Total new boat sales – from personal watercraft to yachts – in May were the highest in a decade, and June was strong as well, reports the National Marine Manufacturers Association,based on the latest sales figures available.
He says the firm has been selling about 11 boats a month, up from the usual two or three, since the pandemic took hold. The number of used boats is so limited that some are being bought sight unseen, he said. "I always wanted a boat," he explained."I put it on a pedestal. It's a COVID-safe, outdoor activity."
