File No. 001-14173

 Dear Mr. Thompson:

On behalf of MarineMax, Inc. (“MarineMax”), I am writing in response to the comments set forth in your letter dated February 20, 2014 (the
“Comment Letter”). For the convenience of the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Staff’s comment is repeated below, along with
MarineMax’s response to the comment set forth immediately following the comment.

 You state in your response to comment 2 in our letter dated January 24, 2014 that revenues associated with services is less than 10% of total
revenues. However, we note your disclosure on page 11, which indicates that the aggregate percentage of revenues from maintenance, repair and storage services, F&I products, and brokerage and charter services exceeded 10% of total revenues in
2013. It also appears that aggregate revenues from such services exceeded 10% of total revenues in 2012 and 2011. Please explain to us what revenue streams you include in revenues from services and why any of the

revenue streams above are properly included in sales of tangible products. In any event, it appears that you should separately disclose net sales from tangible products and revenues from services
and the amounts of cost of tangible products sold and cost of services in accordance with Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X. Please advise.

Response to Comment #1

 We have considered
the presentation requirements under Rules 5-03 (b)(1) and (2) of Regulation S-X, which require that the statement of income present sales by tangible products, operating revenues of public utilities or others, income from rentals, revenues from
services, and other revenues if income derived from more than one of the categories is greater than 10% of total revenue. Under Rule 5-03 of Regulation S-X, “each class which is not more than 10 percent of the sum of the items may be combined
with another class.”

 Our revenue from services as disclosed in our Form 10-K, pages 9-14 under “Products and Services,” include the
following revenue streams: (a) maintenance, repair, and storage services; (b) F&I products; and (c) yacht charter. As referenced in the disclosure on page 12, approximately 7.6% of our revenue, or $44.7 million, is from
maintenance, repair, and storage services. This amount includes, however, revenue from shop and sublet parts used in the maintenance work ($6.4 million or 1.1% of total revenue), which are sales of tangible products, and revenue from the rental of
slip and storage spaces, which are income from rentals ($7.8 million or 1.3% of total revenue). As referenced in the disclosure on page 14, approximately 0.4% of our revenue, or $2.2 million, is from yacht charter services. This amount includes,
however, revenue from the rental of power and sailing yachts ($1.8 million or 0.3% of total revenue), which are income from rentals. Brokerage services is the sale of brokerage boats, a tangible product, and reflects $13.8 million or 2.4% of total
revenue.

 Revenue from services, which includes income from (a) maintenance, repair, and storage services; (b) F&I products; and
(c) yacht charter represents 8.1% of total revenue or $47.7 million. Because revenue associated with services provided is less than 10% of total revenues, we have combined this revenue with revenue associated with income from rentals and
tangible products; gross sales less discounts, returns and allowances. We will continue to monitor our percentage of revenue associated with services and modify our disclosures as appropriate should we exceed the 10% threshold.

We note your response to comment 7 in our letter dated January 24, 2014. In future filings, please revise your disclosure to discuss how difficult it will be for the executive or how likely it will be for the
registrant to achieve the target levels or other factors. Please also discuss in your disclosure any discretion that may be exercised in granting such awards absent attainment of the stated performance goal. Please see Instruction 4 to
Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K.
