National expansion continues: totaling 10 water sports rental properties and continued growth in the hospitality sector
Since its inception in 2002, Young Harris has been dedicated to delivering the highest quality in water sports equipment, coupled with exceptional customer service. Beyond offering premium boat and jet ski rentals, Young Harris is also Georgia’s premier source for parts and service, new and used boat sales and wake shop supplies. The organization will continue to operate under the leadership of its current president, Lance Markham.
“We are excited to extend a warm welcome to Young Harris as the newest addition to the Hoffmann Family of Companies,” stated Mark Bahr, president of Marco Island & Naples Beach Water Sports. “Lance will not only lead the day-to-day operations of the organization but will also play a pivotal role in shaping our future growth in the region.”
Young Harris is also the exclusive water sports recreation provider to The Ritz-Carlton Reynolds at Lake Oconee, symbolizing the highest level of service excellence and experiences in the industry. In addition to its Lake Oconee location, Young Harris also runs a rental center at Lake Chatuge. Furthermore, for customers interested in purchasing, Young Harris owns two RV dealerships, ensuring that buyers receive the same exceptional level of service and quality for parts, services and sales as provided to its rental customers.
“This acquisition provides our company with expanded access to resources, enhances our operational capabilities and grants us the financial means to upgrade equipment or venture into new rental opportunities,” said Lance Markham, president of Young Harris Water Sports & RV. “We view this as a mutually beneficial development for our dedicated employees, valued customers and esteemed investors.”
Guests can find exceptional holiday season savings on closeout models of boats and RVs when they visit one of Young Harris’ two dealership locations. Alternatively, they can guarantee their current equipment is well-prepared for the 2024 season by scheduling an appointment with Young Harris’ expert service center.
