Off The Hook YS Inc. grew from a focused boat-brokerage and wholesaling operation into a platform centered on buying, refurbishing and reselling recreational boats and yachts. The company is headquartered in Wilmington, North Carolina, where its corporate offices and much of its transaction coordination are based. Its origin in hands-on brokerage and vessel acquisition established a business model that emphasizes speed of transaction, valuation accuracy and dealer relationships.
The business concentrates on sourcing, appraising, reconditioning and selling pre-owned boats through wholesale and retail channels. Operating under the customer-facing brand Off the Hook Yachts, the company offers brokerage services, direct purchases from sellers, and inventory sold through regional locations and online listings. That combination of brokerage expertise and wholesale buying lets the firm trade volume of inventory while supporting dealer and consumer sales with parts, transport coordination and basic reconditioning services.
Manufacturing isn’t part of the model; instead, the company’s operational architecture centers on multi-site logistics, valuation technology and a dealer/wholesale distribution pipeline. Facilities and field teams focus on inspection, minor refurbishment and staging for transport, while centralized systems manage pricing, listing and purchase offers. This asset-light, vertically coordinated approach lets Off The Hook scale transaction throughput and maintain tight inventory turn while keeping capital tied up mainly in stock-in-trade rather than production assets.
Industry observers and trade publications position the company as a fast-growing wholesaler and a prominent buyer in the used-boat market, known for buying large volumes of vessels and using data-driven valuation to accelerate deals. Its reputation rests on streamlined purchasing processes, a large resale inventory, and service offerings that help brokers and consumers move boats quickly; those strengths make it a recognizable participant in the U.S. pre-owned marine channel.
