United States with 27 locations across the country.

The sales brokerage offices will primarily focus on listing, marketing and management of brokerage boat sales and will also provide an outlet for new
and used boat sales for MarineMax. The first phase of these offices will open in Massachusetts, New Jersey, Ohio, Michigan, Georgia and Mississippi.
The structure of the alliance is such that the costs to both Marinas International and MarineMax are minimized and tied directly to the success of the
operation.
"We are excited to establish this partnership with Marinas International and their team, which has a proven track record in marina management. This
strategic business alliance will provide MarineMax with the opportunity to expand our geographic coverage and reach additional customers in areas we
have not been." said William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of MarineMax. "Furthermore, we are excited about
potential opportunities to extend our relationship with Marinas International in more of their marinas and explore opportunities for partnerships in
service, including utilizing the MarineMax Rewards Club and its partners."
