North Sardinia, home of yachts, 2022 was the record year in terms of exports for the nautical sector of the Olbia and Gallura districts, with a 124% increase in boat exports compared to the 2021 data and 17 million in value overall .
Numbers that concern exports to the USA make you shudder, + 450% compared to 2021 for a value of 5 and a half million .
Suffice it to say that the export of boats from Gallura to the United States in the last five years had always been less than a million, therefore it is a historical record for the boats produced and exported .
Commercial relations in particular between Olbia and the USA took a turn when the Sno group, with operational headquarters in the Cipnes consortium production district, stipulated a significant agreement to produce motorboats of the Magnum Marine brand in Miami .
According to what was verified by the industrial consortium of the northeastern Sardinia-Gallura province, the value of exports of boats and yachts was 7.6 million in 2021, 3.2 million in 2020, 11.2 million in 2019 and 12. 5 in 2018 .
In 2022, the first market for boats in the province of Sassari was Cyprus, with exports amounting to 7.4 million . A novelty, because it is a completely unexplored market by the nautical producers of northern Sardinia which offers, like Malta, great discounts for boat owners. Followed by the United States, which recorded the highest growth. While the third market is that of the United Arab Emirates .
