Expands Its Azimut Relationship CLEARWATER, Fla.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE:HZO - News), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, announced today it has expanded its relationship with Azimut, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of luxury yachts. Specifically, MarineMax is adding Azimut to its product offerings in the state of Florida. Prior to this expansion, MarineMax offered Azimut yachts in its markets from Baltimore to Boston.
Matthew Barbara, Regional President, Greater New York area for MarineMax, stated, “We have a tremendous relationship and history with Azimut in the Northeast. Our New York locations have provided Azimut sales and service for 10 years. Several years ago we successfully expanded with Azimut into Baltimore, Connecticut and Rhode Island. We are pleased to be able to bring this world class brand to the Florida market.”
William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of MarineMax stated, “We have been successful with Azimut in the northeast and we believe the potential for MarineMax and Azimut in Florida is significant. MarineMax now has the exclusive rights as the only boat retailer with the ability to sell and service the world class brand of Azimut in both the northeast and in Florida. We will now be able to provide the full range of MarineMax services to those northeastern Azimut owners who have a second home in Florida and frequently boat between the two markets. No other dealer in our industry can offer such an advantage. As our customers migrate to larger products, expanding our relationship with Azimut further helps to meet their recreational boating needs for a hassle free boating experience.”
