Bryanna Roche

Meet Bryanna Roche, the founder and CEO of Floatel Inc. A lifelong boater, Bryanna's passion for the water began before she could even walk, growing up in the picturesque Babylon Village. Her love for the Great South Bay runs deep, as it has been the backdrop for countless cherished memories with family and friends.

Floatel Inc. was born from a simple dream shared between Bryanna and her father: to bring the enchanting world of the Great South Bay to others. With every wave and sunset, she found inspiration, and now she is dedicated to helping others create their own lasting memories on these beautiful waters.

As a skilled DIYer, Bryanna has personally hand-selected every aspect of the boat's rebuild, ensuring that it meets the needs and desires of her future customers. This project is truly a labor of love, reflecting her commitment to providing an exceptional experience on the water.

In addition to her entrepreneurial spirit, Bryanna is a devoted mother to two wonderful girls, aged 1 and 3, who are already mini boaters themselves. They love spending time together working on projects and cruising the bay, fostering a love for the water that she hopes to pass on to them.

With several years of experience working on a fishing boat out of Huntington, Bryanna brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to Floatel Inc. She is excited to share her passion for boating and the beauty of the Great South Bay with you, making her dream come true while helping you create unforgettable memories of your own. Welcome aboard!
