As the boating industry faces significant challenges in the coming decade, Midlands Boat Surveys is well-positioned to guide owners through evolving complexities. The residual cost of living crisis; lingering effects of Brexit have already impacted boat ownership costs, with rising prices for maintenance, mooring fees, and fuel. These factors, coupled with the global push toward clean energy, raise important questions for the future. How will European market for motor cruisers adapt to stricter environmental regulations, and what will the transition to electric or hybrid engines mean for traditional boat owners? Similarly, will UK narrowboats, often reliant on diesel engines, face increased legislative pressure to adopt greener technologies, and how will this affect boat affordability and practicality?

Mooring fee dilemmas are another growing concern, as demand for limited spaces continues to outstrip supply. With the cost of boat ownership rising, will fewer people be able to enjoy the boating lifestyle, or will innovative solutions emerge to make it more accessible?
