Who needs a fancy itinerary, overpriced airfare and hotel

room, and hordes of nomadic tourists leading one another to the
same tired tourist haunt? you have a boat. and that gives you a
whole other opportunity to create the perfect vacation close to
home, with the increasingly popular staycation.

isn't that the greatest thing about a boat, anyway? you have

the perfect combination of water, good times and togetherness.
avoid the airports, lines, traffic and the over-trod tourist traps, and
opt for your boat this summer.

leisure

let's start with the whole point of the staycation leisure,

however you define it. it's your chance to do the things you always
talked about doing, before everyday life got in the way. Whether
it's relaxing in the sun with a good book, entertaining on deck
with family and friends, or venturing off to new horizons in your
backyard or the town next door, your boat is both a means and a
destination.

yachting

if you are lucky enough to enjoy owning a yacht, as the old

saying goes, you are lucky enough. the beauty of a yacht staycation
is that you really can enjoy all of the luxuries of home right on
board your vessel. so a cruise close to home is made all the better
with the craftsmanship and elegant appointments of a yacht. so
stay-cate in style, and really enjoy a relaxing yachting experience
in waters near your home.

fishing

catch the unmatched excitement of landing the fish of your

dreams. We get it; we love to fish, too. Whether it is on a lake,
in the bay or miles offshore, fishing can be the ultimate catch
and release of a glorious staycation. land the perfect one while
staying close to home. you're a native. you know these waters.
that makes you the fish's most feared opponent. enjoy this

new-found status and revel in the fact that you did not have to
travel a bunch of miles to find your favorite fishing hole.

YOUR bOAT IS A

STAYCATION DESTINATION

Great boating ideas for a local summer splash.

Watersports

of course, nobody ever said a staycation has to be tranquil. if

you consider yourself more of a thrill seeker than a book reader,
your family boat can be the perfect transport to a whole other
world of watery adventure. Here there are no lanes, no limits.
strap on a board or skis, you become one with the water and a
whole new experience is born. this is the way to push the limits of
the staycation. Defy gravity. and then just drive a few miles back
to the house.
