$OTH News: Off The Hook Yachts Boosts Inventory Financing Floorplan to $60 Million to Drive Unprecedented Growth in 2026
Floorplan more than doubles from $25 million pre-IPO; Increased inventory to support robust year-over-year growth with expected 2026 revenues of $140 to $145 million
Wilmington, NC, Jan. 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Off The Hook YS Inc. (NYSE American: OTH) (“Off the Hook Yachts” or “Off the Hook” or “the Company”), America's largest buyer and seller of pre-owned boats, today announced it has expanded its inventory financing capacity to $60 million, more than doubling its floorplan financing from $25 million prior to its IPO. The expanded facility strengthens Off the Hook’s ability to acquire and carry more high-quality used boat inventory to meet accelerating customer demand and support the Company’s growth strategy in 2026.
“Becoming a publicly traded company was a strategic step toward building a stronger balance sheet and expanding our access to capital,” said Brian John, CEO of Off the Hook. “A larger floorplan gives us more than double the buying power we had prior to the IPO, so we can acquire more of the right used boats, faster while maintaining the flexibility to scale inventory and drive growth as we move into 2026.”
With greater floorplan capacity, Off the Hook expects to carry a broader selection across key geographies and boat categories, increasing the likelihood that customers find the right boat at the right price, sooner. More inventory also supports higher conversion rates, faster turn times, and improved sales velocity. That momentum is amplified by Off the Hook’s AI-driven sales platform, which helps seamlessly match buyers and sellers and accelerate decision-making across the transaction lifecycle. In addition, Off the Hook’s vertically integrated model enables multiple value-added upsells on each sale, including customer financing, insurance, warranties, and other services designed to improve the customer experience while expanding margin opportunity.
Floorplan financing is a form of inventory-backed credit that enables dealers to purchase boats and hold them for sale without paying the full cost upfront. In marine retail, the boat itself typically serves as collateral; the dealer pays interest while the boat is in inventory and repays the principal when the boat is sold.
