The American Boat Builders and Repairers Association invites members to participate in our Marina and Boatyard Industry Wage Rate Survey, a comprehensive compensation study designed to help marina businesses better understand industry wage trends and remain competitive in attracting and retaining skilled employees. ABBRA is happy to partner with the Association of Marina Industries on the 2026 survey and report, a partnership that started in 2022.
The survey collects compensation information for a wide range of positions, including common boatyard operations and management roles, including specialized technical positions such as marine electricians, marine service technicians, and other skilled trades.
With your participation, ABBRA hopes to provide valuable compensation benchmarks specific to the boatyard industry.
Your participation will help build a more comprehensive picture of compensation across the marine industry and provide valuable data to support workforce planning, recruitment, and employee retention.
As a thank-you, everyone who completes the survey within the next two weeks will receive a FREE copy of the final report, coming this winter.
Thank you for supporting your industry and helping us strengthen the marine workforce!
