EXPLANATORY NOTE

On March 20, 2015, following approval by the requisite vote of stockholders at the company’s 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, MarineMax, Inc. changed its state of incorporation from Delaware to Florida. This reincorporation was effectuated on March 20, 2015 by merging MarineMax, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“MarineMax Delaware”) with and into MarineMax Reincorporation, Inc., a Florida corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of MarineMax Delaware (“MarineMax Florida,” the “Company” or the “Registrant”), established for such purpose, with the Company as the surviving entity under the name “MarineMax, Inc.” The Company is deemed to be the successor issuer of MarineMax Delaware under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

In connection with the reincorporation, each outstanding share of common stock of MarineMax Delaware was automatically converted into one share of common stock of the Registrant.

The Company as the successor issuer of MarineMax Delaware is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to registration statements on Form S-8, File Nos. 333-63307, 333-83332, 333-141657, 333-156358 and 333-177019

---

(the “Registration Statements”), pursuant to Rule 414 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), solely to update the Registration Statements as a result of the Registrant’s reincorporation in the State of Florida from the State of Delaware (the “Reincorporation”).

In connection with the Reincorporation, the Company assumed the 1998 Incentive Stock Plan, the Director Fee Share Purchase Program, the 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan, the MarineMax 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the 2011 Stock-Based Compensation Plan (collectively, the “Plans”) and all of the outstanding options and equity awards under the Plans. At the effective time of the Reincorporation, each outstanding option to purchase shares of MarineMax Delaware common stock was converted into an option to purchase the same number of shares of the Registrant’s common stock, with no changes in the option exercise price or other terms and conditions of such options.

In accordance with Rule 414 of the Securities Act, except as modified by this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, the Company, as successor issuer to MarineMax Delaware, expressly adopts the Registration Statements as its own registration statements for all purposes of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, as updated by subsequent filings under the Exchange Act. The applicable registration fees were paid at the time of the original filings of the Registration Statements.

In addition, all documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such documents. Any statement contained herein or in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated herein by reference shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act which also is incorporated or is deemed to be incorporated herein by reference modifies or supersedes such prior statement.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

The Registrant is a Florida corporation. The Florida Business Corporation Act, as amended (the “FBCA”), provides that, in general, a business corporation may indemnify any person who is or was a party to any proceeding (other than an action by, or in the right of, the corporation) by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation, against liability incurred in connection with such proceeding, including any appeal thereof, provided certain standards are met, including that such officer or director acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, the officer or director had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In the case of proceedings by or in the right of the corporation, the FBCA provides that, in general, a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party to any such proceeding by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director or officer of the corporation against expenses and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such proceedings, including any appeal thereof, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim as to which such person is adjudged liable unless a court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity. To the extent that any officers or directors are successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of any of the proceedings described above, the FBCA provides that the corporation is required to indemnify such officers or directors against expenses actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith. However, the FBCA further provides that, in general, indemnification or advancement of expenses shall not be made to or on behalf of any officer or director if a judgment or other final adjudication establishes that his or her actions, or omissions to act, were material to the cause of the action so adjudicated and constitute: (i) a violation of the criminal law, unless the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was lawful or had no reasonable cause to believe it was unlawful; (ii) a transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit; (iii) in the case of a director, a circumstance under which the director has voted for or assented to a distribution made in violation of the FBCA or the corporation’s articles of incorporation; or (iv) willful misconduct or a conscious disregard for the best interests of the corporation in a proceeding by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor or in a proceeding by or in the right of a shareholder.

Article VII of our bylaws provides that we shall indemnify and hold harmless any director, officer, employee or agent or any former director, officer, employee or agent to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law, and advance his or her expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition to the fullest extent permitted by Florida law. The Registrant has purchased insurance with respect to, among other things, any liabilities that may arise under the statutory provisions referred to above.

We have entered into separate employment agreements with certain of our officers. These agreements require us to, among other things, indemnify such officers against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as officers.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of the securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in the periodic reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to

---

Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
