Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission. You’re not gonna need a bigger boat. There’s a new, lavish yacht set to cruise the ocean equipped with more bells and whistles than most would know what to do with — including access to a seaside driving range. It can be yours for a modest starting price of $5.12 million. ![]() The Austrian-made Ladenstein 88 yacht is an enormous and elegant craft measuring nearly 100 feet in “innovative” length. The sleek, silver wave surfer comes with ample space for those onboard to enjoy superior amenities like its own jacuzzi and hibachi-like Teppanyaki bar for cooking. ![]() No need to fear too many cooks in the kitchen as there’s plenty of dining space, plus comfortable seating on its multiple decks. That includes a stern side “sea-level beach club” area, a spacious rain shower and an abundance of sleek furniture. Other configurations can turn its lower deck into a garage room for Jet Skis and other crafts or “space for an optional sauna, gym equipment or water sports toys.” However, the company boasts that the real fun is in several James Bond-esque features. A touch of a magic button will transform the yacht’s upper bow side lounge — there are four separate outdoor areas totaling about 700 square feet — into a “sports area” where a driving range can be situated. ![]() It appears you would be swinging out into the water from the 21-square-foot elevated area. That area also has an “integrated” treadmill ready for use and another exterior that can be a “versatile space for yoga.” Other button presses reveal a well-stocked, hidden bar and rotating television on the inside, according to Robb Report . ![]() The three to five interior staterooms are a dealer’s choice situation as far as design goes. Still, Ladenstein suggests a few chic looks with themes like a posh Italian format, a Gotham-enthused New York look and even a “Godfather” noir get-up, among others. “Every Ladenstein 88 will become a unique piece that reflects the owner’s lifestyle and values,” said CEO Markus Ladenstein. ![]() Advertisement ![]() We have received your message and will get back to you shortly.![]() We will call you back.Consultation, answering your questions.

10 Fascinating Facts About ‘Loon,’ the 221-Foot Superyacht That Gets the Coolest Toys FirstThe 221-footer has hundreds of thousands of social-media followers, accepts bitcoin for charter, and an entire crew who can sing and dance. oh, and it's rescued two other boats this year., gemma harris, gemma harris's most recent stories.
![]() With the ever-expanding portfolio of charter yachts vying for attention, the 221-foot Loon took to social media to showcase its offerings. Not just with a Facebook page of pretty destinations, but with an Instagram account that now has 140,000 followers and a YouTube channel with 122,000 folks who watch its journeys. The yacht, previously christened Icon, splashed in 2010 when it left the Dutch shipyard Icon Yachts. Purchased in 2023 by owners who named the yacht after their lakehouse residents, the loon bird, it is now widely recognized on the charter scene, thanks partly to its social-media presence but mostly because of its eclectic crew. Captain Paul Clarke, who has been with the owner since 2017 and created the social-media frenzy, made his way from the vessel’s smaller siblings to helm this third generation of yachts named Loon. An overflowing toy box and tenders that include a wake-surfing boat, as well as an inventory of all the top brands, have made this an exceptional charter vessel, with IYC being the primary brokers. The yacht’s timeless lines and contemporary features are a testament to RWD Design’s forward-thinking philosophy. “ Loon has many features which are only now being incorporated into today’s yachts,” Clarke told Robb Report. Here are 10 cool facts about this social superyacht. ![]() An impressive catalog of toys is a given on any reputable charter yacht, but Loon ‘s toy trove is a cut above the rest. “Those who have the most toys win—this has always been our mantra,” says Capt. Paul Clarke. “For instance, most yachts have two Jet Skis, we have four. We apply that philosophy across the toy spectrum.” It is a thrill-a-minute onboard with Seabobs, wakeboards, scuba equipment, foils, and more towables and inflatables than one can get on in a week. Loon is regularly asked to test toys before they hit the market. “We always get pre-release toys to demo. We were also the first superyacht to carry Lift foils,” adds Clarke. A Singing, Dancing Crew![]() The linchpin holding a great charter together is the crew. But Loon raises the bar with its onboard team, who are born entertainers. Besides their regular duties, crewmembers double as a scuba instructor, a masseuse, a pro kitesurfer, a personal trainer, a yoga instructor, and even a DJ. The chief engineer provides an added layer of charm with his guitar skills for evening soirees. “I always hire crew who have secondary skills,” says Clarke. The Influencer![]() If it isn’t on social media, did it even happen? Clarke started Loon ‘s social accounts