MarineMax

In honor of Women’s History Month, we are spotlighting today Kate Hogan, our Regional Marketing Coordinator in the Northeast. What first drew you to the marine industry? Growing up on Long Island, New York, I spent my summers immersed in life on and by the water. When I had the chance to build a career in an industry that would allow me to share that passion for water with others, I knew it was going to be a perfect fit. What is your favorite part of working in the marine industry? My favorite part of working in the marine industry is seeing the joy that boat ownership brings to our customers. Every smile – whether it's from a family leaving the marina on their new boat or someone joining us at our events, reminds me why I love what I do. How do you hope to inspire other women in the marine industry? I hope to inspire other women in the industry by demonstrating the power of a positive outlook and attitude. This industry is filled with incredible opportunities, but the key to truly enjoying it is embracing each day with enthusiasm. Challenges will come, but by focusing on the excitement, adventure, and connections we make along the way, every day can be the best day ever. I want to encourage other women to bring their passion, confidence, and joy to their work.

Happy International Women's Day! Join us in celebrating all the incredible women around the world who are making waves and charting their own courses. Here's to the strength, resilience, and accomplishments of women everywhere! Throughout March, in honor of Women's History Month, we'll spotlight some remarkable women within our company. Stay tuned as we share the stories about these trailblazers who continue to pave the way and impact our industry daily.
