Our family spends a lot of time in the outdoors. We like to ride 4-wheelers, fish, hunt, and go on hikes. Husband and I are planning on surprising our kids this summer by either renting a boat or having a fishing trip chartered. I can’t wait to see the smiles on our kids’ faces when we are out fishing and enjoying the water.
Do you fish, cruise, wakeboard, or sail? It has been years since I’ve been out fishing on a boat or even on a personal water craft for that matter. Boating and summer go hand in hand and there’s no better way to have fun than to get out on the water. Especially if you haven’t had a chance to get your feet wet this summer, I hope the Get on the Water tool and other tips on DiscoverBoating.com spur some ideas and awaken your inner boater. The Get on the Water tool helps you find exactly what you want to do on the water close to home (e.g. peer to peer rentals, PWC rentals, charters, etc.)
Looking for ways to get out and enjoy the water this summer be sure to check out Discover Boating. The 4th of July is right around the corner. Get out on the water and make this Independence Day one your family will never forget. Take your family boating this summer.
Check out the boat selector. There is a boat to fit every family and every outdoor water adventure.
If you find yourself on a boat and take a selfie, please use hashtags: #boatie and #discoverboating if you post to social media.

• Boats are uniquely made in America: 94.9% of powerboats sold in the U.S. are made in the U.S.
• There were an estimated 12 million registered boats in the U.S. in 2014.
• 95% of boats on the water (powerboats, personal watercraft, and sailboats) in the U.S. are small at less than 26 feet—boats that can be trailered by a vehicle to local waterways.
• Boating is primarily a middle-class lifestyle as 71.5% of American boat owners have a household income less than $100,000.Source: National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) 2014 U.S. Recreational Boating Statistical Abstract

We spent a ton of time on the boat, jet ski’s and quads this fourth of july weekend. So much fun!
I grew up boating! It is such a fun time, especially when you’re a kid. It is so fun and definitely super family boding time.
I haven’t been on a boat yet this summer. I fully intend to go though. 🙂
I’ve only been boating once. Yet, boating has been on my mind a lot. I wanted to go on a boat for the fourth. Maybe next year.
We want a boat SO bad. We live on the water so we even have a parking space! 😉
