In this powerful episode of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas welcomes Chuck Cashman, Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President of MarineMax, for an in-depth conversation filmed at the scenic Palm Beach Boat Show.

From legendary partnerships with brands like Ocean Alexander and Sea Ray to the bold expansion into the superyacht sector via Fraser and Northrop & Johnson, Chuck shares candid insights into the strategic decisions shaping the future of MarineMax and the wider boating industry.

They dive into the decline of yacht building in North America, the critical need for vocational training, and how marina ownership—highlighted by the IGY Marinas acquisition—is reshaping business models across the marine sector. This is a no-holds-barred conversation on resilience, innovation, and legacy in yachting.

Whether you're in brokerage, boat building, or simply passionate about life on the water—this one's for you.