back in the day to share the wealth of content he gathered from shooting videos of guests. Today, Loon has a crew member whose sole job is to create content with “equipment in hand 24/7.” This person, using drones and an occasional helicopter, creates charter memories with videography, photography, and other content-creation skills. Clarke says Loon is the only superyacht to have this dedicated position. The strategy has paid off. The vessel has 143,000 Instagram followers and 121,000 YouTube subscribers tuning in to watch its every move. Loon-Inspired Inflatables![]() Aside from the yacht’s signature beach club, Loon literally expands for on-the-water playtime. In fact, the yacht is more than a consumer of water toys. It’s an influencer. Inflatable manufacturer FunAir developed its Beach Club Sea Pool, the first-of-its-kind inflatable Yacht Slide (with a stylish carbon-fiber finish) specifically for this yacht. This section serves as a bumper point for toys and launchpad for Jet Skis. The netted surroundings also protect swimmers from currents and jellyfish. Looney Activities![]() Loon’ s activities regularly catch the eyes of onlookers. The vessel’s G23 Nautique is ideal for wake surfing. However, when chartering, the professional poker player and influencer Dan Bilzerian decided to take water stunts up a notch or two and wake-surf behind the yacht itself. While Loon regularly has “tons of A-listers” on board doing epic things, stunts are also for the crew. For its Instagram feed, the crew have leaped over the bow dressed as Thanksgiving turkeys and pulled off impressive kitesurfing jumps. The next booked charter will include magicians, helicopters, fire breathers, and a renowned DJ. “We try to make it extraordinary no matter who the guest is,” says Clarke. The Honey Bees![]() Teaming up with the biodynamic honey producers at Hikian in southern Finland, Loon has adopted its own beehive and features the honey in its cuisine. The buzz around this premium honey is that the bees thrive in the unspoiled air of the Finnish forest. As well as the flavor, the honey also accompanies the chef’s creations. Crypto Charters![]() Two years ago, the former Loon was the first superyacht to accept charter fees in cryptocurrency. Fast forward to now, the current Loon continues to accept Bitcoin for bookings. Embracing crypto transactions is not just another form of payment but also a nod to a younger yachting clientele. Involved in Rescue Missions![]() This Caribbean charter season has already seen Loon involved in two successful search-and-rescue missions. The first was retrieving an overturned fishing boat at the request of the U.S. Coast Guard. Just before Christmas, Loon also responded to another search and rescue that came from a couple scuba diving in the Dog Islands. Clarke sent the tender ahead to locate the missing woman who had been swept out. “It could have ended much worse if the rescue hadn’t come together so quickly,” he says. The Main Suite Built Around the Bathtub![]() The interior styling by Studio Linse is inviting across all seven cabins, but the one that really catches the eye is the full-beam primary suite. With neutral and contemporary aesthetics, it is located on the main deck, where large windows flood the space with natural light. But the spotlight really shines on the impressive three-ton stone bathtub in the ensuite. It had to be installed before the deck was put on—a true commitment to a relaxing soak. Well Connected![]() Loon keeps everyone connected wherever it is anchored by remaining fully hooked up to the onboard Starlink system. Besides fast Wi-Fi for work or socializing, entertainment demands are also met, thanks to the fully integrated Apple TV system, delivering every kind of movie on the yacht’s big screens. The electronic bells and whistles continue in the bridge, which recently saw upgrades to the 26-inch touchscreen panels that control all elements of the yacht. Read More On:

Below Deck Sailing Yacht has been one of the most highly anticipated returning shows on Bravo, but I don’t think the series is coming back - at least not anytime too soon . After Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 served some incredible drama, viewers have been impatiently waiting for the series to return. Throughout the Below Deck franchise, spin-offs can be hit or miss, so when Below Deck Sailing Yacht did well, many were excited to see more from the well-established crew. During the most recent season of the series, the yacht crew faced some intense issues both personally and professionally. While Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 featured an interesting iteration of Parsifal III’s crew, the season also faced some of the most intense drama the show has ever seen. Between the love triangle between Daisy Kelliher, Colin MacRae, and Gary King , which pushed a longtime friendship to the brink of destruction, and the drama between Gary and the rest of the women aboard the sailing yacht, there was very little room for the usual fun Below Deck antics between the crew. I’m convinced that the