If you're looking for a boat dealer or yacht broker near Port Charlotte, Placida, Englewood, South Gulf Cove, or Boca Grande, my name is Orion Wholean. I'm a licensed Florida yacht broker with over 13 years at Ingman Marine, a family-owned dealership that has served Southwest Florida's Gulf Coast for more than 45 years.

I sell boats for a living, but more importantly, I run them. I fish offshore out of Boca Grande, I've crossed the Gulf Stream, and I've spent my career on the exact waters you'll be boating — Charlotte Harbor, Gasparilla Sound, Lemon Bay, and the Gulf. When I recommend a hull, a motor, or a layout, it's because I know how it performs here, not because it's what's sitting on the lot.

 I work across new boats, brokerage, and trade-ins at Ingman Marine's Port Charlotte, Placida, and Sarasota locations:

• New boats: Bennington pontoons, Grady-White, Cobia, Sea Hunt, Stingray, Maverick, Hewes, and Pathfinder
• Brokerage and preowned: Center consoles, bay boats, pontoons, and offshore boats across all brands
• Trade-ins: Honest inspections and real-market valuations — I've published videos showing exactly how dealers inspect and price trades, so you know what to expect before you walk in

I put my process on camera. My YouTube channel, Outboards Only, has over 3.5 million views. I film boat inspections, restorations, sea trials, and buyer-advice content so you can see how I evaluate boats before you ever call me. No dealership mystery — you can watch how I work.

I'm local to your water. Based in the South Gulf Cove / Placida area, I know the draft you need for your canal, the ride you need for Boca Grande Pass, and which boats hold value in this market.

Licensed and accountable. I'm a licensed Florida yacht broker at an established dealership with a full service department behind every sale. If something goes wrong after delivery, you have a real place to bring the boat and a real person who answers the phone.
