CLEARWATER, FL (January 20, 2022) – MarineMax Vacations enters the new year with a significant milestone, their 10th anniversary. Throughout this decade, the growth of MarineMax Vacations speaks wonders to the dedication and passion the team provides customers with memories that will last them a lifetime. This evolution has led them to partner with outstanding people such as The Wandering Hillbilly, Sports Illustrated, The Wheel of Fortune, British Virgin Islands Tourist Board and many other friends made along the way. 

In 2012, MarineMax Vacations began with an initial fleet of 13 sailboats in the British Virgin Islands. Today they are voted number one charter company in the British Virgin Islands twice, and the fleet has grown to over fifty custom award-winning Aquila power catamarans. The most recent addition to the fleet is the Aquila 54, an elegant cruising model offering on-board amenities enhanced with full size refrigeration, induction cooktop, C-Zone AC/DC control screens, individual cabin AC controls, 6-foot queen and king size mattresses and more. With more than 60 islands to discover, the British Virgin Islands is the world’s best boating, and MarineMax Vacations offers the best charter experience. 

Raul Bermudez, Vice President of MarineMax Vacations, comments, “Ten years have gone quickly but not without creating some amazing memories for our many loyal and enthusiastic guests and charter yacht owners. Born from our commitment to expand our client’s boating lifestyle, the MarineMax Vacations division has and continues to offer new and unique boating opportunities in the British Virgin Islands.” 

Maintaining charter services on the islands comes with many challenges. Daily maintenance is obvious but adjusting to extreme conditions posed by mother nature can be tricky. MarineMax Vacations persevered through the detriment that Hurricane Irma left the island in 2017 and then learned to adapt to the trying times of the pandemic. The team has an ability to adapt quickly and focus on the mission to provide the number one charter experience for guests, no matter what may come their way. Their team is consistently raising the bar so customers can experience the once-in-a-lifetime trip they deserve. 

Bermudez continues, “Focusing on maintaining the MarineMax standard with quality, trained, and local professional staff has built a team unlike any other in the territory. Our staff at the base is among the highest caliber in the Islands. Our customer service specialists have deep relations and connections across the island chain to deliver your every desire. And our factory-trained technical staff stock an abundance of on-hand parts to keep vessels in top shape and ensure efficient and reliable service. No one in the business has this level of commitment to delivering reliable and professional charter experiences.” 

The 10-year milestone is just the beginning of many more to come for MarineMax Vacations. With over 35,000 charter guests throughout the decade, their success in the industry isn’t going unnoticed. MarineMax Vacations can’t wait to see what the next decade will bring for their team and customers.
