G’day, boat enthusiasts and water lovers! Are you ready to dive into the exciting world of boating? Well, hold onto your life jackets because we’ve got some ripper news for you!
Queensland is officially Australia’s boating capital, and the numbers don’t lie, mates! With over 1 million boat licences issued in the Sunshine State, it’s clear that Queenslanders have a passion for life on the water. In fact, since boat licences were introduced back in 1962, we’ve seen a whopping 1.032 million licences issued, up from 979,000 just last year!
But it’s not just about the licences. Queensland is home to a staggering 277,000 registered watercraft, making it the state with the most registered vessels in all of Australia. Talk about making a splash!
And if you think that’s impressive, get this – the number of registered jet skis in Queensland has surged by a massive 33.7 percent! For those who prefer a bit more room to move, boats in the 6m-8m range have swelled by 19 percent. It seems like everyone’s keen to get out on the water these days!
So, whether you’re a seasoned skipper or a landlubber looking to dip your toes into the boating world, there’s never been a better time to get involved. And what better way to start than by visiting the Cleveland Caravan Camping Boating and 4X4 Expo?
