Top 20 World Marinas by unique AIS visitors
sQuidd.io tracks the number of times a Pleasure Craft (code 36 and 37 of the AIS classification) checks into a marina, anchorage or other sailing destination. Below is the ranking of the most popular destinations during the month of September 2013.
Those Côte d'Azur destinations were pretty busy this last summer! Time to head to the Caribbeans? We expect things to get pretty busy over there too once the 2013 hurricane season is over. Look forward to the December report to see how many of those sQuidders have headed over to the warm waters of St Barth!
Granted, when the ITU refers to these boats as "Pleasure Crafts", the emphasis is on the word pleasure: some of these boats are over 100mt in length, have a helicopter landing pad and gold-plated shower faucets, but, regardless, the number of recreational boats (i.e. the type you and I are likely to ever own) using AIS is increasing by the day. More on that subject in a later post.
