CLEARWATER, FL — July 21, 2005 — MarineMax, Inc. (NYSE: HZO), the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer, today announced record revenue and earnings for the third quarter of fiscal 2005.

For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, revenue increased 39.3% to $306.1 million from $219.7 million for the comparable quarter last year. Same-store sales increased 37.0%, or $80.9 million, versus an 11.0% increase in same-store sales for the comparable quarter last year. Net income improved 33.0% to $13.8 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, from net income of $10.4 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, for the comparable quarter last year.

For the nine-month period ended June 30, 2005, revenue grew 24.2% to $718.7 million compared with $578.7 million for the comparable period in fiscal 2004. Same-store sales increased 22.5% on top of a 25.3% increase in the year ago period. Net income increased 29.5% to $23.7 million, or $1.33 per diluted share, from net income of $18.3 million, or $1.10 per diluted share, for the nine months ended June 30, 2004.

William H. McGill, Jr., Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President stated, “We are pleased to announce another quarter of record results. This quarter marks the 10^th consecutive quarter of solid same-store sales growth. Our performance demonstrates that we have the right strategies and team in place to capitalize on improved industry fundamentals. Our team’s execution of our full-service approach to satisfying our customers continues to set us apart from the rest of the industry.”

Mr. McGill concluded, “The MarineMax brand, offering an unmatched product line, our industry leading team, and one stop approach continues to enable us to differentiate ourselves in the eyes of boating enthusiasts. While the industry is generally doing better than it was a few years ago, we are fairly certain that our internal growth, which is primarily unit driven, is greatly outpacing our competitors. Our balance sheet continues to gain formidable strength, supporting us in achieving our growth strategies. We are pleased with our solid inventory position which allows us to capitalize on improving industry trends. Over time these competitive advantages, along with our strategies and team, should enable us to continue growth and market share gains for MarineMax and increased returns for our stockholders.”

Based on current business conditions, retail trends and other factors, MarineMax is raising its guidance for fiscal 2005 from the range of $1.75 to $1.80 per diluted share to the range of $1.82 to $1.87 per diluted share. Beginning in fiscal 2006 the Company will be expensing stock options as currently required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123R Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R). For fiscal 2006, before the impact of SFAS 123R, the Company expects earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $2.05 to $2.10. Given the Company’s current option structure and interpretations of SFAS 123R, the Company estimates the impact of expensing stock options to be approximately $0.10 per diluted share on an annual basis. As such, the post stock-option expense guidance range for fiscal 2006 is $1.95 to $2.00 per diluted share. The Company’s 2006 guidance assumes same-store sales growth in the high single digits. The Company’s guidance excludes the impact from any potential material acquisitions that it may complete.

Headquartered in Clearwater, Florida, MarineMax is the nation’s largest recreational boat retailer. Focused on premium brands, such as Sea Ray, Boston Whaler, Meridian, Hatteras, Grady White, and the Ferretti Group (including Ferretti Yachts, Custom Line, CRN, Pershing, Riva, Mochi Craft, Apreamare and Bertram), the Company sells new and used recreational boats and related marine products and provides yacht brokerage services. The Company currently operates 71 retail locations in Alabama, Arizona, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Utah. MarineMax is a New York Stock Exchange-listed Company.
