In Episode 3 of Nicotine and Jet Fuel, Jayme takes you back to the wild beginning of the Beach Weekend brand.
Before we had a fleet, a team, or even a marina—we had one shot at an auction... on an iPhone. This episode tells the real story of how a single waterfront property in Fort Walton Beach turned into one of Florida’s largest pontoon boat rental businesses.
If you’ve ever wondered how to spot opportunity, take a risk, and build something from nothing—this is where it all started.
👊 It’s raw. It’s real. It’s only the beginning.
🎧 What you’ll hear:
How we found the property that started it all
What went down during the auction
Why this wasn’t just a deal—it was the launch of a lifestyle brand
The early chaos (and confidence) behind Beach Weekend’s growth
