Here are some of our favorite things about owning and using a boat.
No screens, no wifi, no distractions. Just you and the people you love most. Choosing [or forced] to spend uninterrupted family time on the water. 💗
2. Connects You With Nature
Especially for those of us who live in the city, there is something about being outside with the creatures and fresh air that is so needed by our bodies. The sounds, smells, and feeling you get being outdoors in the summer is an instant mood booster.
3. A Reason to See Friends
While we're not suggesting our friends only like us for our boat, we love that it serves as a reason to get together with them. In the summer, almost every weekend is filled with friends and their families out with us on the lake. From besties to every-once-in-a-while buddies, an invitation to rip around the lake on a Saturday is hard to turn down and is a great excuse to spend time together.
4. Sense of Adventure
Trying different lakes, exploring the awesome fishing spot your brother's boss told you about, and standing behind the wheel pretending to be Captain Jack Sparrow. Who's doesn't enjoy those things?
5. Reduces Stress
Our lives are so busy during the week that, come Friday afternoon, it's time to kick back and relax. It's been shown that spending time near water can actually reverse the effects our body feels after being in an "unpleasant" city all week long and reduces the production of stress hormones in the body.
6. Mini Vacations All Summer Long
You know that feeling of leaving work a little early on a Friday to change into shorts, load up the car with the kids/dogs/cooler, and hit the road before rush hour hits? Knowing that your next few days will be spent in the sunshine away from your phone? Ya, we really like that feeling. 😉

7. Gets You Moving
You might have a favorite activity, but we're up for pretty much anything involving our boat. Tubing, skiing, swimming, water sports, diving, even cleaning and maintenance! The great thing is, all of these activities get you moving your body and are a great alternative to sitting inside watching Netflix all summer. That means we don't have to hit gym all summer, right? 🤔

8. Brings New People Into Your Life
Whether you have a cottage or try a different lake every other weekend, don't you find there's a great sense of community surrounding lakes? It gives people a reason to talk and socialize in a way that's different than in the city. A quick "hello" turns into longer conversations that lead to dinner with each other's families all summer long. Some of our longest friendships have started at the lake.
9. The Fun Never Ends!
One thing's for sure - you're never bored when you own a boat. There's always cleaning and maintenance to be done, new toys and inflatables to try from different brands, and "if the sun's a shining, we're a riding!"