drama that occurred after the season has shelved Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now. The Gary King Scandal Pushed The Show BackAfter Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 finished airing, there was a reunion for the crew and many of the yachties were set to return to work aboard Parsifal III shortly thereafter. There were reports that Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 had begun to film, and both Gary and Daisy were spotted on Parsifal III with Below Deck production on site. Many were ready to hear more about the season, but it has been quiet ever since the end of last season, likely due to some drama regarding First Officer Gary . After Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 4 ended, viewers were concerned with the way Gary had behaved toward the women aboard Parsifal III. While Gary is always flirty with Daisy, he’d been somewhat inappropriate sexually with Mads Herrera, and though he apologized during the reunion, it left a bad taste in some viewers’ mouths. While some were concerned for the safety of the women aboard the sailing yacht, it was uncovered that there had been allegations of sexual misconduct lodged against Gary by a Below Deck Sailing Yacht makeup artist , as well. The makeup artist recounted her traumatic time with Gary, sharing that she’d been struggling with the decision to come forward, but ultimately wanted to ensure that something was done about the behavior. While Bravo didn’t take Gary’s alleged misbehavior lightly , they didn’t directly comment on it, either. Instead, they removed him from the lineup at BravoCon 2023, and did their best to move forward with the Below Deck franchise amidst the turmoil. Below Deck Sailing Yacht May Have Already Filmed With GaryWhile Gary was dealing with some extreme issues behind the scenes, he was allegedly already filming Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 . Photos revealed locations of the spots that the sailing yacht would be filming in, and Gary was part of the crew who were aboard Parsifal III. As the show may have already filmed and includes Gary, I believe one of the issues that’s causing it to be delayed or deterred is that Gary’s a part of the stor y. After the allegations against him, it’s possible Bravo may want to move forward without Gary as part of the show. Below Deck Sailing Yacht Might Need A New BosunAside from the allegations against Gary, t here were some other issues with the Parsifal III crew that needed to be addressed before Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. After his relationship with Daisy didn’t work out, Chief Engineer Colin shared that he wouldn’t be returning to the Bravo series for another charter season. Hurt by the way his relationship with his longtime friend Daisy had worked out, Colin decided to move on. With Colin missing from the Parsifal III crew , Below Deck Sailing Yacht likely needed to hire another Bosun before they could move forward with the charter season successfully. Will Bravo Reshoot Below Deck Sailing Yacht Season 5 Because Of Gary?Though Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 was already filmed, it’s possible that the show will never air in its current iteration because of the issues that were discovered with Gary while the charter season was happening. Though I believe that the show should likely go on as planned with some sort of disclaimer from Bravo about Gary’s behavior , it’s possible that the entire thing could be reshot to remove Gary from the crew. With Bravo viewers looking out for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, it may be the best thing for the network to reshoot and move forward. Source: Gary King /Instagram Below Deck Sailing YachtNot available Below Deck Sailing Yacht is a spin-off of the Below Deck reality television series. Premiering on Bravo, the show follows the life of a Yacht crew as they attempt to navigate a busy Charter season in which many customers make use of a 177-foot sailing yacht. Over the first three seasons, the yacht has been to Greece, Croatia, and Spain. ![]() Is The Boat Market Crash Here? 2024 Outlook Unveils Key InsightsThe boat market has been experiencing a rollercoaster ride over the past few years. COVID-19 and other factors have caused fluctuations in sales, demand, and pricing. As we sail into 2024, many are wondering whether a boat market crash is imminent, or if the industry will continue to find stable waters. ![]() Analyzing the current state of the market and its many implications is vital for both potential boat buyers and industry insiders looking to navigate the uncertain waters ahead. Various factors come into play when considering if the boat market will crash or remain steady in 2024. As the world grapples with pandemic aftermath and economic recovery, boat pricing dynamics, industry supply chains, and boater behavior/preferences become critical in predicting the market's trajectory. Furthermore, regional market considerations, financing and ownership costs, and even boat shows and industry events play crucial roles in shaping the boating industry's outlook. ![]() Key Takeaways
