MarineMax

MarineMax, the USA's largest recreational boat and yacht dealer, has collaborated with The Yacht Group, the makers of the industry-leading wireless docking system, Yacht Controller. This collaboration will provide MarineMax customers access to the latest advanced docking technology, seamlessly integrating Yacht Controller's wireless control system into new and pre-owned boats. Karla Millan, National Events and Partnership Manager, comments, "MarineMax has always been committed to providing our customers with the best boating technology and ease of use. Our collaboration with The Yacht Group is an exciting step forward in that commitment, allowing us to offer more options in innovative docking experiences that enhance confidence and control for both new and seasoned boaters. With Yacht Controller, we can give our customers a new level of freedom on the water." By working together, The Yacht Group and MarineMax are making it easier than ever for boating enthusiasts to acquire a boat equipped with the intuitive Yacht Controller system. This innovation offers a higher level of confidence and ease, allowing customers to enjoy stress-free docking and maneuvering from the moment they step onboard. "Docking a boat can be challenging for many boaters, especially first-time owners," said Tony Valiente, COO and Managing Partner of The Yacht Group. "By offering the Yacht Controller's new generations models as an option, MarineMax is helping to simplify docking and provide a fully tailored experience designed to meet each boater's unique needs and preferences." At the heart of this collaboration is a shared commitment to delivering enhanced boating experiences. With Yacht Controller technology available across MarineMax's extensive fleet, boaters can enjoy greater precision and control, making their time on the water even more enjoyable. Valiente added, "Our collaboration with MarineMax for over 17 years is a testament to Yacht Controller's proven reliability. With over 22 years of success and approaching 30,000 delivered systems on boats ranging from 30 to 200 feet, we're giving boaters access to cutting-edge technology that empowers them to dock confidently and maximize their time on the water." Boating enthusiasts who purchase from MarineMax's wide selection of vessels can now benefit from this advanced technology, transforming the boating experience into one that is more accessible, enjoyable, and stress-free.

For another year, MarineMax has proudly partnered with the American Cancer Society to promote cancer screening awareness and support the fight for a cure.   On October 10 and 23, MarineMax joined the American Cancer Society in supporting their case to find a cure by wearing their best pink attire nationwide. Team Members went #PinkWithAPurpose to increase awareness, focus on cancer screenings, and encourage those who haven't been screened yet to do so. Research proves that early detection saves lives—and MarineMax is committed to their team members' and customers' health and wellness.   Beth Ferguson Garland, SVP of People Strategy at MarineMax, comments, "We are honored to support this meaningful cause for another year. At MarineMax, the well-being of our team members is central to everything we do. Promoting a healthy lifestyle is a priority, and routine cancer screenings should be essential to that approach. Given the heightened sun exposure in the boating industry, the risk of skin cancers is even greater, making regular screenings all the more critical. As we proudly wore pink to raise breast cancer awareness, we encourage everyone to stay informed about the necessary screenings and consult with their healthcare providers to explore all options."   Beth is a longstanding volunteer and is currently on the Southwest Florida Area Board of Directors for the American Cancer Society Southeast Region.   According to the Breast Cancer Fact & Figures 2024-2025 report from the American Cancer Society, it is estimated that 310,720 people will be diagnosed with new cases of breast cancer in 2024, and 2,790 of those will occur in men. However, with early detection, lives can be saved.    Over 75 MarineMax stores and partners, including Intrepid Powerboats, Cruisers Yachts, Northrop & Johnson, Fraser, IGY Marinas, Fairport, SYD, Newcoast, Boatzon, Boatyard and SkipperBud’s, participated in the #PinkWithAPurpose campaign. As a result, MarineMax donated 10,000 dollars directly and supported the annual Tampa Cattle Baron's Ball by donating a Charter trip to the auction. All proceeds from the auction and donation will go to the American Cancer Society to fund their mission of research, education, and patient and caregiver services.
