MarineMax, Inc. a Florida corporation (“MarineMax”), and Off The Hook Yacht Sales NC, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“OTH”). MarineMax and OTH may be referred to individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.”

1. Purpose. The Parties desire to establish a strategic commercial relationship to collaborate on pre-owned vessel transactions, financing, insurance, and related services, in order to increase transaction volume, speed, and revenue opportunities for both Parties and all affiliates of each party now or in the future.

This Agreement is intended to document a commercial collaboration only and does not create a partnership, joint venture, or fiduciary relationship.

For purposes of this Agreement:

(a) “NEXTBOAT AI Platform” means OTH’s proprietary AI-driven vessel valuation and transaction platform.

(b) “Term” means the period set forth in Section 10.

(c) “Calendar Year” means the period commencing on January 1 and ending on December 31 of the same year; provided that for the partial year in which the Effective Date occurs, all volume-based and income-based thresholds set forth in this Agreement shall be reduced on a pro rata basis based on the number of days remaining in such Calendar Year following the Effective Date.

2. Scope of Relationship.

(a) OTH Responsibilities. OTH will focus on high-volume used vessel valuation, acquisition, resale, and deployment of its NEXTBOAT AI Platform.

(b) MarineMax Responsibilities. MarineMax will leverage its retail origination platform and provide financing and insurance solutions through its affiliated platforms.

(c) The Parties agree to work together in good faith to maximize transaction volume and mutual economic benefit.

3. Pre-Owned Inventory Collaboration

(a) MarineMax will use commercially reasonable efforts to prioritize OTH as a preferred wholesale buyer for pre-owned inventory opportunities; provided, however, that the Parties recognize and agree that this is not an exclusive relationship and MarineMax is not obligated use OTH or its NEXTBOAT AI Platform.

(b) OTH will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide competitive pricing and timely responses to opportunities submitted by MarineMax.

(c) Service Levels. OTH will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide initial pricing responses generally within 60 minutes of receiving a complete submission.

(d) Both Parties agree to engage in good faith and prioritize transactions between the Parties where commercially reasonable.

4. NEXTBOAT AI Platform

(a) OTH will provide MarineMax access to the NEXTBOAT AI Platform via a portal on OTH’s system. [NTD: The NEXTBOAT AI Platform cannot be on MarineMax’s systems]

(b) MarineMax will use commercially reasonable efforts to submit trade-ins, potential trade-ins, and pre-owned inventory opportunities through the NEXTBOAT AI Platform.

(c) The platform will be used to facilitate deal tracking, pricing visibility, communication, and reporting.

(d) Core Functionality. The NEXTBOAT AI Platform will include functionality for real-time bidding by OTH (time-stamped and trackable), a shared deal board (including deal status, pricing history, and transaction progress), internal communication tools, and automated tracking of wholesale volume, rebates, and deal flow.

5. Finance & Insurance Structure

(a) Strategic Capital Alignment. OTH, along with its affiliate, Autograph Yachts, and any future affiliated companies intends to transition away from its internal financing platform and, subject to commercially reasonable terms, direct such financing opportunities to MarineMax’s affiliated platform.

(b) Insurance

(i) Provider. MarineMax (including its affiliated insurance platform) will serve as the exclusive provider of marine insurance solutions for transactions involving OTH, subject at all times to commercially competitive pricing, product availability, and commercially reasonable service standards consistent with prevailing market conditions.

(ii) Revenue Split.

Initial: 50% / 50% (OTH / MarineMax), net of any chargebacks.

Renewals: 50% / 50% (net of any chargebacks), subject to adjustment to 20% / 80% (OTH / MarineMax) after MarineMax achieves $75,000,000 in aggregate annual wholesale volume to OTH, measured on a calendar-year basis, applied prospectively to renewals written after such threshold is achieved.

(iii) Annual Incentive. If MarineMax achieves $120,000,000 in annual wholesale volume to OTH in any calendar year (measured on a calendar-year basis), the following calendar year will begin at a 20% / 80% (OTH / MarineMax) renewal split, net of any chargebacks. If such threshold is not maintained, the split will revert to 50% / 50%, net of any chargebacks.

(iv) Post-Termination. Existing policies that are renewed shall continue to be shared at the then existing Revenue Split for a period of three years following the Termination Date or until such policy is replaced, canceled, or the underlying vessel is sold, whichever is sooner.

(v) Operational Support. MarineMax will provide commercially reasonable quoting and binding support, including a designated point of contact.

(c) Financing

(i) Flow of Business. OTH will direct a commercially reasonable majority of financing opportunities (and in no event less than fifty percent (50%)) arising from transactions submitted through MarineMax or the NEXTBOAT AI Platform to MarineMax’s affiliated platform, subject to commercially competitive terms consistent with prevailing market conditions and service. For the avoidance of doubt, this is not an exclusive financing arrangement, and nothing in this Agreement requires OTH to direct to MarineMax (i) financing on vessels owned or held in inventory by OTH or its affiliates, including indirect or portfolio lending, or (ii) financing arising from brokerage transactions, in each case as to which OTH retains full discretion. This flexibility is intended to mirror MarineMax’s discretion regarding wholesale opportunities under Section 3(a).

(ii) Revenue Split.

