Recreational boats, also known as pleasure boats or leisure boats, are watercraft designed and used primarily for recreational purposes rather than for commercial or industrial activities. These boats are typically used for various leisure activities on water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and coastal areas. Recreational boats come in a wide range of sizes, styles, and configurations to accommodate different preferences, activities, and water conditions. Recreational boats are used for a wide range of activities, including cruising, fishing, watersports, sightseeing, socializing, and relaxation.
The growth of the recreational boats market is driven by the growing tourism sector, rising disposable income, and growing participation in water sports and boating activities. However, strict pollution norms for recreational boats and high fuel prices restrain the market's growth.
Furthermore, the innovation in boat engines and integration of IoT & sensor-based technologies are expected to offer significant growth opportunities for players operating in the recreational boats market.
