Good Morning Cleveland anchor Mike Brookbank hit the water with one Brecksville woman to break down some reasons why we're seeing this trend.
Statistics show that in 2020, women shopping for boats increased by a whopping 75%.
"There was a point where I said, you know, there's no reason I can't do this. I think there was just, you know, breaking those stereotypes," said Gawelek."The number of women is definitely increasing," said Susan Scott. "I started boating and sailing with my mom and dad when I was seven. I got my first boat when I was 13," said Scott."I think times are changing and that women feel empowered and feel that they are able to do it all by themselves," said Scott."I think that it's, it's fabulous that women are getting out here, and being independent and doing their own thing and enjoying it. It's such a pleasure to get out and captain your own vessel," said Gawelek.
