As the founder of Moving Squad, Aldo Disorbo spends his days helping people navigate their personal and business belongings through the murky waters of short- and long-distance relocations. However, when he isn’t managing one of the most successful moving companies in Florida, Aldo Disorbo likes to head for clearer waters.
Information Nation: How long have you lived in Florida?
Aldo Disorbo: I graduated high school here. This is my home.
Information Nation: And you enjoy boating?
Aldo Disorbo: Yes, you could say that. I spend most of my time on the water when I’m not working.
Information Nation: Do you usually head out to the ocean?
Aldo Disorbo: I do, yes. However, Florida also has an expansive network of lakes that I really enjoy.
Information Nation: Let’s talk about those. Which landlocked bodies of water do you particularly enjoy and why?
Aldo Disorbo: I love them all, but several come to mind, like Lake George.
Information Nation: That’s one of the biggest lakes, right?
Aldo Disorbo: At around 46,000 acres Lake George is the second largest in the state. It’s about half an hour east of Ocala and is an amazing place to putt around on a small boat for several hours.
Information Nation: Do you fish?
Aldo Disorbo: I do, and Lake George is also one of the best bass fishing lakes in the state.
Information Nation: There are several lakes in that area, aren’t there?
Aldo Disorbo: Crescent Lake isn’t too far away and actually has clearer waters than Lake George. Something I like about Crescent Lake is that it’s almost picture-perfect. There are plenty of deep waters to cruise around in and shallow areas to dock.
Information Nation: We understand that Lake Monroe is also popular.
Aldo Disorbo: It wasn’t always but thanks to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, it’s now an A-list destination.
Information Nation: For fishing?
Aldo Disorbo: Yes, Lake Monroe is more than 9,000 acres with extreme variable depths. Fishing can be difficult but the payoffs are awesome.
Information Nation: What kinds of fish are in the area?
Aldo Disorbo: People mostly hit Monroe for the bass. It’s not uncommon to catch 7-8 pounders. Also, it has two ramps, which means less wait time.
Information Nation: Let’s switch gears for a minute and talk about different kinds of boats.
Aldo Disorbo: There are dozens of different types of boats from small aluminum fishing boats to extravagant yachts that resemble tiny cruise liners.
Information Nation: What kind of boat do you prefer?
Aldo Disorbo: Definitely a slightly larger boat with ample space to move around. Personally, I like bowriders and cabin cruisers but cuddy cabins are also popular and very versatile.
Information Nation: What is a cuddy cabin?
Aldo Disorbo: It’s essentially a sectional underneath the main area of the boat. It’s great for people who don’t want to spend the money on a larger vessel but would like to be able to get out of the sun. They are also very good for families with children who may need to take a nap.
Information Nation: What is the difference between sailboats and other watercraft?
Aldo Disorbo: Sailboats are powered by wind. All other boats, including personal watercraft, are powered by an engine.
Information Nation: What’s the appeal of the water?
Aldo Disorbo: I love the freedom to explore all of Florida’s natural beauty. Plus, it helps me clear my mind so that I can run my businesses better.
Information Nation: Do you have any advice for people who are new to boating?
Aldo Disorbo: I would definitely suggest joining a boat rental club before committing a large amount of money to a single vessel in order to determine if it’s the right boat for their particular wants and needs.
Information Nation: That is definitely something to keep in mind. We do appreciate your speaking with us today, and we look forward to talking with you again in the future.
Aldo Disorbo: It has been my pleasure.
Aldo Disorbo is a businessman with nearly three decades of experience in the multibillion-dollar moving industry. His company, Moving Squad, is based in Fort Lauderdale and is slated to become one of the most successful franchise operations of its kind in the United States.
I am shopping for a new boat now… I may take the advice that Aldo Disorbo mentioned here and try a larger boat or rent a few before “taking the plunge.” I see those people on the mini cruise ships. I always wonder how they afford those monsters.
The ocean is why people come to Florida. Aldo Disorbo makes a few good points about boating in that you should try a rental club before dropping $$$ on a personal vessel. I know families who stay in the rentals because they want one thing one day and something else the next. Thanks to Mr. Aldo Disorbo for pointing out a few good fishing spots though.
Aldo Disorbo forgot to mention the other recreational activities on Florida’s lake system… I enjoy swimming and vacationing in general. There is a really cool resort on Lake Crescent that has cabins and hosts events pretty regularly.
Lake George is great. My buddies and I take the day off work sometimes to get out on the water. Aldo Disorbo is right about manning a small boat. Even as large a surface area as George has, there are benefits to a smaller craft…like docking in shallow shore area.