State of the Boat Market in 2024Current Demand and Sales TrendsIn 2024, the boat market is experiencing some significant shifts in demand and sales. The bigger boat market remains strong, while the small boat market is seeing a slowdown in interest. As mentioned on boatblurb.com , vessels under 30 feet are less popular, experiencing a cold market. The slower sales in this segment may be attributed to the economic climate, as financing rates for these are higher. In contrast, larger boats are enjoying a booming market, with sustained high prices. According to sportfishhub.com , new boat prices increased 10% on average in 2022 and are forecasted to rise another 2-5% in 2023. Popular brands and models may see waitlists extending into 2024. ![]() Impact of High Inflation and Interest RatesHigh inflation and fluctuating interest rates are not sparing the boating industry. As mentioned in the Future of Boating Report , these factors have significantly changed the industry. With increased production costs, boat manufacturers are transferring the expenses to the buyers, increasing the prices substantially. Moreover, high inflation and interest rates are affecting consumer purchasing behaviors. As mentioned on thehulltruth.com , boat prices are experiencing a 10% drop in some areas, signaling a potential market stabilization by the end of 2024. This trend might be driven by less-financing options for boats older than 15 years, limiting the number of potential buyers. Pandemic Aftermath and Economic RecoveryEffects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on BoatingThe COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the recreational boating industry. Demand skyrocketed as people sought outdoor activities that allowed for social distancing and a respite from lockdown restrictions. This led to a boom in boat sales during the height of the pandemic. However, as the pandemic is gradually brought under control and the economy starts to stabilize, the outdoor-recreation boom appears to be tapering off. A major factor contributing to this decline is the increase in interest rates in the United States, which has made financing boat purchases more expensive. This has led to a dip in boat sales as buyers reconsider their options. Additionally, the industry faces challenges in the form of inflation and supply chain disruptions, which have increased the costs of production and put upward pressure on prices for consumers. ![]() Comparative Analysis: Pre and Post-Pandemic Market ConditionsBefore the pandemic, the recreational boating market was already growing steadily. The COVID-19 pandemic created a sudden surge in demand that exceeded pre-pandemic levels. Here's a brief comparison of some key metrics:
Boat Pricing DynamicsNew Boat Price TrendsIn recent years, the boat market has experienced some significant fluctuations in pricing. New boat prices saw an average increase of 10% in 2022 , and experts anticipate this trend to continue. The projected rise for 2023 is between 2-5%, with prices expected to remain higher than pre-pandemic levels into 2024. Several factors are contributing to this upward trend:
Used Boat Market AnalysisThe used boat market has also experienced price changes, though they may vary depending on various factors, such as the age and condition of the boat. For example, a 5-year-old, 25-foot center console boat that originally sold for $100K could now fetch between $60-80K on the used market. As for the future outlook of the used boat market , it is challenging to predict with certainty. Some predictions suggest that a decrease in prices is possible, with factors such as inventory stabilization and eventual changes in demand potentially driving this trend. However, the broader economic conditions also play a significant role in determining the price movement. Boating Industry's Supply ChainInventory Management StrategiesIn recent years, the boating industry has experienced significant fluctuations in supply and demand. One of the key challenges for manufacturers and dealers is to maintain an optimal inventory level to meet the evolving market. Some proactive inventory management strategies include:
Supply Chain Issues and ResolutionsIn recent years, the boating industry faced supply chain disruptions that have impacted the availability of 2023 inventory. Limited inventory levels have led to increased prices and longer wait times for popular brands and models. Some of the key supply chain related challenges in the boating industry include:
To address these supply chain issues, manufacturers and suppliers in the boating industry have implemented various strategies. These include:
