Boat Sales Surge During Pandemic

Shady Side, MD (May 26, 2020) - "Sales have exploded over the past four weeks." That sentiment, expressed to International Boating Industry by Clarks Landing Yacht Sales Yachts Sales general manager Dave Patnaude, is seemingly shared by a variety of boat dealers across the US. His two locations in Maryland and one in New Jersey have seen around US$4m in sales in the past month - from a used, US$15,000 runabout to a US$1m BENETEAU - despite locations being closed or operating under COVID-19 restrictions.

"Customers are saying 'we're not going on a cruise, we're not going on vacation and renting a beach house, so we're buying a boat to get out on the water as a family'," Patnaude said.
