There are Many Ways to Discover Boating this Summer

Discover Boating - Kayaking

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Discover Boating. I received collateral to facilitate my review and a promotional item as a thank you for participating.

My family has had a great summer. We’ve traveled a bit, enjoyed the outdoors, gone to 4-H camp, spent time in the pool, and many other fun summer activities. It seems like our summer break has just flown right by, with school starting up in less than two weeks. We will soon be missing all that summer has to offer, including the bright sunshine and warm weather. But summer is not over yet and there are still some things we want to do like more time at the beach and boating. Summer is the perfect time to discover boating and you don’t have to own a boat to get out on the water.

Discover Boating - Airboat

There are many ways to discover boating. If you don’t own a boat, you can go boating with friend or get a boat rental for an afternoon or a day. Many marinas offer partial and full day boat rentals. If a speed boat isn’t quite your speed, pontoon boats are a lot of fun and can accommodate larger groups. You can even go on an airboat ride, like my family recently did while visiting Florida. It was a lot of fun! Sailing, kayaking, and canoeing are other great boating options.

Discover Boating - Kayaking

A few weeks ago while at 4-H camp my grandson got to go kayaking for the first time. He said it was the most fun he ever had. He enjoyed it so much that we’ve been checking into purchasing some kayaks for the family. Kayaking and canoeing are definitely some of the more affordable ways to discover and have fun boating.
