Italian nautical leasing 2020 recorded really important data. From January to December 2020, there was a +21.9% increase in the number of contracts signed (398) worth 594 million euros, up 17.3%. Both recreational and commercial boating are covered in this count. It must be said, however, that recreational boating by value weighs 95.7 percent of total leasing. This data comes from Assilea, the Italian leasing association, which also adds to this data an overview of the 2013-2019 period, in which boat leasing financing in Italy increased by 280 percent.

“With a spike,” Roberto Neglia, institutional relations manager of Confindustria Nautica, also points out. connected to the Genoa Boat Show last October, the only one held in Europe in Covid times, with hard work and a lot of worry, but these figures tell what it meant in terms of the market.”
