A LITTLE ABOUT BOB
Bob Sparks, President and Founder, a 45-year resident of Palm Beach County, and previous Venture Marine and Bahama Boat Works designer, has taken his 32 years of expertise to design the hull that will blow ahead of the competition. Bob is constantly thinking about how to make the next one better. After designing and creating two of the finest sportfishing boats, he knows all there is to know about how to make this one the best yet. His previous builds are sought after more than 20 years later. He has built the very best for over two decades, and the proof is in the hauls.
Bob is a seasoned boat designer skilled at managing all production phases, including lamination, assembly, wiring, plumbing, finished work, engine rigging, electronics, and custom accessories. He ensures the boats produced at Sparks Boat Works are of impeccable quality.
A LITTLE ABOUT BRANDON
Brandon has been in the marine industry for over 24 years, first as a captain and the last 20 years as a broker. Brandon has experience at a reputable brokerage in Palm Beach specializing in custom sport fishing boats and gained a vast knowledge of the industry and the unique details pertaining to the custom boat market. After over a decade at that brokerage, Brandon seized a great opportunity and joined the HMY team in 2014, where he worked for seven years. He has now taken his industry experience to open Sparks Yacht Sales with Bob Sparks in 2023. Brandon feels his extensive knowledge in the marine industry and his experience as a captain will help guide clients to ensure the right fit for them.
Being a Florida native and growing up in North Palm Beach allowed Brandon to enjoy the water at a very young age, where boats became his passion. He has had the opportunity to travel throughout the Bahamas and East Coast on various boats, giving first-hand experience in operation and maintenance that translates into accurate information when informing clients of the cost of ownership. He is a member of the International Yacht Brokers Association and remains active in the marine community. Brandon now resides in Jupiter, Florida, with his two children.
