Trends in Watersports Participation

It’s vital to understand how many people are taking part in boating and watersports and identify trends over time. Our consortium of BMF , MCA , RNLI , RYA sponsored by Ybw.com commission Arkenford to conduct an omnibus survey of 12,000 people.

Trends are detailed for 12 boating activities since 2002 and a further 9 water-based leisure activities.  The report includes demographics, frequency, coastal and inland participation, home and abroad participation and household boat ownership.
