MarineMax said in a news release, filed as an exhibit to a regulatory filing dated November 4, 2026, that Safe Harbor will acquire all of its common stock for $53.00 a share in cash. The company puts the enterprise value at about $1.5 billion and says the deal was first announced on August 10, 2026. The details come from MarineMax’s own news release and have not been independently verified; Stock Titan’s summary of the filing reports the same terms.

MarineMax says its board approved the agreement unanimously and expects closing by the end of calendar 2026, subject to customary closing conditions that include a MarineMax shareholder vote. It describes Safe Harbor as a marina and superyacht service business. The sources give no Safe Harbor marina count, name no regulatory conditions, and do not say how MarineMax’s marinas would be run afterward.

MarineMax (NYSE: HZO) reports over 120 locations worldwide, including over 65 marina and storage facilities. Its IGY Marinas unit operates luxury marinas in yachting and sport fishing destinations. Fourth-quarter revenue of $520.1 million, down from $552.2 million, covers the whole company, not marinas alone.
