☀️Hi everyone—welcome to July in Sarasota, Florida! With the sun out, warm Gulf breezes in the air, and long summer days ahead, July is one of the better months to get out and enjoy everything this coast has to offer.

It’s also a season for celebrating—and this year, there’s even more to celebrate. We’re proud to support our country’s 250th celebration, honoring generations of history, progress, and community. And of course, we’re getting ready for Independence Day on July 4th—a time to reflect on freedom, come together, and celebrate the spirit of the United States.

What Makes July Special in Sarasota?

In July, the streets, marinas, and highways feel alive with weekend adventures and unforgettable rides. Here in Sarasota, you’ll often find your neighbors doing what Floridians do well hitting the road, heading out on the water, and enjoying the sunshine.

🚤 Boats -We can insure yours today.

From sunset cruises to long days on the water, Sarasota summers are perfect for boating season. Whether it’s a day trip or a full weekend on the water, it’s all about making memories.

🏍️ Motorcycles -Call us for a quote.

Motorcycles and July sunshine go together. If you love the open road, you know how great it feels to ride in the Florida warmth—with pride and safety in mind.

🚐 RVs - We would love to insure yours.

Camping season is in full swing! Whether you’re scheduling a quick escape or a longer trip, July is a great time to hit the road with your RV and explore new places.

🚗 Antique & Classic Cars - We have great rates for these vehicle types.

Some treasures don’t come out only for special occasions—July is when you’ll see vintage beauty shine on the streets. Classic car lovers know these vehicles are more than transportation; they’re history on wheels.

Celebrate Responsibly (That’s Where We Help)

As you gear up for your July adventures—whether it’s boat days, RV road trips, motorcycle rides, or classic car cruises—our team at State Farm is here to help you stay covered and confident.

Because one of the better parts about summer is knowing you’re prepared for whatever the road (or water) brings. Happy Independence Day & 250 Years of Freedom!

From all of us in Sarasota—have a safe, joyful Fourth of July and enjoy the season ahead. And congratulations to our great nation as we celebrate our 250th anniversary.

A little bit about me: I was born and raised in the Southwest suburbs of Chicago. While attending Lewis University, I was fortunate enough to play baseball. This equipped me to be a volunteer baseball coach for the past 18 years. I have been serving and meeting the needs of insurance customers for over 25 years. After vacationing in Southwest Florida area for over 25 years, my family is now blessed to call Sarasota our home. My wife Cathy and I are the proud parents of four children, Alexa, Aaron, Alaina and Austin. I have 3 handsome grandsons, Rocco, Rio & Rollie. When I'm not coaching youth sports, I am enjoying volunteering at local food pantries and being active in my church.
