According to the settlement agreement, the deal covers all United States residents who received a notice letter from MarineMax or subsidiary Newcoast as a result of the data breach.
Eligible class members must submit a valid claim form online or by mail by June 13, 2025 to receive MarineMax class action settlement benefits.

As part of the $1,018,825.50 settlement, class members can file a claim to receive up to $5,000 per person in reimbursement for identity theft losses supported by documentation and that are “reasonably traceable” to the incident, the MarineMax settlement website says.

Per the site, consumers may also submit a claim for up to $2,000 per person for documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred as a result of the data breach. The website explains that qualifying expenses may include fees for attorneys, accountants or credit repair services; costs stemming from freezing or unfreezing credit; credit monitoring expenses incurred between July 16, 2024 and June 13, 2025; notary, postage, mileage or phone charges; and other miscellaneous costs.
In addition, the deal will provide up to three years of one-bureau credit monitoring to class members who did not accept MarineMax’s previous offer of two-year monitoring services presented in the data breach notice letter, the site shares. Consumers who elected to receive MarineMax’s previous offer are only eligible for an additional 12 months of credit monitoring as part of the settlement, the website states.
Moreover, class members can file a claim to receive a share of what remains of the settlement fund after the payment of the aforementioned benefits, the site relays. MarineMax settlement payouts are subject to adjustment on a pro rata basis and capped at $500 per person, the website adds.
It is now up to the court to decide whether to grant final approval to the settlement. A final approval hearing is set for June 17, 2025.
Settlement payments will be issued to eligible class members only if the deal receives ultimate approval, and after any appeals are resolved, the site says.
