Boat Rentals In Bermuda Create A Whole New Market For Vacationers

By Alta Alexander


Visiting Bermuda without experiencing the sea is like a trip to the Grand Canyon and not looking at the scenery. And of course one of the best ways to experience the ocean is on a boat. Boat rentals in Bermuda can transform a holiday into an unforgettable experience. Here are a few great ideas for having an amazing time on a boat.

Anglers relate that there is nothing like having a large fish on your line to get adrenaline rushing through the body. Even those who are not regular or enthusiast anglers describe a deep sea fishing excursion as a holiday highlight. They are not so deep sea either as many top sites can be reached within forty five minutes. Marlin, tuna and wahoo, amongst hundreds of other species, seem to provide the greatest challenge and mystique. Research a reputable charter company that focuses on safety as well as fishing.

Traditional lovers of sail power may prefer a yachting experience. Possibly a calmer and more sedate method to explore the many islands and inlets. There are 181 islands in the archipelago to be accurate and probably as many rental agencies. Yacht rentals can be arranged over periods from a day to months and craft range from kayaks and dinghies to ocean crossing trimarans, with or without crews.

Those who wish to skipper their own craft on the ocean need to provide a record of qualification and experience as well as attend a familiarization program. Inexperienced users are advised to make use of skippers who know the local conditions and hazards. One advantage of sailing is flexibility. It is relatively easy to drop anchor and enjoy some swimming, angling, snorkel or scuba dives. Of course if this sounds a little too hectic, one could simply enjoy a delicious luncheon.

Boating activities do not have to be in or on the sea. A fantastic way of viewing the amazing coastline, hidden bays, dazzling water and prolific reefs is parasailing. Suspended from a customized canopy, sometimes two at a time, and hauled behind a powerful boat at heights of up to six hundred feet. This has to be the ultimate boating flying experience and getting wet is optional. This is well worth reserving in advance as parasail providers are more scarce and tend to get booked up.

Of course diving, whether with a snorkel or scuba, is one of the activities that has made the island famous. Shipwrecks and reef diving sites are plentiful for those with experience such as one very popular area called South West Breaker. Divers have mentioned there to be so much marine life that it was comparable to an aquarium. Barracudas in such a vast numbers have been known to obscure the sunlight. Needless to say using a safe dive company is a must.

Lack of experience need not be an obstacle as there are many well run and certified companies offering introductory courses to newcomers. First timers do not have to fear doing all the instruction in a pool either as some companies hold part of their training on safe reef locations such as Sandy Hole.

This short article really just touches on an enormous holiday recreation subject and has not even mentioned water sports such as kayaking, water skiing and wake boarding. The scope and range of boating holidays is enormous.
