MarineSource Joins Forces with Informa for the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show

A New Era for Boat Buying

MarineSource.com, a new online marketplace designed for the marine industry, made waves at the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show with the announcement of its exclusive partnership with Informa Markets’ U.S. Boat Shows division.

Through this collaboration, MarineSource becomes the exclusive online marketplace partner for Informa’s U.S. Boat Shows, providing a powerful new MLS-style platform for exhibitors and buyers alike. The integration allows shoppers to view live boat inventories before, during, and after each event—bridging the gap between physical boat shows and the digital marketplace.

“Launching our company by announcing an exclusive partnership at FLIBS with U.S. Boat Shows is the biggest way to show the industry we are here to do something different,” said Chris Kanaley, CEO and co-founder of MarineSource. Informa’s U.S. Boat Shows President Andrew Doole added, “Their platform is specifically designed to reduce costs across the industry while significantly expanding audience reach and access for boat buyers.”

The partnership signals a new era for the industry, giving dealers, brokers, and manufacturers enhanced visibility and new digital tools to connect with customers year-round.
