Episode 1: How We Spent 20 Million Dollars In Key West

What happens when you drop $20 million on a rundown marina in Key West — and then set out to transform it into something locals and visitors will love? In this debut episode of Nicotine and Jetfuel, we tell the real story behind one of our boldest moves yet: buying a beat-up, beloved marina and betting everything on a bigger vision. From the first walkthroughs to casting vision for a full-scale revival under the Beach Weekend brand, hear from Jayme as he talks about his real estate development background and how it led to Key West, including the pushbacks, the passion, and what it takes to breathe new life into something while honoring its roots. We also share how private aviation became our secret weapon — flying in and out of Key West to keep things moving and momentum high when the pressure was on. This is about risk, grit, and the kind of partnership it takes to bring a wild idea to life. The Nicotine and Jet Fuel Podcast is a production of Beach Weekend Management.
