop at the county or state borders.
Another huge turn out of Marine Professionals Networking!

We’re a group of dedicated marine and waterfront professionals who show up with purpose – to build meaningful connections, grow our businesses, and ensure we always have trusted partners we can rely on to take care of our clients. Additionally, sometimes we have guests that are outside our marine sector that show up to network and support us. We appreciate them too and all we ask is they bring another marine professional with them as their ticket of entry.
No matter what state or region you operate out of, we want to connect with you too! If you work in or around the marine or a waterfront industry, we want you to come join us next month!

Grander Marine of St. Pete
Grander Marine, based out of Orange Beach, AL with four locations across the Northern Gulf, has opened up a location in St. Pete if you didn’t know! 9293 Bay Pines Blvd. St. Petersburg, FL 33708. (If I am not networking or hopping docks, that is usually where you can find me.)
Our brands we represent here in the region are Tampa Bay’s very own Bertram Boats, Capehorn Boats, Invincible Boats, Sea Born Boats, Solace Boats, and Yellowfin Boats. We also represent the one and only Luxury Hauler – Sport Chassis – to haul them all home!
I (Tim Fredericksen) am proud to represent Grander Marine on their new and used inventory side. So if you know of anyone looking at these brands please feel free to send them my way directly.
I will continue operating as a yacht broker, with my website and social medias remaining unchanged. I will also continue to grow the Odysseys Marine & Yachts Advertising and Marketing platforms.
At the same time, I’m excited to expand my services through an affiliation with Grander Marine as a sales advisor. Now offering new boat sales alongside my brokerage offerings. This allows me to better serve clients across both the pre-owned and new boat markets. Always maintaining the same personalized approach and building trusted relationships.
As always, if you know anyone looking to buy or sell a vessel, I’m here to help with a shoot you straight attitude and a marketing first approach to my sellers.
Feel free to reach me direct with any questions or sponsorship inquiries- call, text, or email! Tim Fredericksen (402) 677-3918 – tim@odysseysmarine.com
