Hi Marty, I Love you Man! Not in a romantic kind of way but in a "I want to drink a bud light with you kind of way". I was in the Tampa area in November for my daughter's band competition and the first thing I thought when I crossed the Skyline Bridge was "I wish I had time to visit Zoffinger's". That's the impact that your love for kayak fishing has had on me. I was hooked for life ever since I saw that "Kayak Setup" video 7-8 years ago that you filmed in your old living room. I think I will cry the day I visit you and see the Little Red Kayak in person. Happy times. Place looks awesome. I'm so happy for you. Bud Light Rules!!!
I remember back when you were working construction and in the old house, makes me so happy to see this and how successful you have been. Ill be sure to stop by sometime
Marty I gotta hand it to you. You have gone from making short kayak fishing videos to creating an entire aqua fishing boat kayak sun and salt life empire for yourself and for others to enjoy! Truely impressive and it couldn't have happened to a better guy! Here's to many many years of continued success! Keep doing what you and do and keep those lines tight!
I am really Proud of you Marty! You turned your passion into a living life style.... which i can see you love it so much..... Congratulations...... from the bottom of my Heart.... David Lyons
What a humble guy Marty! The place looks bigger than I thought. Congrats on the progress. Love your videos -keeps me sane on my work lunch break! I also tune in to 30MO and can appreciate their vegetables and chickens!
You've come along way from just talking about the dream a few years ago to actually making it happen. Congratulations it looks great!!! I can't wait to get up there and do some fishing.
5 gallon buckets for growin veggies. Lots of room for the roots. Speaking of roots they are great for potatoes. Get plain white ones and you can paint them in you're style. Just bought the wife and I our first kayaks this year and can't wait to get on the water. You're videos are inspirational. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I think your live aboard / warehouse digs are awesome. I helped my dad build a Catamaran in Ft Myers , we sacrificed a lot with living conditions in order to have a decent spot to build on the back bay. This really brings back memories of my time with him in Florida. Thanks Marty for sharing !
Marty, we really lucked out with a beautiful day early last month when my dad and I took the tandem for a paddle. I have to thank you for helping me give dad a wonderful experience. He enjoyed the peaceful float through the mangroves and even landed a gnarly garfish (I know, we should've kept him). He especially was happy to sit and chat with you afterwards. You're a good listener in addition to a magnificent craftsman. Take care, I plan to visit again soon.
I remember the day that you show us for the first time your boat he is like your business he evolve and still have some room to improve. Marty Keep up the good work! that is the way to LIVE...
I have been watching you for years Marty, when you started out tricking out your first kayak adding pontoons to it and the cooler on the front, you have come a long way bro, I have always wanted to come and visit you and go fishing with you one day, as for now I have a 5 year old and a 2 year old and am a full time Dad, I never get to go fishing but I still have my kayak hanging in the carport along with my rods and tackle, I want my kids to love fishing and the outdoors, thus why I left LA. Moved to the north west to a rural 3 acres on top of a hill with some of the nicest few neighbors, hopefully one day I can get a chance to visit and catch some fish with you, cheers and keep up the good work, you are living a dream, congratulations on you achievements...
Had the pleasure of visiting 3 times over the winter months. What an awesome place to hang out. My cousin who lives in Florida introduced this northerner(Canadian) to your place. Fishing was great, we were never skunked! Marty you made us feel welcome and we never felt like it was a business, just a cool place to hang out, catch fish, soak up nature and swap stories. I also have a Pelican 120 and looking forward to doing some modifications
Bro - been watching you for a long time and I'm glad you are getting a chance to live your dream. Seeing the "poor man's kayak" at 12:27 was very nostalgic. Watching you build that thing out was the motivator for me to get my first kayak. Take care.
I move out from Florida in November to denver and never got the opportunity to go visit your place. And now I just want to go back to visit it Marty. You have achieve an excellent work. Keep working Marty
Mr. Zoffinger you've got the type of job I've been searching for all my life lol. It's what happens when you have a dream and work hard to make it happen. That's a awesome setup you got there and all the best in growing your business and you personally in 2019 and onward. Halifax Nova Scotia
Thank you for the grand tour, I totally enjoyed it, I think you have a totally awesome place. This is my first time on your channel and for sure I had subscribe thumbs up absolutely. Total pleasure meeting you and your two dogs, Mike and Doug 🙋🏼 !🇨🇦 Hope you all have a pleasant evening and thanks again for sharing Marty Zoffinger's 👍🏼👍🏼🙂
This is the American Dream Marty!! Well done sir. I have been watching you for years now. You have been helpful in my kayaking adventures. Hope to see you soon.
Great! Nice place! Now take some time to fish! I love those calm early morning adventures when your passion for life, nature, the water and fishing show through!
Your puppy dogs are beatuiful. They seem to like the boat life they live. I think you have done a bang up job on you place. Everything looks in it's place, very neat. Hope you continue to prosper to whatever trips your trigger. You are a crazy man, keep it up.
