MarineMax enters into definitive agreement to be acquired by Blackstone Infrastructure Portfolio Company

MarineMax Shareholders to Receive $53.00 Per Share in Cash
Sale is Direct Outcome of Strategic Review Process Led by the MarineMax Board of Directors
MarineMax, Inc., a marina operator, superyacht services company and boat and yacht retailer, and Safe Harbor Marinas (“Safe Harbor”), a marina and superyacht service business, today announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement, under which Safe Harbor will acquire all issued and outstanding shares of common stock of MarineMax for $53.00 per share in cash. The all-cash transaction represents an enterprise value of approximately $1.5 billion.
The purchase price represents a premium of 96% to MarineMax’s closing share price of $27.03 on January 30, 2026, the last trading day prior to public disclosure of an unsolicited non-binding proposal to acquire 100% of the Company, as well as a premium of 110% to the Company’s 90-day volume weighted average price for the period ended January 30, 2026.
The transaction is the culmination of a competitive strategic review process led by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and management, with the assistance of the Company’s independent financial and legal advisors.
“We are pleased to have reached this agreement with Safe Harbor,” said Brett McGill, Chief Executive Officer and President of MarineMax. “Throughout this process, we have remained focused on maximizing value for our shareholders and positioning MarineMax for continued growth and success. I am proud of the strength of our differentiated, resilient and integrated model, loyal customer base, talented team and premium product portfolio. The scale of our combined platforms will help us enhance and expand our offerings, deepen our partner and customer relationships, and provide greater opportunities for our team.”
Baxter Underwood, Chief Executive Officer of Safe Harbor, said, “MarineMax has a talented team and deep relationships across the industry. By bringing together these two complementary businesses, we believe we can create greater value for boaters and an expanded service offering for the industry. We look forward to partnering with the MarineMax team to support their next chapter of growth.”
Rebecca White, Chairperson of the Board, added, “The transaction announced today is the result of careful consideration and negotiation by the Board and management. Following a thoughtful and comprehensive process, the Board unanimously concluded that this transaction is in the best interests of MarineMax and its shareholders, and that the transaction price represents compelling and certain value for MarineMax’s shares.”
