Glenn and Karrie Adams, owners of Orlando’s leading boat dealer, Box Max Worldwide.

Built on Passion, Driven by Trust

If you’re serious about boats — buying, selling, repowering, or just keeping one running smoothly — Glenn Adams and his team at Boat Max Worldwide in Orlando are the people to know.

With over 15 years in business and a lifetime of boating experience, Glenn has grown Boat Max from a humble consignment lot into one of Central Florida’s go-to full-service dealerships, featuring top-tier brands like Pioneer, NauticStar, Shearwater, Blackwood, and Sterling.

Boat Max’s Orlando location offers a large inventory of new and used boats, in addition to boating supplies, marine equipment and accessories, including electronics, safety equipment, trolling motors, fishing gear, and more!

“I Started as a Boat Detailer for $6.75 an Hour”

Glenn’s story isn’t your average business tale — it’s a classic Florida hustle. After leaving a high-paying job he didn’t love, he took a boat detailing position at Boat Tree, earning minimum wage just to be around boats. That gig launched a sales career that saw him rise to manage a $58 million operation before starting his own dealership.

“I was obsessed with boats before I even had a driver’s license,” Glenn said. “I used to read Keels and Wheels cover to cover like it was a comic book. When you love something like that, you find a way to turn it into your life.”

Full-Service. No Fluff.

Boat Max Worldwide is more than just a dealership — it’s a one-stop shop.

Boat Max Worldwide features a seasoned team of Yamaha Repower specialists with over 35 years of outboard installation expertise.

Brokerage with Integrity

What sets Boat Max apart from other dealerships is Glenn’s background as a licensed yacht and ship broker.

“Other dealers just flip boats. We’re bonded brokers, so we handle every sale through escrow. That protects the buyer and the seller — you don’t have to wonder if the title is clean or if the lien will be paid off.”

This attention to trust and transparency has earned Boat Max a loyal client base — including repeat buyers and high-profile clients who want things done right, without the nonsense.

“We Don’t Charge Dealer Fees. Period.”

Boat Max avoids the hidden costs that frustrate so many boat buyers.

“I’ve been at those dealerships where you get to the closing table and suddenly there’s a $999 fee. We don’t play those games. That’s just the cost of doing business — we absorb it.”

Because Boat Max owns their land and building, they’re not passing along bloated overhead costs to customers. That savings shows up in their prices and financing flexibility.

Financing That Makes Sense

With access to 18 different lenders, Boat Max offers tailored financing options — even for boats with existing liens. Their brokerage structure allows for better rates and longer terms, often beating car loan interest rates.

“People are financing trucks for $950/month. You can finance a $70,000 boat for under $600,” Glen said. “And it’s a lot more fun than a pickup.”

More Than Sales — It’s a Lifestyle

What truly fuels Boat Max is Glenn’s passion for the water — a passion he shares with every customer.

“When someone buys a boat, I take them out myself. I want them to feel confident and excited, not overwhelmed. We make boating accessible, and we stand behind our customers even after the sale.”

Boat Max also organizes cruise club trips — from scalloping to exploring the Keys — and invites customers to join in.

“These are real experiences with your family. It gets kids off their phones and creates memories that last forever. I’ll never forget the day we got caught in a waterspout down in the Keys — it’s one of my sister’s favorite stories.”

Giving Back to the Water

Boat Max is deeply tied to the local boating and fishing scene. They sponsor:

Central Florida Saltwater Anglers (CFSA)
UCF / CCA oyster restoration projects
East Orange Babe Ruth youth sports
Holiday bike giveaways for underserved kids

“If we can clean the canals and give families a better experience on the water, that’s a win for everyone.”
