Others

• Boatsetter: Peer-to-peer boat rental platform operating across the U.S. including Florida. Adjacent comparator reflecting the broader on-water experience market that overlaps with the subject's affiliated boat rental and tour operations.
• GetMyBoat: Global marketplace for boat rentals, charters, and on-water experiences. Adjacent comparator given the subject's affiliation with Boathouse Riverfront boat rentals and scenic cruises, though not a direct slip rental competitor.

Direct peers

• Safe Harbor Marinas: Largest marina operator in the United States with an extensive Florida portfolio. Directly comparable as a wet slip rental operator at scale, competing for the same transient and seasonal boating customers in Florida.
• Suntex Marina Holdings: One of the largest U.S. owners and operators of marina properties, including multiple Florida locations. Directly comparable as a multi-location wet slip rental operator serving recreational boaters on inland and coastal waterways.
• Loggerhead Marinas: Florida-focused marina operator with multiple locations along the state's east and west coasts. Closely comparable business model of family-friendly wet slip rentals with amenities targeting transient and seasonal boaters.
• IGY Marinas: Operator of premium marinas across the U.S., Caribbean, and Latin America, including several Florida sites. Comparable as a competitor for transient and seasonal slip rentals targeting recreational boaters in coastal and waterfront markets.

Broad incumbents

• Hinckley Yacht Services: Premium yacht builder and full-service yachting company operating marinas and service yards in New England and the Southeast. Comparable as a higher-end waterfront services operator with overlapping transient and seasonal boating clientele.
• MarineMax: Public recreational boat retailer (NYSE: HZO) with marina-adjacent businesses including yacht brokerage and storage. Comparable as a broader boating services incumbent that competes for the same recreational customer wallet, though not a slip rental specialist.

Emerging players

• Dockwa: Digital marina reservation platform connecting transient boaters to slip inventory across the U.S., including Florida. Comparable as an emerging channel through which Boathouse Marina's competitors capture pre-booked transient demand that the subject company cannot access.
• Snag-A-Slip: Peer-to-peer and aggregator platform for booking transient boat slips at marinas and private docks. Comparable as an emerging digital competitor that abstracts and commoditizes the slip rental experience Boathouse Marina currently delivers offline.