Initial: 50% / 50% (OTH / MarineMax)

Adjustment: 60% / 40% (OTH / MarineMax) after $500,000 in cumulative Financing Income is achieved in a calendar year, applied prospectively for the remainder of that year

(iii) Annual Carryforward. If $1,000,000 in Financing Income is achieved in a calendar year, the following calendar year will begin at 60% / 40% (OTH / MarineMax). If such threshold is not achieved, the split resets to 50% / 50%.

(iv) Definition. “Financing Income” means lender-paid compensation, reserves, or other backend income paid in connection with financed transactions, excluding principal loan amounts.

(v) Indemnification. The Parties agree to share equally in the expense of any losses, damages, or penalties arising from a financed transaction (“Loan”) up to and including

(1) all amounts due and owing under the Loan, including all unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts due and payable pursuant to the Loan, together with any amounts paid in connection with such Loan; and/or

(2) all losses and expenses incurred by lender as a result of any breach or untruth (whether actual or alleged), or failure to perform, including attorneys’ fees and costs; sales, use, or other taxes; and expenses with respect to repossessing, storing, repairing, and selling the financed vessel.

6. Wholesale Volume Rebates. Rebates shall be calculated on a tiered, marginal basis based on annual wholesale volume, as set forth in Exhibit A.

(a) Measurement. “Wholesale Volume” means aggregate purchase price of eligible vessels purchased by OTH from MarineMax during the applicable calendar year.

(b) Eligible Transactions. Include (i) MarineMax-sourced trades, (ii) direct purchases sourced by MarineMax, and (iii) opportunities submitted through the NEXTBOAT AI Platform and accepted by OTH.

(c) Payment. Rebates will be calculated quarterly (within 30 days after quarter-end) with a final annual true-up within 60 days after year-end.

Exhibit A – Rebate Structure

Exhibit 99.1

NextBoat Launches National AI Platform Rollout Through Strategic Partnership with MarineMax, the World’s Largest Recreational Boat and Yacht Retailer

Agreement establishes NextBoat as MarineMax’s preferred wholesale and trade-in partner, with pre-owned inventory flowing through the NextBoat AI platform to its nationwide network of wholesale buyers

Wilmington, NC – ACCESS Newswire – July 1, 2026 – NextBoat Inc. (NYSE American: NXB) (“NextBoat” or the “Company”), the AI-powered marine technology company transforming how pre-owned boats are valued, bought, sold and financed, today announced a landmark strategic partnership with MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO) (“MarineMax”), the world’s largest recreational boat and yacht retailer.

Under the agreement, MarineMax becomes the first enterprise dealer group to adopt the NextBoat AI platform as its preferred wholesale partner, routing a significant and growing share of the trade-in and pre-owned inventory it liquidates through the platform—where that inventory is evaluated, marketed, and sold into NextBoat’s nationwide network of wholesale buyers. As one of the highest-volume sellers of pre-owned boats in the industry — with over $2.3 billion in annual revenue across 120 locations worldwide — MarineMax is expected to drive increased volume across the NextBoat AI platform, which the Company believes will accelerate the growth of its marketplace, data, and financing businesses. The Company believes this relationship represents a defining milestone in its strategy to become the leading technology infrastructure for the marine industry’s pre-owned marketplace.

For decades, the wholesale and trade-in process has relied on fragmented buyer networks, manual pricing, phone calls and individual relationships. NextBoat AI was built to modernize that process through artificial intelligence, real-time transaction data and a unified digital marketplace that enables dealers to move inventory faster, improve pricing transparency, and increase operational efficiency.

The NextBoat AI Platform delivers:

Beyond improving transaction efficiency, the partnership enables significant long-term revenue opportunities through financing and marine insurance.

Inclusive of the partnership, NextBoat will leverage Newcoast, MarineMax’s finance and insurance arm, to provide financing and insurance solutions across transactions originating on the platform. As transaction volume increases, each financed and insured vessel has the potential to generate recurring insurance renewal revenue and additional financing income, creating what the Company believes could become a meaningful annuity-like revenue stream for both organizations over time.

“For 15 years, I’ve believed the marine industry deserved the same technology, transparency and scale that transformed automotive retail. Today, the largest and most respected company in our industry has chosen to deploy the platform we built — we believe that validation speaks not only to what NextBoat has built, but to where this industry is headed,” said Jason Ruegg, Founder and Executive Chairman of NextBoat.

Ruegg added, “This marks the beginning of enterprise-scale deployment of the NextBoat platform. Every transaction creates an opportunity for financing and insurance that can generate recurring revenue through policy renewals for years to come. As adoption grows, we believe that recurring revenue stream could become one of the most valuable components of our business.”

“This partnership brings together two industry leading organizations committed to innovation and improving the trade-in and pre-owned customer experience,” said Kyle Langbehn, Executive Vice President and President of Retail Operations at MarineMax. “By integrating NextBoat’s advanced technology into our pre-owned retail platform, we believe we can improve efficiency while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our customers. Additionally, the partnership with Newcoast will drive meaningful finance and insurance revenue with the industry’s leading team and products.”

The Company believes MarineMax’s adoption provides significant third-party validation of the NextBoat AI platform while establishing the foundation for expansion across additional dealer groups, brokerages and marine industry participants throughout North America. As additional participants join the network, NextBoat expects to enhance pricing intelligence, improve marketplace liquidity, increase transaction velocity, and strengthen the value of the platform for all users.

“Our vision extends well beyond individual transactions,” Ruegg said. “We believe the marine industry is ready for a modern technology platform that improves efficiency across every stage of the ownership lifecycle. MarineMax becoming our first enterprise partner is an important milestone toward building that future.”
