Whether you want to rent or buy a boat, over a dozen studies have shown that being with family and friends, relaxing and being outdoors and close to nature are the primary reasons people spend time on the water. Recreation with family doesn't have to mean spending a fortune on a theme park vacation in order to have an experience that everyone will enjoy. Should you decide to buy a boat, the monthly payments can often be less than $200, which is well worth the improvement in quality of life.

Boating is about Family
Work. School. Music lessons. Sports practice. Ever feel like your family is being pulled in a million different directions? Bring them back together with recreational boating.

Time spent on a boat is quality time. Whether you're fishing, swimming, tubing or just cruising along taking in the scenery, you're having fun together. You're not waiting in long lines, under the hot sun, bickering about what ride to go on next.

Out on the water there are no distractions. You can focus on each other. You can have conversations. Share stories. Laugh. Reconnect and create memories that will last a lifetime. 

Life really is better on a boat.

Boating Lets You Relax
It's hard not to relax when you're on a boat. Out on the water there are no faxes. No computers. No interruptions. There is the open water. The fresh air. The sun warming your face. And a sense of freedom and adventure you can't find anywhere else.

Whether looking for blissful, deadline-free days or pulse-quickening adventures, you can find them with recreational boating. After all, you're the captain when you buy your own boat. The only rules are the ones that you make. And you're free to break those.

With a boat, great getaways are just a weekend away. You may be just a few miles from home, but it feels like you're a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of your daily routine.

Go boating—and find the freedom to be your best. 

You'll never catch your limit of fun
Buy a boat, and you'll never catch your limit of fun. There are always new places to explore. Bigger fish to catch. Friends to be found. And new memories to be made.

Reeling in the big one, catching a wave off the board or just taking in the scenery, after a full day of fun on the water, it's easy to remember why it's called the "Great Outdoors".