Boater Behavior and PreferencesShifts in Consumer DemandIn recent years, the boating industry has observed a shift in consumer demand towards more versatile, eco-friendly, and technologically advanced boats. Consumers are increasingly seeking out boats with efficient fuel consumption and lower emissions, as environmental concerns become more prominent. One popular trend is the growing interest in electric and hybrid boats, as they offer a cleaner and quieter boating experience. Additionally, well-maintained used boats have become an attractive option for budget-conscious boaters who prioritize sustainability. Advancements in technology have also driven changes in boater preferences. Autonomous features such as auto docking have gained popularity, as they simplify the boating experience and make it more accessible to a wider range of consumers. Thanks to cutting-edge sensors, GPS systems, and smart algorithms, docking has become significantly easier and safer. ![]() Buying Behavior of Recreational BoatersRecreational boaters have also shown a shift in their buying behavior. With the high demand and delayed availability of new boats, many boaters are now considering the secondary market. A key driver of this trend is the growing appreciation for well-maintained used boats that offer comparable performance to new models at a fraction of the cost. Budget-conscious consumers are now more inclined to explore financing, leasing, or even boat-sharing options to fulfill their boating desires. Moreover, some potential boat buyers have turned to alternative water-based activities, such as kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding, to satiate their thirst for aquatic experiences. In response to these changes, the boating industry has had to adapt its offerings, promotions, and marketing strategies to cater to the evolving preferences of the modern boater. Many manufacturers and dealers are now focusing on providing a seamless customer experience, offering extensive after-sales support, and forging long-lasting relationships with their clientele. Boating Industry's Economic ContextThe Role of Boating in Outdoor RecreationThe boating industry is an important component of the outdoor recreation sector, which has experienced significant growth in recent years. Boating activities, such as fishing, cruising, or watersports , are popular among both families and individuals looking to spend time outdoors. This increased interest in boating has had a positive impact on the recreational boating market , which is estimated to be worth around $27.32 billion in 2024. Some of the key factors driving this growth are:
Economic Impact on U.S. Businesses and JobsThe boating industry has had a significant economic impact on the U.S. economy, contributing to the growth of various industries and creating job opportunities. Some key insights regarding the boating industry's impact include:
Marine Technology and SustainabilityIn recent years, the marine industry has witnessed significant advancements in technology aimed at promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of boating activities. Some key areas of focus include innovative new products, alternative marine fuels, and novel propulsion systems that are better for our planet. Advances in Propulsion SystemsThe marine industry is seeing a steady shift towards more environmentally friendly propulsion technology innovations . Electric and hybrid propulsion systems have become increasingly popular as boaters demand cleaner alternatives to traditional fossil fuel-powered engines. These systems not only reduce emissions but also offer potential cost savings and a quieter boating experience . In addition to electric propulsion, hydrogen-fueled marine engines are gaining attention. Hydrogen, when used as a marine fuel, emits only water vapor and heat - making it an attractive option for decarbonization in the marine industry. However, challenges such as fuel production, storage, and infrastructure need to be addressed for these systems to become mainstream. Decarbonization in the Marine IndustryOne of the primary obstacles in achieving a carbon-neutral marine sector is the lack of sustainable marine fuels to replace fossil fuels currently in use. Recent developments in this domain involve the exploration and implementation of various renewable fuel options:
Another critical aspect of decarbonization in the marine industry is formulating and adhering to marine electric technology standards. These standards help ensure that new products and technologies developed for sustainable marine applications conform to specific guidelines, promoting safety, efficiency, and compatibility across the sector. Regional Market ConsiderationsNorth American Boat Market OverviewThe North American boat market has shown resilience in recent years despite economic uncertainties. According to the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) , several industry trends have emerged as we enter 2024:
The boat market's growth has been further driven by changes in consumers' preferences, with more people opting for outdoor and recreational activities. Brunswick Corp is one of the leading companies in the industry, highlighting the potential for market expansion in North America. Market Nuances in States like Florida and New YorkThe boat market outlook varies across different states in North America, with Florida and New York having unique market characteristics.
