A recreational or pleasure boat is a vehicle built to move in waters close to shores or inland waterways. Leisure vessels are classified as boats used for recreational activities such as hunting, kayaking, and canoeing, among others. Apart from recreational activities, these vessels are also used for commercial purposes such as water travel and short-distance freight. The global recreational boat market is witnessing steady growth despite witnessing a drastic decline during the global recession of 2008−2009. However, the market is yet to achieve pre-recession levels in terms of retail sales worldwide.
