Figures released by British Marine Federation (BMF) and Superyacht UK show that the superyacht industry in Britain is thriving despite a difficult economic climate. Businesses in the UK superyacht sector, have reported increased turnover year-on-year, an increased workforce and a healthy level of optimism about the future.

- There are now around 3,500 people working in the sector
- 96% of businesses surveyed reported a similar or increased number of employees when compared to 2007
Perhaps the most encouraging news for the sector is the level of optimism reported by those surveyed. 92% perceive it to be excellent or good, with only 1% rating prospects as 'poor' or 'very poor'.