Financing and Ownership CostsWhen considering the purchase of a boat, it's essential to take into account not only the initial cost but also the ongoing expenses associated with ownership. This includes factors such as financing and borrowing costs. The boat market is currently experiencing a significant impact on financing options and borrowing costs. While new boat prices increased by 10% on average in 2022 and are forecast to rise another 2-5% in 2023, consumers and dealers may face elevated borrowing costs for months to come. This could make it more expensive for potential buyers to secure financing, affecting the overall demand for boats. Moreover, the boat market is highly price sensitive. As a result, any increase in production costs or borrowing rates may cause potential buyers to reconsider their purchase decisions. The sub-30-foot boat category is particularly affected, with most boats being financed and consumers being more cautious due to uncertainty in the market. This has created a buyer's market for smaller vessels. When assessing boat ownership costs, it is crucial to consider the following expenses:
Boat Shows and Industry EventsEffect of Boat Shows on Buyer SentimentBoat shows play a crucial role in the boating industry, particularly in shaping buyer sentiment and trends. Major events like the Dubai International Boat Show showcase stunning superyachts and cutting-edge nautical innovations, which can directly influence consumer confidence. These events allow potential buyers to explore various boat models, compare prices, and feel more informed before making a purchase. In 2024, the continuing trend of high-profile boat shows is expected to maintain the enthusiasm of buyers and contribute to the healthy growth of the boating market. For instance, the latest boat shows have displayed a variety of 2023 and some 2022 boats, indicating the strong demand and positive outlook in the industry. Winter Boat Shows and Their Influence on SalesWinter boat shows often hold a special importance in the industry, as they mark the beginning of a new boating season. These events are designed to draw in consumers who are preparing for the year’s boating activities, while also introducing them to new products and innovations. Despite the challenges faced by the industry in recent years due to supply chain disruptions and rising boat prices, boat price trends suggest that sales continue to remain strong. Winter boat shows play a significant role in sustaining this momentum, as they entice potential buyers and maintain consumer engagement with the latest boating trends. Visiting a winter boat show allows consumers to take advantage of purchase incentives, special offers, and expert advice. Moreover, boat manufacturers utilize these events to showcase their newest models and innovations, capturing the attention of potential buyers. Production and Builders' PerspectivesChallenges Facing Boat BuildersBoat builders in 2024 are confronting a variety of challenges. Among the most significant are the lingering supply chain disruptions that have led to increased boat prices . This has strained builder resources and placed pressure on the bottom line. Another issue faced by builders is the demand for more environmentally friendly, sustainable materials in their production processes, such as the use of fiberglass. Additionally, current industry trends toward autonomous docking and advanced navigating features are further stretching the capabilities of many boat builders, as they must rapidly adapt to new technologies and respond to shifting market demand. Production Adjustments and InnovationsMany boat builders are making strategic adjustments to their production process, such as investing in new technologies . They are developing and incorporating advanced assistance systems, like Volvo Penta's Assisted Docking system and Avikus's Neuboat Dock, which utilize sensors, GPS, and algorithms to streamline docking efforts. Boat manufacturers are also reconsidering their use of materials. Fiberglass , for example, has long been a popular choice for boat construction, but the industry is shifting toward more environmentally friendly, sustainable alternatives. These changes are vital to meet customer expectations and adapt to regulations, while also supporting more efficient production. Market Projections and Future TrendsPredictions for New Powerboat Retail SalesExperts predict that new boat prices will remain high in 2024 due to various factors affecting the industry. New boat prices increased by an average of 10% in 2022 and are forecasted to rise by another 2-5% in 2023. Popular brands and models may have waitlists extending into 2024, sustaining the high prices. The small boat market , however, is experiencing a different trend. Boats under 30 feet in size are currently in a buyer's market. This disparity is due to the majority of small boats being financed, with consumers being more cautious in response to media coverage of economic fluctuations. Emerging Technologies and Market DisruptorsInnovations in the boating industry have the potential to reshape market trends in the coming years. Some emerging technologies that could have an impact on the market include electric propulsion systems, renewable energy sources, and artificial intelligence for navigation and control. Among these technologies, electric propulsion has been gaining significant traction in recent years. With growing concerns over the environmental impact of traditional fuels, electric-powered boats are