100% Bonus Depreciation Places New Spotlight on Off The Hook Yacht Sales Inc. (N Y S E: OTH) as a Major Player in the $57 Billion U.S. Marine Market
eMusic Wire/10325185

WILMINGTON, N.C. - eMusicWire -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (N Y S E American: OTH): With the passage of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBBA)—legislation that restores 100% bonus depreciation for qualifying boat purchases through January 19, 2026—investors are taking fresh notice of OTH, one of America's largest buyers and sellers of pre-owned boats. The company appears uniquely positioned to capitalize on what could become one of the strongest incentive-driven buying cycles in recent marine history.

A Fast-Growing National Marine Powerhouse

Founded in 2012 by CEO Jason Ruegg, Off The Hook YS Inc. has expanded from a single-location start-up into a national leader in the pre-owned marine sector. Today the company:

• Acquires more than $100 million in boats and yachts annually
• Operates across multiple states with a nationwide network of offices and marinas
• Provides brokerage, wholesale, and performance yacht sales
• Utilizes AI-assisted valuation tools and a data-driven sales platform to streamline pricing and transaction speed
• Consistently ranks on the Inc. 500 and among the Top 100 Dealers in the USA

With the U.S. marine industry valued at $57 billion, and the U.S. ship repair and maintenance services market projected to grow from $6.55 billion in 2025 to $11.72 billion by 2033, OTH is positioned in the center of two expanding markets with long-term tailwinds.

A Game-Changing Tax Incentive Fuels Demand

On December 1st, OTH reminded customers that the newly reinstated 100% bonus depreciation allows eligible business buyers to deduct the entire purchase price of a qualifying vessel in the first year it is placed in service—so long as it is used more than 50% for legitimate business purposes.

"This incentive is a game-changer," said CEO Jason Ruegg.
He added that OTH's expanding brokerage team has already seen demand rising sharply as business owners seek to take advantage of this unprecedented tax window.

With one of the broadest all-brand inventories in the country—and far more depth than traditional brand-specific dealers—OTH is positioned to serve buyers quickly during what may be a historically advantageous 2025–2026 purchasing period.

Strategic Expansion: New Luxury Brokerage HQ in Jupiter, Florida

In November, the company announced a major Florida expansion. Its new Jupiter, FL office will serve as the headquarters for Autograph Yacht Group (AYG)—a luxury brokerage division led by yacht industry veteran Mike Burke.

The Jupiter facility includes:

• Office space for C-level executives and the AYG leadership team
• Six on-site boat slips for premium inventory
• A build-out scheduled for completion in early 2026

CEO Brian S. John noted that the new location further anchors OTH in one of the busiest yachting markets in the United States, supporting higher-end buyers seeking premium brokerage services.

A Compelling Investment Narrative Forms

Between:

• a national footprint,
• leadership in the pre-owned marine market,
• a strong technology-enabled sales platform,
• aggressive expansion into luxury brokerage,
• and the reinstated 100% bonus depreciation driving near-term demand,

Off The Hook YS Inc. (N Y S E American: OTH) stands out as a fast-growing, vertically integrated player in one of the most resilient lifestyle and recreation sectors in the U.S. economy.

With pre-owned boats representing an increasingly important segment of the marine market—and with tax incentives making 2025–2026 particularly appealing for business buyers—OTH appears positioned at the intersection of strong consumer demand, market growth, and unique legislative advantage.
