Are you ready to navigate the intricate waters of the yachting industry's recent merger and acquisition wave? We dissect the angles of this fascinating development, starting with the superyacht industry's consolidation and its implications. We discuss the big deals rocking the boat, like MarineMax's acquisition of IGY Marinas, Northrop & Johnson, and Frasier Yachts, as well as Safe Harbor's purchase of Savannah Yacht Center. We also unpack the exciting, yet often uneasy, process of these acquisitions, particularly when iconic companies get swallowed up.
Join renowned maritime attorney Michael Moore and journalist Diane M. Byrne as they share invaluable insight into previous mergers and acquisitions in yachting--ones likely overlooked in today's climate. We also tap into the role of 'blank check' companies, discuss the potential perks of merging Fraser and Northrop & Johnson with MarineMax, and contemplate the customer's perspective and the captain's role in decision-making. This episode is a must for anyone eager to understand the ebbs and flows of the thriving yacht industry.
