OTH NextBoat is far more than a marketplace. The platform enables brokers, buyers, dealers, and resellers to source inventory, access AI-driven valuations, secure financing, and complete transactions digitally within a single ecosystem. At its core, OTH NextBoat is designed to power a growing network of independent marine entrepreneurs—including brokers, wholesalers, and resellers—allowing them to operate their businesses without the traditional overhead of brickand-mortar dealerships or brokerage offices. Rather than building expensive physical locations, OTH believes technology enables a scalable, decentralized distribution network, where participants can buy and sell boats from virtually anywhere while leveraging OTH NextBoat's technology, capital, financing, and operational infrastructure.
OTH NextBoat is embedding artificial intelligence throughout the transaction process, including:
AI-Driven Valuations to improve pricing accuracy.
AI-Assisted Acquisition to identify undervalued and off-market opportunities.
AI-Driven Closings (Next Phase) designed to automate documentation and workflows to support significant transaction growth.
AI-Powered Matching to connect buyers and sellers more efficiently.
OTH NextBoat combines:
Consumer marketplace transactions.
Dealer trade-in and wholesale liquidity through Off The Hook Yachts.
Auction and liquidation channels.
Financing and insurance solutions.
Long-term ownership and marine services.

APEX's facilities include prime storage and service locations, haul-out capacity up to 150 metric tons and vessels up to 130 feet, and comprehensive in-house teams covering repair, refit, and refurbishment.

Expanding Into New Boat Sales with Sportsman and Phenom Brands, Powered by Unique Storage Ecosystem
On April 16th OTH announced a major expansion with the addition of Sportsman Boats and Phenom Yachts. These brands will be sold through Bellhart Marine, located on Market Street in Wilmington, North Carolina, a company OTH has committed to acquire.
While Bellhart Marine will serve as the Company's retail dealership hub, OTH 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.
Global Broker Expansion Initiative, Introducing Scalable Five-Tier Growth Model
On April 9th OTH announced the launch of its global broker expansion initiative, with a newly introduced five-tier recruitment and performance structure. At the center of this expansion is a bold vision: to make boat and yacht sales one of the most rewarding, opportunity-rich careers on earth - where professionals can build meaningful income while helping people experience the freedom, joy, and lifestyle that only life on the water can deliver.
Since going public in November, OTH has nearly tripled its sales organization and its available capital resources, positioning the Company for its next phase of growth.
