» Malibu Marine: About Us

Malibu Marine LLC in New Orleans was founded in 1997 by Bob and Debbie Hogan. The Hogan family is a wacky group with an interesting cast of characters. Dad is a gynecologist and mom's duties stretch from office manager to realestate entreprenur. They have four children, whose interests also vary from an attorney, two doctors in training, to one daughter who has her masters in audiology. They all work hard and share one common thread.... They enjoy their time together and play hard on the water. In 1996 the family decided to purchase their first inboard boat and went about shopping for their dream toy on the water.

Everyone had become avid water skiiers and we needed the best of the best. So, with that said, after shopping the competition the conclusion was that hands down Malibu Boats had the best product on the market and the Hogan clan had to travel two states over to buy one. The group was so happy with their purchase that a simple inquiry as to "Why don't you have a dealer in New Orleans?" to the plant in California, led to a phone call from the area rep who replied "How would you like to show your boat around and possibly sell a few Malibu's?" We took him up on it and that was 10 years ago.

Our philosopy at Malibu Marine LLC is simple. Selling a fine, quality, product like a Malibu Boat is fun. Let's face it selling FUN IS FUN. Our goal is to spend as much time as it takes with our customers to get them into their "Dream Machine". Once they purchase their boat we want to provide them with a support system that keeps them happy with their Malibu for years to come. We have sold many Malibu Boats to other wacky people and families and have enjoyed sharing the fun with our new friends.
