Off The Hook Yachts Expands Into New Boat Sales With Sportsman And Phenom Brands, Powered By Unique Storage Ecosystem

April 16, 2026 · TopStocks

Wilmington, NC, April 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off the Hook” or “the Company”), a vertically integrated, AI-powered marine marketplace and one of the largest buyers and sellers of used boats in the United States, today announced a major expansion with the addition of Sportsman Boats and Phenom Yachts.

"We are incredibly proud to serve the Wilmington community, one of the fastest growing cities in America. This is a market that understands boating, values the water, and continues to grow. Being part of Wilmington's expansion and contributing to its marine economy is something that we take seriously and are deeply excited about", said Jason Ruegg, President of Off The Hook Yachts.

"Sportsman Boats represents one of the most respected names in the industry, known for consistent quality, strong resale value, and a loyal customer base built over time. Phenom Yachts brings a complementary energy to the lineup, with a modern, performance-driven approach that resonates with the next generation of boaters. Together, these brands align perfectly with Off The Hook Yachts' platform where every new boat sold feeds a larger ecosystem of trade-ins, service, and long-term customer relationships. It’s a model designed not just for today's sale, but for the entire lifecycle of the customer", said Blake Phillips, COO of Off the Hook Yachts.

These brands will be sold through Bellhart Marine, located on Market Street in Wilmington, North Carolina, a company Off The Hook has committed to acquire.

Strategic Differentiation: Sales + Storage + Service

While Bellhart Marine will serve as the Company’s retail dealership hub, Off The Hook will leverage Sloop Point Marina as a powerful supporting asset, creating a unique competitive advantage in the market.

Sloop Point is not a dealership, but rather a large-scale dry stack storage facility for customers, currently operating 224 racks with approvals to expand to 450.

This structure allows Off The Hook to offer something few, if any, competitors can match:

Integrated Storage Access tied directly to boat purchases
Immediate Customer Capture into Off The Hook’s ecosystem
Long-term recurring revenue through storage and service
A frictionless ownership experience for buyers

“No one else in our market combines dealership operations with this level of storage control,” the Company stated. “Sloop Point is a strategic tool that enhances our ability to sell boats faster and retain customers long after the initial transaction.”

Launch Incentive to Drive Immediate Sales

Customers who purchase a Sportsman boat through Bellhart Marine from now through July 31 will receive one year of complimentary storage at Sloop Point Marina.

Building a High-Margin Revenue Flywheel

The addition of new boat sales is expected to generate significant downstream revenue opportunities across Off The Hook’s platform, including:

Trade-ins fueling pre-owned boat inventory
Financing through in-house platform
Extended warranties and protection products
Insurance offerings
Service and maintenance revenue

"We believe no one in the marine industry is better positioned to support a boat buyer with a trade than we are. Our fully integrated platform that combines new boat sales, a used boat marketplace, storage, service, and financing allow us to seamlessly take in trades, price them intelligently, and immediately place them into our ecosystem. That creates a smoother experience for the customer and a stronger supply engine for our business”, added Blake Philips.

Service Expansion and Market Opportunity

Bellhart Marine will oversee service operations tied to Sloop Point Marina. With up to 450 stored boats at full buildout and thousands more nearby, Off The Hook sees strong long-term service revenue potential. With Sportsman, Phenom, and Yellowfin, Off The Hook expects up to 100 new boat sales annually at scale.

Disciplined Expansion

Off The Hook emphasized this is a strategic expansion, not a shift away from its core used boat focus. Brian John, CEO of Off The Hook added "New boat sales are a strategic input into Off The Hook's core business, driving trade-ins, increasing used inventory supply, and accelerating customer acquisition into its ecosystem. Sportsman and Phenom have spent years building trust through product. We're building trust through the ownership experience. When you combine the two, you create a model that’s incredibly hard to replicate."

Relqo Media LLC does not, and has not, independently verified, investigated, audited, or substantiated any statements, representations, or claims made by the featured company, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents, press releases, marketing materials, or any third-party sources.

Any and all information regarding Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH), including but not limited to business descriptions, operating updates, acquisitions, revenue projections, financing arrangements, partnerships, inventory growth, expansion plans, or strategic plans, should be assumed to be unverified, unaudited, incomplete, potentially inaccurate, and subject to change without notice.

We make no warranties or representations as to the truthfulness, accuracy, reliability, or completeness of such information, and you should not interpret our publication of these statements as an endorsement or confirmation of their validity.

You should not rely on any company provided claims, projections, or forward looking statements for the purpose of making an investment decision. All such statements may be speculative, overstated, selectively presented, or based on assumptions that may never materialize.

If you choose to invest, you do so entirely at your own risk, and you should conduct thorough, independent due diligence, including reviewing SEC filings, consulting licensed investment professionals, and obtaining independent verification of any material facts, before making any investment decision.

5. MARKET INFLUENCE AND TRADING PATTERN EXPECTATION

Historically, promotional campaigns for microcap and small-cap securities, particularly those driven by paid advertising, often cause temporary, artificial, and unsustainable increases in share price and trading volume. These movements are typically fueled by short-term speculative interest, promotional circulation, algorithmic trading activity, and momentum-based retail buying rather than any change in the underlying business, operations, or financial condition of the company.

You should assume and expect that:

OTH's share price may experience sharp, rapid, and potentially extreme increases during the period of active promotion;
Trading volume may spike dramatically due to speculative buying pressure, news catalysts amplified by promotional activity, and social media or online forum chatter;
Once buying interest subsides, selling begins, or the promotion ends, which may occur suddenly and without notice, the share price may decline precipitously, potentially returning to pre-promotion levels or lower, often within days or even hours; and
These price and volume movements are not reflective of intrinsic value and may have no correlation to the company's actual fundamentals or long-term business prospects.

Past market behavior shows that such promotional price spikes are frequently followed by steep losses, which can be rapid and irreversible. If you purchase shares during or shortly after a promotional period, you should be prepared for the high probability of losing a substantial portion, or all, of your investment.

By engaging with our content, you acknowledge and agree that you fully understand the speculative, volatile, and high-risk nature of securities subject to promotional activity, and you will not hold Relqo Media LLC responsible for any losses resulting from such trading patterns.

6. NO RELIANCE, INVESTOR RESPONSIBILITY
