OffThe Hook Yachts’ Autograph Yacht Group Achieves Substantial Q4 2025 Momentum in Luxury Yacht Sales
Newluxury brokerage secures ~$100 million in listings and closes 22 deals worth ~$35 million since October launch
OffThe Hook’s comprehensive platform integrates premium brokerage and wholesale trade-ins driven by industry-leading AI engine withAzure financing to accelerate high-end inventory turns and capture more margin opportunities
Boutiqueapproach led by veteran Florida team delivers early traction with discerning buyers and sellers
Wilmington, NC — January 5, 2026—Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off the Hook” or “the Company”), America’s largest buyer and seller of pre-owned boats, today announced strong fourth-quarter 2025 momentum at Autograph Yacht Group, the Company’s internally created luxury yacht brokerage division launched in October 2025.
In its first quarter of operations, Autograph rapidly established traction in the upper end of the market focusing on yachts generally ranging from $500,000 to $20 million and up, while also strengthening Off The Hook’s broader platform through meaningful operational synergies with the Company’s AI-driven used-boat wholesale trading capabilities and Azure Funding, the Company’s marine finance division.
While traditional yacht brokerages typically cannot embrace trade-ins, Autograph Yacht Group does, powered by Off The Hook’s platform, a proprietary, industry-leading AI engine that supports Autograph’s brokerage operations, creating a clear competitive advantage. The system is designed to intelligently match buyers and sellers by analyzing client preferences, vessel data, market conditions, and transaction history which enhances deal velocity, pricing accuracy and overall client experience.
“Autograph was built to elevate how premium yachts are represented and sold, while also making our entire platform stronger,” said Brian John, CEO of Off The Hook. “When a high-end buyer wants to trade in, we can leverage Off The Hook’s scale as a leading pre-owned buyer and seller to create liquidity fast. When a buyer wants financing, Azure can help provide tailored marine lending solutions. Ultimately, when a luxury yacht owner demands white-glove brokerage, Autograph delivers it, supported by the data, reach, and transaction infrastructure we’ve built across the Company. That integrated model is designed to help us turn inventory faster, capture more margin opportunities, and improve the customer experience end-to-end.”
Autograph’s boutique brokerage model blends expert valuation, strategic marketing, and personalized service designed specifically for high-discretion clients seeking a more curated sales experience. Autograph currently operates from waterfront offices in Jupiter and Fort Lauderdale, Florida, providing local expertise in one of the most active luxury boating corridors in the U.S.
“Autograph launched with a clear mission: deliver the highest standard in yacht brokerage for the most discerning customers,” said Mike Burke, President of Autograph Yacht Group. “Our Florida team brings more than 100 years of combined experience, and we’ve assembled nine brokers focused on executing a boutique, high-touch process that earns trust and closes transactions. In just our first quarter in business to date, we’ve compiled roughly $100 million in listings and closed 22 deals totaling about $35 million in sales volume, contributing meaningful brokerage commission revenue to Off The Hook. We’re extremely optimistic about our growth trajectory as we continue to pair exceptional client service with the strength of Off The Hook’s broader platform.”
