Boating industry growth makes waves

by

The boating industry is seeing more growth nationally than at any time since 2007, causing the demand for marina real estate to take off. As a result, marina owners are finding they need to upgrade their properties to accommodate growing demand and larger boats, which in turn makes marinas more marketable.

Marker 1 Marina in Dunedin, for example, added 220 inside racks and a 44,000-pound forklift for boats up to 45 feet. The owner replaced a smaller 1960s-built barn and outdated outside racks.

This renovation trend shows no signs of letting up as boats keep getting bigger.
