B & F Marine Inc

B & F MARINE, INC, a family owned business, founded by my uncle Angel Barranco in 1961. It started as a small fiberglass, repair shop and selective marine accessory retail store in Miami. By the mid 1970’s we were one of the first marine retail stores to open 7 Days. My uncle and my father slowly grew into two well-located marine retail stores in Miami-Dade County with dealerships for Johnson & Mercury Outboards, OMC, Mercruiser and Volvo Penta Stern Drives. Thus, becoming one of the largest independent marine retailers in South Florida.

By the 1980's, B & F Marine had grown into more than a two-man operation. At this time, my uncle and father asked me to come on board to continue the business. Having a business and banking degree and a decade of banking experience in top management allowed me to take the steps necessary in becoming a second-generation partner in the business. Our modest growth continued, adding on an Aluminum boat line-LANDAU, and two additional outboard lines: Yamaha and Suzuki.
