About Full Throttle Marine

Full Throttle Marine is a premium mobile marine service company serving high-net-worth recreational boat owners across the Tampa Bay corridor. We come to the boat — by land or water — delivering scheduled outboard maintenance, mechanical repair, winterization, commissioning, and detailing directly to the dock. No shop. No waiting rooms. No surprises.

We're building something different: a professional, branded service operation that treats both customers and technicians better than the industry standard. If you're certified, skilled, and tired of the same four walls, this is your lane.

This is a contract (1099) position with flexible scheduling and compensation structured per job completed.