becoming more appealing to consumers. As a result, major manufacturers are investing in the research and development of electric motors and batteries to offer more efficient and environmentally friendly options. In addition to electric propulsion, renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power are also making their way into the boating industry. Solar panels and wind turbines are being incorporated into the design of new boats, providing a supplemental power source while reducing the vessel's overall carbon footprint . The integration of artificial intelligence and advanced navigation systems is another promising disruptor in the market. Sophisticated software and sensor technologies allow for improved navigation and safety, while offering a more personalized experience for boaters. By adopting advanced AI and automation, manufacturers can create a more accessible and enjoyable experience for all levels of boaters. Quality of Life and Recreational BoatingRecreational boating has seen significant growth in recent years. Individuals increasingly prioritize leisure and outdoor activities to enhance their quality of life. The recreational boating market was valued at USD 27.32 billion in 2024. It is projected to reach USD 36.78 billion by 2029, growing at a CAGR of 5.10%. As people's interest in outdoor recreational activities rises, so does their desire to spend time on the water. Boating offers various benefits to enhance one's quality of life, such as:
Even though the boat sales have cooled down in 2024 due to the post COVID-era demand surge, recreational boating remains a popular choice for outdoor activities. Various factors have driven the industry's growth, including innovations in boat designs, eco-friendly alternatives, and increased accessibility for a wider range of individuals. Despite the overall positive outlook, potential boat owners should carefully consider the costs and responsibilities associated with owning a boat. These may include maintenance, insurance, and storage fees, as well as the impact of fluctuating fuel prices and the potential for waitlists on popular brands and models extending into 2024. Frequently Asked QuestionsHow has the 2024 economic climate influenced boat sales?The current economic climate in 2024 has led to elevated borrowing costs, which in turn has a negative impact on the sales of boats in the US market. Boat stocks have struggled to start off the year, making it more challenging for consumers and dealers to afford financing options for boat purchases. What predictions are experts making for boat market trends in the next year?Experts predict that new boat prices will remain high in 2024, due to various contributing factors. New boat prices increased by 10% on average in 2022 and are forecast to rise another 2-5% in 2023. The high demand for boats and extended waitlists for popular brands and models are expected to sustain these price trends into 2024. How might regional differences, such as those in California, affect the 2024 boat market?Regional differences, such as the unique environmental regulations and state-specific economies, can impact the boat market in various ways. While this information isn't directly available for California, be aware that local market conditions might be different from the national trends as they can be influenced by the regional economy, local regulations, and consumer preferences. What are the potential risks for boat buyers and sellers in a volatile market?In a volatile boat market, buyers may face higher prices coupled with limited availability of desired models, as well as fluctuating interest rates on loans. Sellers, on the other hand, may need to compete with a smaller pool of potential buyers and may experience longer wait times for selling their boats, potentially at a lower price than anticipated. Are current financial conditions presenting a buyers' market for boats?Despite the challenging market conditions, the boat industry appears to be resilient in the face of inflation, falling stock prices, and recession fears. This suggests that demand for boats remains high, and it might not be a traditional buyers' market. However, certain segments of the market or specific regions might experience different market dynamics. How is the boating industry adapting to the potential market changes in 2024?The boating industry is continuously adapting to market changes and consumer demands. Manufacturers and dealers are working to improve efficiency, address supply chain challenges, and develop innovative products to enhance the boating experience. As new technologies and market trends emerge, the industry is expected to respond by offering new models and services to better cater to evolving customer needs.

