Watersports are no longer just a seasonal thrill—they're a global investment trend. From jet skis and speedboats to electric surfboards and towables, demand is exploding across luxury resorts, charter yachts, and rental fleets. For brokers, this isn't just about selling toys—it’s about tapping into a recurring revenue stream where trust, timing, and verified sourcing matter. Enthuzias empowers you to do exactly that.

Market Insights & Trends


Global Growth, Local Surge

  • The global watersports equipment market is projected to reach $60+ billion by 2030, with key growth from Asia-Pacific and the Middle East.

  • India’s tourism boom in states like Goa, Kerala, and Andaman is fueling demand for PWCs, boats, and rental equipment.

  • High Net Worth Individuals (HNWIs) are adding jet skis and e-foils to their charter and villa packages as standard.


Shifting Buyer Dynamics

  • Rental companies now prefer bulk seasonal sourcing over year-round inventory.

  • Charter yachts and villas increasingly bundle PWC experiences to boost value.

  • New HNWIs opt for lower-maintenance adventure assets like jetboards instead of full yachts.


Product Hot List for Brokers

  • Yamaha WaveRunners

  • Sea-Doo Spark

  • Towable tubes, inflatable bananas

  • Wakeboards, jetboards, e-foils

  • Boat engines (Suzuki, Mercury, Yamaha)



Practical Broker Strategies


1. Focus on Bulk & Fleet Deals

Resorts and rentals need multiple units, fast. Offer fleet packages (3–10 PWCs) with maintenance and warranty bundled.


2. Pair With Charter & Real Estate Assets

Pitch watersports as added value for villa listings, private islands, and superyachts. One closed real estate deal can result in multiple watercraft orders.


3. Use Verified Deal Matching

Avoid wasting time with cold leads. Use Enthuzias to:

  • Submit buyer LOIs

  • List available inventory

  • Get matched only with verified, serious counter-parties


4. Tap Into the Off-Market PWC Resale Game

Used PWCs are in hot demand for Goa, Thailand, Maldives. Brokers can play both sides—listings and resale acquisition.



Compliance & Operational Tips


  • Always check regional licensing (e.g., India’s Captain of Ports for Goa-based operations).

  • Help buyers understand HS code classification and GST for imported watersports goods.

  • Provide insurance advisory for demo rides, rentals, or fleet leasing.

  • Recommend local logistics partners to reduce transport and last-mile issues.
