Destinations

Even if you’re fairly landlocked, it may surprise you to find out that vacations with a boat are within your reach. Of course if you've got a trailer, the answer might be a road trip to a new body of water, whether it's a chain of lakes you've always heard about, a cruise down river to a hidden port-of-call gem or even a longer adventure to the ocean or Intracoastal Waterway. And planning is half (well, maybe not QUITE half) the fun. Find the perfect waterside Bed & Breakfast, a state park you've always wanted to visit or even a family friendly waterfront amusement park that will delight the kids. Adventure is part of the allure of boating, so remember not to limit yourself to your home lake you know like the back of your hand. Get the whole gang involved in choosing the location, learning new skills you may need along the way, and getting all the gear squared away for your journey. Your gift could include a stop at someplace your recipient has always talked about like the river that holds the world record for brown trout. Let your imagination run wild...but you COULD start with our boating destinations guide.
