Why does so many boat brands come out of Finland?

Posted on May 4, 2021May 4, 2021 By Jaykay No Comments on Why does so many boat brands come out of Finland?
Boats general

Finland is a country with one of the highest number of boats per capita. There are 1.2 million boats in Finland and only 5.5 million people which means that more than every fifth Finn owns a boat.

Reasons Finland is the home of so many boat brands

Finland has MANY islands

Greece is known for its islands. It has approximately 1 400 islands. United States has 18 617 islands. Finland has 178 947 islands from which 98 050 are freshwater islands and 80 897 sea islands. This means that Finland has over 100x more islands than Greece and 10x more than US. The only country in the world with more islands is Sweden with its 221 831 islands (and, by the way, there is also quite a few boat brands coming from Sweden).

Finland has MANY lakes

There are some 187,888 lakes larger than 500 square metres (5,400 sq ft) in Finland. About 57,000 of them have an area larger than 10,000 square metres (110,000 sq ft). The European Union contains 93 lakes with an area exceeding 100 km2. Forty-seven of these are in Finland, meaning Finland has more than all the other EU states put together.