Man I will definitely plan a trip to Florida with my family to visit your place and rent some kayaks and do some fishing of course! You are a very humble man and you inspire to always be fishing. I can’t wait for the catch 130 and hopefully they come out with a tandem affordable version! Best of luck to you!
You've chosen a path that is well suited to you Marty. Any time you can go to work and it doesn't feel like you had to go to work is wonderful feeling that most of us unfortunately never get to experience. You certainly have worked very hard to get to where you are today. Enjoy the fruits of your labor. You are always seeking ways to improve your place, and never afraid to tackle any DIY project. I commend you for all your hard work!
No Marty, thank you! Thank you for bringing us into your peaceful and ingenious world! The shop and operations looks great and I can't wait to make it down there to visit you and paddle your waters someday! I've been watching your videos since back when times were tough for you, and now here you are, actually living your dream! I'm super happy for you! Also, I just ordered one of your shirts. I can't wait to wear it and advertise for you!
We may be rolling down to FL this summer. If we do, your place is certainly on the list. I saved up for over a year to buy a pair of 130’s. Got them and my so. And I were set to start out you tube adventure artifact hunting by kayak. Second test trip was a long three day weekend, we were set up on a creek, tent was up and we were learning the ropes so to speak. We were about a mile downstream from the truck. 3am on the first night and Mother Nature decided to grace us with her presence. My only concern was to get my son out, which I did but we lost everything in the storm. Completely wiped out. I had Che led the weather that afternoon and things looked good, where we are from that can change in minutes and just so happened it did so while we slept. Lost both yaks, camera gear, camping gear and by the grace of God we made it to the truck around 4. We loved our kayaks but gotta tell ya, that storm had zero mercy on us. Found out the next day that we had twisters all around us that came out of no where. One day maybe we will get back on the water. My son was so heartbroken. Lesson learned. Love your videos, we both watch them together. Thanks for the great content!
Mate you actually live like humanity should live! Not saying its wrong to have a nice home job ect but your way of living is just genuine! Your working to live not living to work! Your happy with what you need and not chasing what you want! You are also thankful for the little you do have material wise! In reality you have everything(HAPPINESS) and your genuine heart has given you that!! I support you with much honor! Glenn from Australia!! Oh and thankyou!!💜
Beautiful Marty, so happy you are happy not many get to say that. A couple years ago I purchased my first kayak and it was a Pelican Catch 120...love it. I did alot of research at that time to learn what would work for me and I have to say your videos really helped me make my decision on a Pelican. This year I am going to purchase the Catch 100 for the wife, and if and when I get to Florida I want to stop by and say hello, cheers!
That's truly an amazing spot you have there. I couldn't imagine anything like that in south east Florida (Palm Beach/Broward/Miami-Dade) not costing many millions or already having houses or condos built along the waterfront. Makes me want to move to that area of FL. Your a lucky guy.
Talk about gratitude in action - Marty and his entire life -totally awesome low-key peaceful full of happiness and love and two great dogs what else can any one ask for
Glad to see you having success Marty. Wishing you the best from the other side of the bay! Hard to believe how far this has come, some of your earlier videos were what really inspired myself and a lot of others to get out there and fish from a kayak. It's easy to see that none of this has changed you though, looking forward to visiting some day!
We've been full-time RV'ing for over 4 years now and mannnnnnnn are jealous of your view! I hadn't thought about boating but have been following your channel for a few years, we're inspired. I think a house boat is in our future, being a family of 5 (kids are all little though) we're a ways off from an awesome Tiki boat like Marty's. Very cool setup there Sir!
Absolutely wonderful buddy!!! This is what life should be all about. Comfort and happiness, doing the things we love. I'm very happy for you, and I live in Bradenton so I hope to swing by and say hey in the future. GOD bless ya sir and keep up the fantastic work!!!
New subscriber here. You, sir, are a blessed man. Good for you. Really enjoy your channel. Maybe one day my bride and I will drop in to say hi to you and the pups. We like dogs more than people so will make friends with them quickly. Thanks for sharing a bit of your life.
Oh yeah. I discovered your channel because I'm looking to buy a Bass Raider and somehow/someway, I drifted my way over to watch you solve the scupper problem. I'm a smart guy but a touch envious of the McGyver sweet skills. Valuable skills.
Hi, Marty 👍🏻👍🏻 Wow you have really been busy with your business, making incredible designs and products for your customers so they can enjoy a day out on the water for fishing or just paddling around in a kayak enjoying the outdoors. I’m glad to see you posting a video I miss seeing your adventures and seeing your two beautiful dogs 👍🏻also if you talk with Michael he has not posted a video in a good while I hope all is well. Thanks for sharing, enjoy and have a Great weekend !!! Danny
Place is awesome, and looks like a real peaceful feel to it. I live in North Carolina but hope to get down to see ya and get on the water someday, be watching since way back
Being 6'8" 330lbs I'm envious of people that can live, or even stand up, in boat cabins. For me my experiences on boats are often entailing people using the words "can you sit somewhere more centered in the boat". -___-
@@jaredbradley4095 lol... Buddy had a 24' yellowfin and I could walk the gunnel with ease... But for the price of that boat... It better massage my feet at the same time.
