The Hook Yachts Expands Northeast and Mid-Atlantic Presence with Two New Strategic Marina Offices
New
locations in Rhode Island and New Jersey enhance regional market density, increase transaction flow, and support continued broker hiring
Wilmington,
NC – April 6, 2026 – Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off
the Hook” or “the Company”), a vertically integrated, AI-powered marine marketplace and the largest buyer and seller of used boats in the
United States, today announced the opening of two new strategic marina-based offices in East Greenwich,
Rhode Island and Cape May, New Jersey.
“This
expansion reflects a deliberate focus on deepening our presence in two of the most active and attractive boating markets on the East
Coast,” said Brian John, CEO of Off The Hook Yachts. “By establishing a physical footprint at premier marinas in Rhode Island
and Cape May, we’re increasing our ability to source high-quality inventory, accelerate transaction velocity, and better serve
both buyers and sellers. Just as importantly, these locations position us to attract top brokerage talent in regions with deep marine
expertise, which is a critical component of how we continue to scale the platform.”
East
Greenwich, Rhode Island – Greenwich Cove Marina
Off
The Hook Yachts has established its New England headquarters at Greenwich Cove Marina in East Greenwich, Rhode Island.
The
location provides immediate access to one of the most active and affluent boating regions in the Northeast, including nearby Newport,
Block Island, Montauk, Nantucket, Marthas Vineyard and other surrounding coastal communities. Rhode Island’s tax-free
status on boat purchases further supports transaction efficiency and buyer demand.
The East Greenwich office will serve as the central hub for all New
England operations. John Parker—an experienced maritime professional with more than three decades on the water, including time as
a U.S. Navy instructor and commercial vessel captain—will be based in East Greenwich and support regional growth initiatives.
In
addition to its strategic positioning, the marina’s surrounding waterfront environment—featuring high-traffic dining and
lifestyle destinations—creates what we believe is a natural platform for brand visibility, client acquisition, and broker recruitment.
Cape
May, New Jersey – Cape May Marina
The
Company has also opened a new office at Cape May Marina in Cape May, New Jersey, strengthening its presence in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The
waterfront office overlooks the marina and is situated within a full-service destination featuring a pool, bar, and grille, providing
an ideal setting for client engagement and deal flow.
The
Cape May office will be spearheaded by Scott White, a 25-year industry veteran who recently joined Off The Hook Yachts
from United Yacht Sales. White brings extensive experience in brokerage and regional market development and will lead the Company’s
efforts across the Jersey Shore and surrounding markets.
