View Of our Boating Market From SOUTH FLORIDA ~~    Some thoughts to ponder……first,  our boating population is aging.  The number of boaters in their 50s and 60s far  exceeds those in their 30s and younger.  The sailing niche has an even more pronounced  graying factor.  What’s more, boating’s core demographic, the formerly  dominant Caucasian, has become the fastest-shrinking  slice of the American pie. The fleet of boats is aging and the number of vessels in use is  declining, as reflected in boat registration lists. The  average age of a boat in use today is 21 years,  compared with 16 just 15 years ago. Another challenge:   The average price of a new boat in most  segments has doubled in the past 10 to 15 years.  19 percent of U.S. households own a boat but  10 percent of households have left boating in recent years.  In spite of this loss, boating participation has somehow  managed to grow in five of the past six years, reaching  35 percent of adult Americans (82 million), thus inching  close to the 36 percent participation levels of the 1990s.
