The Current Boating Market

In past years, the yacht and boating market was quite limited, prompting many to secure inventory whenever possible due to the risk of shortages. Now, there is an abundance of boats and yachts available, offering a wide variety to choose from. As a result, some dealers have more stock than they've had in the last five years catering to many budgets, styles and preferences.

Social Opportunities

Yachting is inherently social. Owning a yacht opens the door to exclusive gatherings, events, and a community of like-minded individuals.

Yacht & Boat prices are on a steady incline, with a 29% average increase in the U.S. from 2019 to 2022. Even after the current surplus of inventory is depleted, don't expect yacht to become more affordable. History suggests that prices could rise another 5 to 10% as the market finds its balance, driven by factors such as raw materials, labor costs, and economic conditions.
