Planning a Boat Trip

We all know about road trips, but much less common and a whole lot more fun are boat trips. Unlike a cruise that often involves a big investment and sharing the boat with several others, a boat trip is just friends and family taking a boat up and down the coast. There are all kinds of little ports and docks on coasts around the nation, and most are more than happy to let boats moor at their docks for free or for a small fee. It can be a lot of fun traveling via boat down the coast, docking in the evening, and sleeping in the boat or in a hotel at night. Boating is a whole lot more fun than just traveling in a car, and is just as feasible. It is a good idea to bring a marine GPS along for the ride, as getting lost can be a real danger under adverse weather conditions. However, with a marine GPS, a radio, and a little preparation, a boat trip is even safer than a road trip.

Instead of road tripping somewhere this summer, rent or borrow a boat and take it down the coast for a weekend, a week, or a whole month. There’s no telling what kind of adventures await on the open water!
