Have you checked out our 2021 Boat Show? It is ALL online and you can browse the boats, accessories, services can learn more about the whole boating experience from our 2021 Virtual Boat Show.
Last year, the year of COVID, was a big year for doing things that were close to home, physically distanced from other people, and got you outside and boating was high on that list. There is a report from the National Marine Manufacturers Association, the sale of boats and boat-related accessories was up 9% to $47B in 2020, a 13 year high. Without all the fancy facts…most of that was from people giving this whirl and were first-time buyers.
The timing of the pandemic helped as well, as we moved into pandemic life the weather was getting nicer and nice weather is boating weather. Maybe you thought about it last year but…gees…you were not sure…but you are still interested…make this your year. The 2021 Virtual Boat Show is the perfect way to get your feet wet and find out more about the types of boats, the different area dealers, and all things boating.
