PrAtlas/22790132

WILMINGTON, N.C. - PrAtlas -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) is rapidly redefining liquidity, transparency, and scale in the $57 billion U.S. marine industry. Following its successful November 2025 IPO, the company has entered a powerful new growth phase—highlighted by explosive early results from its newly launched luxury brokerage division, Autograph Yacht Group (AYG).

Since its October 2025 launch, Autograph Yacht Group has already secured over $100 million in luxury yacht listings and closed 22 transactions totaling approximately $35 million, signaling immediate traction in the high-end segment of the market. These early results underscore OTH's ability to translate its technology-driven wholesale platform into premium brokerage execution—an evolution few competitors have successfully achieved.

A Scaled Platform in a Fragmented Industry

Founded in 2012 by CEO Jason Ruegg, Off The Hook YS has grown into one of America's largest buyers and sellers of pre-owned boats, acquiring more than $100 million in boats and yachts annually. Headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, with operations across the East Coast and South Florida, OTH operates a nationwide network of offices and marinas, providing brokerage, wholesale, financing, and performance yacht sales under one integrated platform.

What differentiates OTH is its AI-assisted valuation engine and data-driven sales platform, which bring speed, pricing accuracy, and transparency to a traditionally opaque market. This proprietary technology enables OTH to operate as a liquidity provider—connecting buyers and sellers faster while managing inventory risk more effectively than traditional brokerages.

The company's execution has earned consistent recognition, including placement on the Inc. 500 and ranking among the Top 100 Boat Dealers in the United States.

Autograph Yacht Group was launched to target yachts generally ranging from $500,000 to $20 million and above, focusing on high-discretion clients seeking a curated, boutique experience. Unlike traditional luxury brokerages, Autograph can accept trade-ins, a capability enabled by OTH's wholesale and AI-driven valuation infrastructure.

This creates a structural advantage:

• Faster deal velocity
• Expanded buyer pool
• More accurate pricing
• Reduced friction for sellers

Autograph's AI engine intelligently matches buyers and sellers by analyzing vessel data, client preferences, transaction history, and market conditions—enhancing both conversion rates and customer experience.

The division currently operates from waterfront offices in Jupiter and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with the newly announced Jupiter, FL office serving as Autograph Yacht Group's headquarters. The location places OTH at the center of one of the most active luxury boating corridors in the United States.

The company also stands to benefit from favorable macro and policy tailwinds. In July 2025, the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" reinstated 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying boats and yachts purchased by January 19, 2026, allowing eligible business buyers to deduct the full purchase price in year one. Management reports this incentive has already boosted demand and is expected to further accelerate transaction volume into 2026.

Positioned for Long-Term Industry Growth

Beyond near-term sales momentum, OTH is strategically positioned in multiple expanding markets. The broader U.S. marine industry is valued at $57 billion, while the U.S. ship repair and maintenance services market, valued at $6.55 billion in 2025, is projected to grow to $11.72 billion by 2033 at a 7.52% CAGR. OTH's scale, inventory access, and technology infrastructure provide optionality to participate across these value chains.
