AT THE HELM MARINEMAX LIFESTYLES

It’s time to celebrate longer summer days out on the water, along with another recent milestone on June 4—the 25th anniversary of MarineMax becoming a public company. In April, Bill McGill, our Executive Chairman of the Board, also celebrated his 50-year anniversary since the formation of Gulfwind Marine, which eventually became MarineMax 25 years ago. As the head of this incredible organization, I am proud to be a part of this momentous occasion and share it with you!

Although there have been many changes throughout the years, and the company has experienced a lot of growth along the way, there is one thing that has always remained persistent, and that is our mission to provide the world’s best pleasure boating experience by consistently exceeding the greatest expectations of our customers and our team members. Without our valued clientele and the rest of our boating family, we would not be where we are today. So, I give my sincerest appreciation to everyone involved throughout the years. I also encourage you to stay tuned for many fun and exciting anniversary-related happenings and festivities as we continue to celebrate.

Besides marking a quarter of a century, since our spring edition, advancement in technology is thriving within the company. In January, MarineMax started the year by completing its acquisition of Boatzon, the first fully integrated online retail platform for boats and other marinerelated products. This enhanced platform enables users to conveniently conduct the entire process of purchasing a boat online, including obtaining finance and insurance options and more. We are excited to continue to enhance customers’ buying experience overall.

Another positive gain for the company is the acquisition of Midcoast Construction Enterprises, LLC, better known as Midcoast Marine Group. This purchase allows MarineMax to maintain our marinas to our customer’s standards. Considering our growing marina portfolio, this addition has numerous benefits.

In addition to the many new boats and yachts to choose from at our showrooms nationwide, MarineMax has been on tour, displaying more vessels at annual shows, such as the Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show and the Palm Beach International Boat Show. We’ve also been proud to offer support within local communities and have a lasting positive impact with annual events, such as volunteering our time and labor to help build and dedicate a home to a deserving family for the 6th year with Habitat for Humanity, participating in local beach cleanups, blood drives, and more.

As for this season, MarineMax is eager to usher in the best days to spend on the water with many educational and exciting events. From in-water boat shows, boating classes, and fishing tournaments to movie nights, exclusive Getaways!® to popular destinations, and more— there’s always something happening around the water. And inside this special anniversary edition of MarineMax Lifestyles, you will find many exciting things to do, fun facts about our history, enjoyable stories shared by some of our boating families, and highlights about our products and services. Also, we encourage you to continue to join us while we commemorate 25 memorable and successful years of being United by Water.

Until next time, stay safe, enjoy your time on the water, and thank you for your loyal support throughout this magnificent journey.

Brett McGill Chief Executive Officer and President
