The marina industry is navigating powerful currents of change—shifting economic realities, evolving boater demographics, and a growing wave of advocacy efforts that impact the future of waterfront businesses. This session will unpack the data behind today’s trends and highlight the policies, regulations, and economic forces shaping tomorrow’s marinas. In 2025, AMI, in partnership with Storable and Marina Dock Age, completed an industry survey to better understand marina businesses, operations, infrastructure, and expenses. Attendees will gain insight into how the industry is changing and be provided with metrics to help them position their business effectively. Whether you’re a marina owner, operator, developer, or supplier, you’ll leave with actionable insights to help you anticipate change, position your business for resilience, and strengthen your voice in shaping the future of the marine industry.
Speakers – Eric Kretsch, Brent Weirson
