Off The Hook Acquires Strategic Waterfront Property on Chesapeake Bay
Off The Hook YS announced the acquisition of a strategic waterfront property on the Chesapeake Bay, one of the most active boating corridors in the United States. The acquisition will serve as the Company's new Mid-Atlantic operational hub in a high-density marine market while expanding capabilities for inventory reconditioning, storage, financing, and asset recovery. A major component of the acquisition is the site's extensive storage capacity. The property can accommodate up to 150 boats, allowing Off the Hook to house a large portion of its regional inventory on site. Previously, the Company relied on third-party storage at an average cost of approximately $500 per boat per month, a recurring expense that will now be largely eliminated through ownership of the property. Off the Hook plans to staff the facility with 15-20 yacht brokers focused on sourcing inventory, managing brokerage and consignment listings, and facilitating transactions. The site will also serve as a regional logistics center, supporting efficient inventory movement and transaction execution. The Piney Narrows facility is expected to begin operating as Off the Hook's primary Maryland hub in the coming months.
