Boat Trip

You can either rent a boat for private use or you can board one as a passenger. Countless options are open to you.

Possible Boat Trip Activities
You can plan numerous activities to participate in during your boat trip. For instance, you may want to go ice fishing, or you might want to take a long canoe trip. Perhaps you want to enjoy some speed boat racing, or just have a romantic dinner for two on the water. You may even want to take a longer cruise. Other people who plan outings on the water may want to go snorkeling or they may enjoy swimming with dolphins. These same people may also enjoy whale watching, or they may want to participate in whitewater rafting.

Types Of Boats Used For Different Trips
One type of boat that may be used for fishing boat tours would be a classic tour boat. Some of these are smaller and are built like a canoe with a motor. These are usually called speed boats, and are more designed for sports fishing. However, other tour boats are equipped with a variety of amenities, such as microwave, stove, cabinets, beds, and so forth. These could be used for a more leisure-style fishing tour. These are usually known as yachts, gulets, or similar model. Other types of boats that are used on boat tours include the pontoon, or the steamboat. Many trips are taken on major rivers like the Mississippi or the Rio Grande.

People who plan on taking a trip snorkeling or to swim with exotic animals will either board a passenger cruise ship or they will rent (or buy) a sale boat or one of the above-mentioned tour boats. Quite a bit of diving and swimming with animals occurs on Islands such as Hawaii or Alaska. You may also find opportunities to take boat or ship tours in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, or other gulf and sea areas. Many of the boats that are mentioned in the previous paragraphs can be taken on these trips.
