Giant boat retailer opens pair of new marinas

MarineMax, the Pinellas County boat retailer and marina operator, has opened two new facilities in June, one on Florida’s East Coast and the another in Georgia.

The latest to open is MarineMax Stuart Marina in Stuart, between Jupiter Island and Jensen Beach.

The company, in a statement Monday, says the just-completed marina is next to one of its existing retail and service centers. It will offer storage for more than 100 boats and is equipped with lifts that can handle up to 56,000 pounds.
