Why Statement

At the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas, we believe that the success of the marine industry begins and ends with the success of our dealers – the retail organizations that deliver sales and ownership experiences to today’s boaters. These organizations and the individuals they employ must deliver on the promise of the boating lifestyle every single day with every single interaction. Their success drives the success of our entire industry.

As the leading training and education organization for the marine dealer body, MRAA fuels the success of the boating industry by delivering dealerships the tools, resources and educational programs they can use to strengthen their organizations and find the success they desire. Stronger dealers lead to stronger manufacturers and suppliers, which lead to a stronger industry. And in the midst of it all, MRAA promotes and protects that success by serving as the voice of those dealers, continuously working to ensure a business environment that is conducive to boat sales and retail operations.
