• What is happening in the pre-owned boat market? 
• The Covid spike in boat sales, 2021 and earl ’22 began a rapid taper that continued to slide into the spring of 2023. Multiple buyers driving up prices, as in ’21, are now a distant memory. The first 6 months of 2023 dealers and brokers realized the asking prices need to be adjusted, not based on 2021 sales. Now we are seeing sales increase if the boat is dialed in and the price reasonable. Supply is up and demand is down 30%. The buyers who are ready buyers are very methodical and looking for a “deal”. That being said, when a “special” example of a popular model comes on line there are buyers waiting. Mostly original condition 10, 15 -20 year old boats are a tough sell until the prices get aggressive.
• Boats that have impressive updates, healthy mechanicals and cosmetics are still in high demand, just at lower values. Todays consumer has no interest in boats that need “some work” before they are ready to go cruising.

• From the Triton:

Lithium-ion battery related yacht fires have been increasing in recent years, with toys and other devices on board yachts being powered by them. These batteries are particularly dangerous due to the nature of how they combust, which includes thermal runway, the process in which they burn. Saltwater exposure can also cause a chemical reaction in lithium-ion batteries which creates a high fire risk.

Increased lithium-ion battery fires have prompted The United Kingdom’s Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) to release new fire safety and storage guidelines of small electric powered craft on yachts. These fires have also become a reoccurring topic among seminars in the yachting industry, as regulators, insurers, and manufacturers work towards solutions.
