Markedly, the acquisitions of Northrop & Johnson in July 2020 and Fraser Yachts in 2019 strengthened its position in the superyacht category. In October last year, the company announced the buyout of SkipperBud’s and its affiliate, Silver Seas Yachts. The buyout has meaningfully enhanced MarineMax’s presence in the Great Lakes region and the West Coast of the United States.Quite obviously, aforementioned strategic acquisitions have been positively impacting the company’s revenue performance.

We note that the company has been largely benefiting as consumers embrace and enjoy the boating lifestyle.
