Off the Hook Yachts is now your South FL Yellowfin Dealer!
The Acquisition
Off the Hook Yachts announced on November 1, 2022, the acquisition of The Boat Center of Miami, a dealership specializing in the sale of Yellowfin center consoles for Miami (Dade County) and the Florida Keys (down to Islamorada). The Boat Center of Miami will keep its name and brand to remain consistent with the community it has served for many years.
Off the Hook Yachts is proud and excited to offer Yellowfin as a primary boat line for South FL (Miami to Islamorada). Yellowfin is a premium center console brand, and arguably the most sought-after center console in its class. This location will serve as your Yellowfin warranty and service center, as well as a Mercury and Yamaha service and repower center. The parts department at Boat Center will be one of the largest in South Florida and will be operated by our partner Chris Burke from South Florida Boat Center.
South Florida Boat Center brings years of expertise in a “white-glove” service experience to Boat Center and Yellowfin customers. “We plan to go above and beyond to create the ultimate customer experience for our Yellowfin owners in the area,” says Corey Simon, our partner in the acquisition. Corey has over 10 years of experience working for Yellowfin and has been a top producer for YF over the last several years. Corey is passionate about the brand and has focused his entire career on getting people out on the water on Yellowfins. Corey personally owns a 24 YF and a 39 YF and spends his free time fishing throughout the Bahamas and the FL Keys.