@Under Surveillance I never tell a Captain what to do on their boat. And you NEVER touch their trolling motor! Lol. If they are an awesome captain then I come back again and again and send a ton of biz their way. If theyre a cunt then its their loss.
Thanks for the tour opening your home for all of us, seeing what you do for work. You come a ways with all that, it's very nice Marty. For filling is an important part of life most have no idea. Glad for you. Take care Hope you have a Good Year.
I aspire to live the life you have. It seems like you really have a passion for everything you do and put so much thought and care into every project and enjoy it no matter how frustrating it must be lol
Hi Marty, I really enjoy watching your videos. I am moving to Florida in about a month in Bonita Springs. Iam moving my boat down there too. I hope to swing bye and sit down with you and hang out. Take care. Thank for all your videos. Doug
8:50 that dock box must have taken allot of work and time to complete...what a inspiration.. you remind me of the main characters of some books from the 1800s to early 1900s of sailors and explorers. If you wrote a book it would be fastinating and it would be a real treasure for this era
So awesome very happy to see it all come together for you. Your a very humble person you deserve nothing but success. Hope to get down there and pay a visit. Your videos are awesome thanks for sharing
Marty, I would love to come down soon. Ive been watching from the jump. Thank you for 3 things. You being YOU. Your videos. And most importantly your handiness, without your honed creative construction background...this wouldn't exist by only your hard work and your hands. God Bless!
Hi Marty I enjoyed your video it brought back memories of my visit with you I am looking forward to renting a kayak and doing some fishing that is a great idea with the photos showing the different channels I wish you all the best thanks for being a great down to earth guy
Man! I bet that when you first started You tubing and then kayak fishing, you never dreamt it would lead to this! Congratulations! I wish you much success. Thanks for the tour.
I just keep sailing towards the horizon even though I can't see beyond it. What has presented itself so far is very fair. No complaints. It's a pleasure to share my journey.
I am heading to Tampa this summer sometime, maybe in the fall....and I will make it a point to come visit you. Awesome channel, awesome stuff, you seem real down to earth and low key. Love what you do, keep it up!!!
Growing a business from ground up organically and without going into ample amounts of debt guarantees long term success. You sir have a good spirit and attitude! The little things add up (like rental fishing gear)
Your attention to detail and customer convenience is 2nd to none. The memories your place will make for customers is going to spread like wildfire. You will have long time customers for sure with your customer first model.
Stumbled onto the channel today looking at fishing videos before our Cedar Key trip next week and discovered I'm only about 30 minutes away from the shop. How crazy. The wife and I need to check it out and take some kayaks out.
hey Marty your are an awesome person. I've been a follower for a very long time and you definitely have been a complete inspiration. you got me started in kayak fishing and making my own videos. I have seen you since you moved out of your house and onto your boat, while having to fix it up. I had a good time watching your maiden voyage when you steering was backwards lol. Thanks a lot and keep up the good work. thanks a lot again for the inspiration, Jay from Reel Hookin'
Been watching your videos for a few years now and I want to say thanks for inspiring me to get out and fish. I recently purchased my first poor mans kayak (pelican exalt 10') and I'm excited to get it all modded and out on the water!
The Bathroom is called the Head !!! LOL !!! Landlubbers !!! Still, have the coolest videos, Marty... And you share an awful lot of your time..!!! Thanks for sharing !!! Wow !!! Cool Pooltable !!!
Hopefully, someday I will come to see you. Never got bored watching any of your videos and continue to enjoy. The place looks great and the surrounding fishery looks inviting. Tight lines Marty and keep living the vision.
Man I gotta say I always enjoy watching your videos regardless of the content your just such a chill dude. Most of your vids are entertaining and there is usually an educational value in there to which I think Is very cool . Keep up the good work and congratulations hard work pays off !
Marty, another great vid! It would be great if you included some interactions with your fans/customers/friends. Maybe even include going fishing with them! I'm sure your viewers would enjoy a preview of the awesome experience they would have when they come to visit! Almost like a commercial! I know it would make me even more excited to make a trip one day
I sure wish I could come have a beer with you and enjoy that view! And see the puppies. Wow what I would do for that lifestyle. Very jealous and envious . Great job Marty. Love your videos.
You have come a long way in a short time since I started watching you and that poor man's kayak, well done it looks great, total life change by the look of it
We were down that way Christmas Eve, I wish I would have stopped by there, but I couldn't resist a chance to paddle the Gulf. Next time I will stop by.
Awesome to meet you and chat on Monday. Wish you the best of luck on your business venture! I left you all the fish this time, but I promise next time will be different!
Living the dream, I am happy for you. I just came across your channel looking at Bass Raider videos. It’s a great setup you have there. I can tell you love what you do.
