In 1962, Ted and Monica Johnson, and 16 yr. old son, Jerry, bought the fuel dock and rental boat business on the Intercoastal Waterway in Pompano Beach. In 1979, PBMC took on Grady-White Boats and the business grew more. The next big change came in 1990 as PBMC became a full-line Yamaha dealer. Pompano Beach Marine Center began winning awards for their Sales and Service achievements with Grady-White Boats and Yamaha. PBMC won the Gold Anchor Award for Customer Satisfaction in 2008, and again won the Gold Anchor Award for Sales in 2011.