The line of cars waiting to make a left out of the factory parking lot onto Route 9 is long enough to require a police officer to direct traffic. Of course, it wasn't always this way. Nothing rarely is. Greatness doesn't often start out great. Viking Yachts, now celebrating its 60th year in business, invested a ton of blood and sweat equity to summit the proverbial top of the luxury boat builder's mountain. "We were the laughingstock of the industry. Originally, I didn't think we'd survive," recalls Rudy Dalinger, an 80-year-old German immigrant who hasn't shed his thick accent or long hair tied in a ponytail — now silvery grey. Dalinger, who is Viking's new product development manager, was one of the first craftsmen hired by Bill and Bob Healey in 1964 when the two brothers purchased the ailing Peterson-Viking boat company. Three years before, the Healeys had built a marina with a vision of adding condos to their spot on the Bass River in the Pinelands, an out-of-the-way place in the 1960s. It still very much is. The condo plan did not pan out. Instead, they became boat builders. What's under the waves? NJ record lobster caught by Ocean County diver; no one will ever beat that record Building better boatsThe center of the boat building business then was Egg Harbor City. When the Healeys bought out Peterson-Viking they brought the company's boat fixtures north to their marina in New Gretna and set up in the dirt-floor warehouse that was used for storing boats. Then they went to work. Dalinger was hired in September for $2.10 an hour, five months after the acquisition. A carpenter by trade who built his own home and had formerly built hulls in Egg Harbor City, Dalinger worked with an initial small crew of about a dozen boat builders. Their first boats were 37-foot wooden yachts with teak cockpits and hand-painted hulls. Sometimes referred to as "brains and brawn," Bob Healey was the attorney and Bill Healey was the hands-on construction guy and a hard-nosed former marine. Bill was in there everyday, covered in sawdust with them. He was at the door to shake everyone's hand at the end of the day, too. "We started with nothing. He'd keep asking us, 'what do we need to make it easier, to build a better boat," Dalinger said. "And he went out and got it. Table saws, routers, planes, sanders. They may have been second-hand or bought at auction, but they worked." Invited on the boat? Safety tips, advice for being invited back And that became the Viking Yacht modus operandi: to build a better boat everyday. They made it through the 1960s. The company's first major milestone came in 1971 when they launched a fiberglass 33-footer. The next year Viking made its industry mark with the 40-foot Sedan Convertible, which remained in production for 16 years, selling more than 600 models. Nobody was laughing at Viking anymore. "We made our breakaway from Peterson-Viking then. Their boats had all been wooden. When we came out with the 40 footer, that really rocketed us up," said Pat Healey, Bill's son and the CEO and president of Viking Yachts. Boating safety: Hundreds of people die every year in boating accidents. Follow these 12 tips to stay safe Viking Yachts enjoyed smooth seas for most of the 1980s, bringing in top talent like Lonni Rutt at the end of the decade, who was building nuclear subs for a government contractor in Newport News, Virginia, before joining Viking Yachts. He was part of the core design team responsible for building the modern Viking sportfishing yachts beginning in the mid-1990s. "They had just finished the first expansion, the first expansion of the buildings, what we call our old lines 2, 3 and 4. They had just added the beginnings of the mill." Rutt said. Luxury tax flopsThen Congress and the George H.W. Bush administration introduced a luxury tax in 1991, seeking to hit the rich a with 10% surcharge tax on purchases over $100,000. The luxury-boat building business grounded on a shoal. Rather than create $9 billion in tax revenue, the rich stopped buying, and the tax cost production workers their jobs. In 1990, Viking sold 90 boats. When the tax went into effect, sales dropped to 32. A year later, the company sold just 12 boats. Rutt and many of the craftsmen who worked at Viking were temporarily out of work. Enter Bob Healey's talents. He took the fight to Washington, busing in unemployed craftsmen and got national attention on the issue by burning a boat on a barge in Narragansett Bay. Two years after the tax was introduced, it was canned by Congress and President Bill Clinton. "I watched as my father had to lay off people that had been here 15, 20 years for something that was completely out of our control," Pat Healey said. Hook, Line & Sinker: Fishermen use ballyhoo to land Yellowfin tuna in Hudson Canyon By 1994, Viking Yachts was back on the ascent. Pat Healey, who was out on the front lines at the boat shows and winning at prestigious fishing tournaments, showcased a 55-footer in 1997 that sold 115 models in five years. The Healeys would soon vertically integrate their business. Wind in their sailsFast forward to today and they've has grown into eight different companies in several states that form the Viking Marine Group. Their subsidies include Princess Yachts America, Palm Beach Towers and Atlantic Marine Electronics — the latter two allows them to deliver a fully outfitted luxury craft. They've added another boat works called Valhalla just a few miles away in Egg Harbor City on the Mullica River. All told, they employ 2,005 people. Their New Gretna headquarters has over 880,000 square feet of manufacturing space and production line nearly a quarter-mile long making boats from 38 to 90 feet. The Mullica River plant has 106,000 square feet of manufacturing space, and makes center consoles from 28- to 46-feet in length. These are no modest watercraft. Prices can range anywhere from $300,000 for a 28-foot Valhalla Bay boat to $12.5 million for the 90-foot Viking. Strange catch: Fish falls from the sky, smashes Tesla car windshield in Atlantic Highlands Since 1964, they've sold 5,500 boats. Bob has since passed away and Bill is retired. The future of the company lies in the hands of Pat and his three adult children. And they're in it for the long haul. "We're all in. Totally committed," Pat Healey said.
