Bareboat Charter Industry Study 19 Annual Survey Key Charter Market Findings Bareboat chartering reports its 5 th straight year of growth. Charter weeks out of the North American source market total 28,206, up 7% over 2014. Charter fleets down slightly, losing 93 boats. Fewer boats and growth of weeks means better utilization. There is no slow season any more. Multihulls are now reported to be 41% of the bareboat charter fleets. North American destinations gained market share as US consumers show concerns about safety abroad. The Caribbean continues to be the favorite destination for North American sailors, taking 74% of bareboat weeks Estimated base bareboat fees in 2015 topped $111 million, reflecting charter week gains, and increasing prices due to more cats in the fleets. 14 Source: 2015 Bareboat Charter Industry Study

State of the Industry Study Observations North American sailboat production was off 27% in 2015, hitting a new baseline of 5,226 units. Small boats under 20 drove the decline, off 27% and nearly 1700 units. Boats over 20 also took a significant hit, off 23% following a 28% decline in 2014. There were two size segments which posted gains in 2015. Boats 30-35 feet were up 2%, and boats over 60 were up 40% on the strength of two additional units. 56 Source: 2015 North American Sailing Industry Study
State of the Industry Study Observations Multihulls were another bright spot in 2015, gaining 3% in unit production and once again comprising 20% of domestic sailboat production. The estimated retail value of sailboats produced in North America followed the unit decline and was down 26% to $184 million in 2015. North American sailboat builders had been very bullish on 2015, predicting an +18% growth in 2015. The sobering reality of a 27% decline has encouraged much more cautious optimism for 2016 where they predict a more moderate increase of 9%. 57 Source: 2015 North American Sailing Industry Study
