Boating for Bliss

THE BIRDS, THE BEES, THE BOATERS! HAPPIEST SPRINGTIME COUPLES LIKELY TO BE BOATERS

National Survey Indicates Boat Owners Rate Marriage, Romance, Health, Other Key Areas of Life Satisfaction Higher

According to recent findings, the happiest couples this season are likely to be boaters. A new national survey released today during the Miami Boat Show finds boat owners report higher levels of satisfaction in marriage and romance than non-boaters. In addition, many key areas of life, including overall well-being, friendship, spirituality, health, work, leisure, sleep and finances, are more likely to be rated "excellent" or "very good" by boat owners than by their non-boat owning counterparts. The survey of nearly 1,100 Americans was conducted on-line by Impulse Research Corporation, Los Angeles , and commissioned by the National Marine Manufacturers Association. The survey queried 542 boat owners and 536 non-boat owners.
