As results from the 2023 boat show season begin to pour in, it’s worth asking: Are we seeing a repeat of the late-twenty-teens marketplace?

Inflation, supply-chain kinks and the continuing war in Ukraine continue to be serious concerns, but numerous companies with a global presence for exports are reporting optimism at the start of 2023.

The Discover Boating team, powered by the Marine Retailers Association of the Americas and the National Marine Manufacturers Association, is looking ahead to continued industry momentum this year.

Last year’s Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show set records for attendance, sales and economic impact.

This month, we’re looking at mergers and acquisitions with a focus on multigenerational, family-owned businesses.

The return of in-person boat shows is a comeback story that our industry needs.

The NMMA show runs through Sunday at Norwalk Cove Marina in Norwalk, Conn.
The NMMA said it is closing the Greater Philadelphia Outdoor Sportshow.

Organizers of the April 7-9 Lake Havasu Boat Show said attendance was up more than 25 percent this year.

Organizers said attendance was 14,318 and exhibitors reported positive sales as spring nears.
