For this reason, many people have started opting for boat rentals and yacht charters instead of buying one. This way you can enjoy a yacht or a boat that you have always dreamed of having without having to spend much cash.

Boat Rental Tips and Safety Information
Tuesday, December 29th, 2009Boat rentals are an easy way to turn a dull weekend into an awesome one! When you take your responsibility on the water seriously, boating can be a safe and fun way to spend time with your family and friends. This article will provide you with information that can help you have a great boat rental experience from start to finish. Whether you’re just out for a ride or enjoying your favorite water sports, the following will be beneficial to you. Boating is a very popular sporting and leisure activity in the United States. People travel from different corners of the country cruise some of the best boating destinations in the world. Water is a lot more fun when you have the means to travel through it! If there’s one thing, though, that every boater must know, it’s that safety comes first! Before you rent your first boat, make sure you know what you’re doing. What is your level of experience? If you have never driven a boat before, you should consider taking a boating safety course – it could end up saving your life (and many others!). At the very minimum, ask the boat rental company to take you out on the water to show you the basic operation and navigation techniques. They should explain to you the “rules of the road” so that you know what to look out for when you’re on the water. Becoming familiar with boating is just the first step. There are many different kinds of boats to choose from and each of them offer something unique. Boats can be powered manually or by motor. Boat rental companies may not offer every boat available, so it’s best to call ahead or check on their website to see if they have what you’re looking for. Here are a few boat rentals that could be available to you:Manually Powered Boats Kayaks are built to carry either one or two people. Their small, sleek design can help you paddle your way into the most remote areas better than any other boat. If you’re into physical activity, a kayak is definitely something to consider! Canoes provide a relaxing experience that allows you to paddle or drift along the banks or a lake or river. Perfect for taking in beautiful scenery and having a leisurely trip on the water. Motor Boats Pontoon boats are built on a pair of aluminum or steel pontoons. They are usually powered by outboard engines and generally offer plenty of open deck space with generous seating. Onboard amenities can include full galleys and entertainment centers, tables, enclosed head compartments and more. They provide a great party atmosphere as they can accommodate large parties. Sport boats are recreational, usually used for cruising, touring, towing for recreational watersports such as tubing and basic waterskiing, and casual fishing. Boat styles include runabouts with small cabins or open-bow areas, deck boats and small cruisers. This is one of the most common types of boat rentals. No matter what kind of boat you choose, please remember that safety is of utmost importance when you are in a boat. Before you rent, check to make sure the boat rental company provides or rents all of the safety equipment required by law. You should also make sure that the boat has some kind of communication equipment on board and if not, bring your cell phone. And always keep a first aid kit handy. Have fun!
Is A Boat Rental Club Right For You
Saturday, December 5th, 2009Owning a boat is a dream for many Americans, but one that can turn into a nightmare of unforeseen costs. Many novice boaters don’t realize all the costs associated with purchasing a boat and wind up with an expensive driveway ornament aside their car instead because they can’t afford gas, insurance or the other myriad things boat owners must pay for.
In recent years, enterprising business people have begun offering a solution for the high price of boat ownership: Boat rental clubs. These clubs rent out their fleet of boats to members on a daily, weekend or even monthly basis at a discounted cost. For example, one marina in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida charges non-members $329 to rent a 21-foot bow rider, but a member of the club would pay just $136, not including gasoline.
Typically, boat rental club members must pay yearly dues in order to receive the discounted prices. However, once most boaters add up the costs of insurance, gasoline, storage, docking and maintenance, not to mention the actual purchase of the boat itself, they find that joining a rental club saves them money. Boat rental clubs may also offer their members other benefits such as discounts on equipment rentals like skis or scuba gear, discounts at local restaurants and a special price on gasoline and oil.
Membership plans vary from club to club. Some offer annual memberships with a high initial cost and lower costs for renewals. Some offer a flat annual fee with no further rental costs. Some offer seasonal memberships. Be sure you understand all the terms of the membership agreement and don’t allow yourself to be pressured into more of a membership than you feel you need. For example, if you’re new to boating and unsure how much you will actually use your membership, a multi-year contract is probably not the best choice for you.
Finally, if you are an avid boater and plan on taking your boat out for several days every week, or for a series of long trips, a boat rental club may not offer you the same savings as it would a more casual boater. To see if a rental club would save you money, total up all the costs associated with your boat and divide that by the number of days you plan to use it in a year. Then add up all the costs associated with a boat rental club membership and divide by the number of days you will use your membership. Whichever number is lower will be the most cost-effective option for you.
