How to make boating industry careers more attractive?

How to make boating industry careers more attractive? This event raised a question on the lips of all elected officials and boating industry players: "Boating in the golfe de Saint-Tropez by 2030 / 2050, what strategy for a more sustainable territory?"

An opportunity to mobilize partners and present to businesses the projects supported by the Communauté de communes. 300 ESTABLISHMENTS Today, in the golfe de Saint-Tropez, the boating industry is made up of human-sized businesses (with nearly 300 establishments) generating a turnover of around €200M in 2022. Concretely, the activity is divided into 5 major categories (studies and engineering, distribution, repair, maintenance and custom manufacturing, rental, concierge services, and transport and related services).

Repair and maintenance establishments are the most numerous (shipyards, service providers, subcontractors) as are the leisure bases located along the coastline, for an essentially seasonal activity.

In detail, the economic fabric consists of many VSEs, between 87% and 92%. A few SMEs, whose headquarters are outside the territory, are also present (CABESTO, LAPP MULLER, MONACO MARINE, SERVAUX YACHTING, WAUQUIEZ BOATS).

WHAT STRATEGY FOR THE SECTOR? For the speakers, many questions arise for this maritime economy, including: The importance of structuring sectors for the territory, A strategy for collective success, The golfe de Saint-Tropez facing ecological challenges, A nautical cluster for the golfe de Saint-Tropez, is it possible (how is a cluster built?)

, The company at the heart of the attractiveness process, New technologies serving territories and the environment, The maritime sector at the heart of training, The necessary adaptation to the job market, Why create the unique global environmental standard for marinas? Territories on the front line of decarbonization, Employment and training in boating careers: what match? The golfe de Saint-Tropez, a “learning” territory, The boating school in the golfe de Saint-Tropez: an ambition for our young people.

So many themes addressed in depth by boating, territory, and training experts before an audience of elected officials and sector professionals.
