Atlanta-based OneWater Marine Holdings, LLC has acquired Captain's Choice Marine, Inc. on Lake Murray in Leesville, South Carolina. Alan and Melanie Giddens, former owners of Captain's Choice Marine will continue to operate Captain's Choice as a division of OneWater Marine Holdings.

"Captain's Choice is a perfect complement to our existing portfolio of dealerships and offers a natural geographic expansion for us into the South Carolina Midlands."

"We're thrilled to join an aggressive and growing organization like OneWater Marine," said Alan Giddens. "This opportunity allows us to leverage the foundation our family has spent the last 30 years building as a platform for some really exciting new opportunities for our loyal employees and amazing customers.
