International Marine Assists Boating Victims Impacted by Hurricane Irma

BOYNTON BEACH, Fla., Sept. 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As Florida battles one of the worst storms to hit the nation in centuries, the International Marine has announced a plan to assist boaters to bounce back to a sense of normalcy. Hurricane Irma, who made landfall as a Category 4 storm, is producing life-threatening flooding for both coastal and inland cities in Florida, which is now declared a federal state of disaster.

"This is a devastating storm, and our hearts go out to the millions affected, including the thousands of avid boaters in Florida along with their families," said Vice President Michael Reimer. "We strive to assist others in need and our team is unmatched at swiftly putting relief efforts in place to assist boaters to get back to normal. It is the least we can do for the boating community that has entrusted us working on their vessels for years."

The safety of all involved is the company's top priority. International Marine is located in Boynton Beach, Florida and is in the direct path of the storm. International Marine still remained open throughout Friday. The purpose for the extra hours and work effort was entirely for our customers who have entrusted the team with their prized possessions. The entire team has come together to ensure that every single customer had a safe place INSIDE one of our three hurricane-rated warehouses during the storm.  

Since 2012, International Marine has been making a positive change in the marine community. Customers turn to International Marine to help them with new installations of a total refit of their vessel. The company principally operates through its three product segments - Suzuki Repowers, Electronic and audio design and installation - and also provides customized products through its partner Coastal Customs.
