TAMPA, Fla., June 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Joe Labon's Ultimate family of exotic vehicle dealerships has opened the doors on its newest venture: . With this move, Labon stakes a claim in a billion-dollar industry in Tampa Bay and provides boat sales coverage for this important stretch of shore among Florida's 8,436 miles of coastline.
The economic impact of recreational boating in Florida cannot be overstated. It is the biggest marine market in the nation with an estimated impact of $31.3 billion annually. Tampa accounts for $1.4 billion of it. On the whole, Central Florida's marine industry has no shortage of boat builders, parts manufacturers, and suppliers that power recreational boat owners' ability to maintain, customize, stock, and otherwise bestow love on their boats.
Boat retailers, then, are left to curate an experience for Central Florida boat buyers that leverages this wealth of options. The recent exponential growth of the Ultimate Marine brand appears to indicate that it is Ultimate Marine keeping others in its wake.
Ultimate Marine is Already a Leading US Dealer of Sea Hunt Boats
It's no secret that Labon is well connected in Central Florida. Like a well-machined hull slicing through a wave, Labon's ambition and team management have found a welcoming path through the corridors of wealth as well as the more family-friendly corners of Central Florida. In their first year, Ultimate Marine has become one of the largest dealers of Sea Hunt Boats in America.
Labon is the managing partner of the Ultimate family of dealerships which now includes Ultimate Auto (custom luxury and exotic cars), Ultimate Marine (high-end sports boats, yachts, and family watercraft), and Ultimate Carts (custom EV golf carts).
In Tampa, his team set their sights on building out what would become Ultimate Marine's flagship location – a shiny new showroom as well as an advanced facility to offer in-house manufacture and customization for the boats they sell. The new Ultimate Marine showroom and factory is located at 7501 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33614 (closed Sundays).
In addition to its relationship with , Ultimate Marine is an industry-leading, authorized retailer of Spyder flats boats, HCB Yachts (high-end central console sports yachts), Fountain Powerboats (a line of performance center console offshore fishing boats), SÅŒLACE Boats, and XO Boats, a style-forward lineup of innovative engineering.
The Boat Dealership as Purveyor of Lifestyle
Labon himself would attribute his success to the cornerstones of his business that he has adhered to for 30 years: choice at every level, and a set of ideals his business has ratified as the "Ultimate Experience."
At its core, the Ultimate Experience is a set of business practices, centered around customer service, aimed at winning customers for life. After nearly 30 years of offering white-glove service to not only luxury car owners but the specific subset who want custom luxury cars, Labon's company knows a thing or two about satisfying the most discerning and demanding of customers.
As the fastest-growing part of the Ultimate umbrella, Ultimate Marine presents an opportunity for Labon and his team to cast a wider net – to offer the same bespoke experience to boat buyers at any level.
As it stands, their offer to demonstrate their success is a simple invitation to come visit: Ultimate Marine Tampa Bay is at 7501 North Dale Mabry Highway.
