What is a MarineMax Certified Pre-Owned boat?
A MarineMax Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) boat is a pre-owned vessel that has been thoroughly inspected, reconditioned, and certified by MarineMax Trained Technicians to meet our highest standards for quality and performance. To qualify, boats must be five years old or newer and from a brand we carry new, so you can trust that every CPO boat represents the best of what the pre-owned market has to offer.
How is a MarineMax Certified Pre-Owned boat different from a used boat?
Not all pre-owned boats are created equal. MarineMax Certified Pre-Owned boats go through a rigorous multi-point inspection and reconditioning process performed by our MarineMax Trained Technicians, something you simply won't find at most dealerships.
With a MarineMax Certified Pre-Owned boat, you get:
- Strict eligibility criteria (5 years old or newer, MarineMax-carried brands only)
- A comprehensive multi-point inspection and reconditioning
- 12-month Limited Warranty
- The full backing of the nation's largest boat retailer

Any necessary service or reconditioning is completed before the boat earns its CPO designation, so it's ready for the water from day one.
