As the recreational boating industry faces shifting economic tides, understanding the sentiments of its leaders has never been more critical.

NMMA recently launched the Marine Leadership Barometer, a quarterly survey with the first one fielded for Q1 2025, designed to capture the insights and expectations of its member CEOs and senior executives regarding the industry's current and future state. Respondents completed the survey between March 10-21. During this two-week period, which fell ahead of April 2 "Liberation Day" and subsequent tariff announcements, in a cautiously optimistic signal for the U.S. recreational boating industry, 45% of marine manufacturers reported a guardedly positive outlook for the year ahead.
