Oldsmar, Fla., Feb 27 — MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer, marina operator and superyacht services company, today announced that its IGY Marinas subsidiary has renewed its management and marketing agreement for St. Katharine Docks Marina in London, England.
Described as a nautical enclave in the middle of one of the world’s greatest cities, St. Katharine Docks Marina offers charm 200 years in its making. Situated approximately 40 nautical miles up the River Thames, it lies adjacent to the Tower of London and within walking distance of many of the city’s most renowned landmarks.
