EDDIE LEON

A die hard boating enthusiast, I have a real passion for getting people on the water. Whether guiding groups of boaters in the Bahamas or spending time with a novice boater in the bay, I try to help each Plantation Boat Mart customer to realize how amazing the boating life style is. Our events have turned thousands of customers from all over the world into a family of boaters with planned reunions all over the Bahamas and South Florida.

I am a South Florida native, being born and raised in Miami. I graduated from Christopher Columbus High School in 1992 and earned my BA from the University of Miami in 1996. I joined Plantation Boat Mart in 1998 and have spent the last 10 years with Plantation Boat Mart. In 2008, I completed my first Ironman triathlon. Today, I continue to dedicate myself to the outdoors whether it’s run and gun tournament fishing, spear fishing in the Bahamas or racing hundreds of miles in triathlon.

SCOTT WARNIKE

I grew up on the shores of Lake Huron in Michigan working at the family marina. This 100-slip facility with service, sales and manufacturing taught me several aspects of the marine business. During this time I was taught all aspects of manufacturing of 24, 36 and 44 foot Trojan Yachts. Later, I joined the US Navy and was a Nuclear Operations instructor and operator on land based and submarine based nuclear power plants. For the last 15 years I have returned to my roots in the marine industry as a sales consultant and have had the pleasure of working on making people’s dreams come true.

My customer’s happiness is my first concern and the second is that they get what they are looking for. It is my hope that I can help you find your next boat or yacht, and leave you with the best experience of your life. I look forward to working with you.

GUY VONDER LINDEN

I relocated to South Florida from the Northeast (New Jersey) just over a year ago when I began working at PBM, but my boating background takes me back 18 years! Starting in the boatyard bottom painting, I worked my way up the ladder to production and all the way to general manager. I am a certified technician with the understanding that I do my job for the customer and their boating lifestyle!

My passion is fishing. Period. Whether it be charter fishing in the Bahamas or tournament fishing in Costa Rica or the Pacific Ocean… I have done it all worldwide.

My experience is an added advantage to any customer who is seeking a true assistant boat buyer as I can help you find the right boat for your needs and wants.

JAY JENKINS

After being born in Northern Florida, my father who was in the Coast Guard was transferred and our family moved to the coastal regions of North Carolina and Virginia.  Although, my family had deep roots in commercial fishing in the Chesapeake Bay, this is where I started to develop my passion for fishing, boats, and the water.  I spent many years fishing the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries, and developing a respect for the need to protect its future echo system.

Later I entered my chosen career path of Law Enforcement where I preformed all aspects from traffic patrol, s.w.a.t., narcotics, and was an instructor in defensive tactics, and motor vehicle law in the local Police Academy. After 14 years of patrolling all areas of the State of North Carolina, I chose to make a career change. 

I took my enthusiasm for boating and went to work for a local boat dealership in Chesapeake, VA as a salesman.  Now 13 years later I have worked in all aspects of the marine industry from a forklift driver to a General Sales Manager.  I received a degree in Marine Finance, and assisted in the development of several new Finance/Insurance offices in boat dealerships across North Carolina and Virginia.  

I recently joined Plantation Boat Mart to work along side the best that the industry has to offer. I enjoy being a part of an award winning team that provides the highest level of customer service.  It is a great personal joy to match the right customers to the right boat, and watch them become a part of the boating lifestyle.  I look forward to providing you and your family with the best in personal service and assisting you in making your boating dreams come true.

SHAD VERA

I am a boating enthusiast committed to serving others and their boating needs I am in this business for the sheer enjoyment of it. My boating knowledge comes from growing up here in the keys on my father’s marina. My hands on experience comes from owning, operating, and maintaining an assortment of different styles of boats throughout my life; from offshore fishing boats, to backcountry skiffs, and even high performance boats. I enjoy all styles of boating! Fishing, diving, spear fishing, island hopping, poker runs, wakeboarding, or just going out for a cruise. Being on the water is all that matters.

Simply put I am a passionate boater who loves helping other passionate boaters or new boaters get what they want. By offering the right boat, at the right price we make friends not sales. Give me a call and lets talk about what style of boating you may be looking to enjoy. Let me help you find the boat that fits you and your families needs.

I came to PBM to work with the best and when you are ready to buy a boat this is the team you will want to work with. Come in and see why we say that we are more than just a dealer, we are a life style.

LESLIE DE LA TORRE

My career at Plantation Boat Mart began at day one in 1996! As a member of the founding family, I have been in and around the boating business my entire life and it still plays a major part in my immediate family’s happiness.

At the shop, I handle many responsibilities including sales assistance on the retail finance side and to advertising needs both in print and online.

My husband and 2 children take an annual fishing trip to the Bahamas where we do what we love – fish! There is no better way to spend time and strengthen the bonds of family than in a boat on the water! That is why I have remained in the business and take great pleasure when we welcome a new member to the PBM family knowing they will enjoy it as much as I do!

I have a good sense of humor. I like driving fast in cars, four-wheeling and boating, but also enjoy canoeing, sailing and kayaking. That is why I have enjoyed myself as part of the Plantation Boat Mart team since 2004.

My duties include Accounting and Finance assistance as well as executive administration responsibilities. That means I make sure the entire company gets what they need to do their jobs and sometimes even bake up some delicious homemade chocolate chip cookies for the team to make the workday stay wonderful and uplifting!
