Last month, 323 recreational vessels were registered at national level, compared with 246 and 236, registered in September 2019 and 2018, respectively.

From January to September, 4,786 recreational boats have been registered in Spain compared to 5,478 in the same period last year.

In the year's cumulative, due to the fall of April and May, the registration of ships for the charter lose -27.38%.
