MarineMax announces vice president

Ryan West has been promoted to the role of vice president at MarineMax and will continue to lead the company’s Fort Myers operations. 

West (pictured below) joined MarineMax in 2004 and has over 20 years of retail experience, including leading MarineMax locations throughout West Florida and Texas.

In April 2022, MarineMax announced record results for its second quarter, increasing its revenue by 17 per cent. The record growth was aided by both boating demand and the company’s recent acquisitions, including the purchase of Intrepid Boats.

Kyle Langbehn, MarineMax president of retail operations says: “During Ryan’s 18 successful years at MarineMax he has positively impacted the lives of countless customers and team members. This promotion recognises Ryan’s impact and importance to our company, our team, the boating industry, and most importantly our customers. The industry-leading Fort Myers waterfront location consistently delivers excellence in marine services, including sales, service, finance and insurance, marina and storage, and events and trips. Ryan and his team will continue to build upon the great success of our Fort Myers location providing exceptional customer experiences.”

West says: “I am extremely proud of the Fort Myers team and our many accomplishments. This promotion to vice president is a clear result of the dedication and commitment of the entire team to delivering the best pleasure boating experience for our clients every day. Our partnerships, forged along the way, are stronger than ever and we remain committed to giving back to the community we serve. I take pride in the facility and operations we have built that provide the best boating lifestyle our area has to offer.”
