The Venture Family
There are many new and exciting changes happening at Venture Marine. We would like to introduce our new staff directory so that you are familiar with us when you call or stop by the factory. We would also like to apologize for the recent phone problems that occurred. Lighting struck our phone system and it was acting up for awhile. We now have an automated phone system that makes it easier to reach the staff member or department you are looking for. Below is the Venture team that is happy to assist you.
Owner Mike Grandonico and his crew on the 34’ Roll Out had a trip of a lifetime this past May logging a total of 750 miles on their 2004 Venture. They started out by heading to Bight Cay Island (300 + miles) to clear customs and then headed to Hawks Nest Marina to stay. They fished Columbus Point and Tarter Bank where they caught more dolphin than ever with the biggest one being 52lbs and released a Blue Marlin off Devils Point in Cat Island. Their next destination was New Bight where they re-fueled and then headed to fish the bridge off North Cat Isle where they caught more dolphin and two big kingfish while staying at Rock Sound Marina. They then ran across Exuma Sound to Highborn Cay where they spent the day deep dropping and got plenty of snappers for dinner. Then it was off to Atlantis for the night where they would then proceed to run to Jolters off Andros. In the morning they fished in the tongue by Chub where they caught more dolphin, wahoo and released another Blue Marlin. The 750 mile trip consisted of 650 gallons of gas and an east wind increasing to 20-25 knots with higher gusts. “It’s one great boat. This is the 3rd year we have done this trip and the boat and Yamaha power never miss a beat.” Grandonico said. What an adVenture Mike and his crew had on the 34’ Roll Out!
