British Marine (BM) is the trade association for the UK`s boating industry. Its primary role is to represent and promote the industry both within the UK and abroad. The Federation has approximately 1500 members, which are drawn from a wide cross-section of the UK boating industry, from boat builders to marina operators, hire boat operators to specialist equipment and clothing manufacturers.

BM Members represent over 75% of the UK marine industry revenue, which annually is worth in excess of £2.8 billion, of which 33.1% is exported. There are also 31 Regional and Group Associations representing specialist interests within the industry. British Marine offers a range of services for the benefit of members.
