Video Blog
MarineMax won the 2020 National Boating Industry Safety Awards in the Large Marine Retailer Category. Given that the presentation of the award was done virtually at the MRAA’s Dealers Week, we decided to sit down to talk with Abbey Heimensen to find out a little more about their award-winning entry and plans for 2021.
MarineMax has developed a number of boating safety programs to help get the entire family involved in boating. Their “Women on Water” class is solely for ladies to be able to take the helm to learn and build confidence on the water. And, the “Intro to Boating” classes are great for new boaters including children, but there are also advanced boating education classes focused on charting, plotting, technology and other topics that boaters want to know.
