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.

Fishermen will say that there is no experience quite like the bite of a big fish for getting the blood flowing through the veins. First time and only occasional fishermen have reported their open sea fishing trip to be the best part of a vacation. Many great fishing points are relatively close to the mainland meaning less traveling and more fishing. Amongst the vast number of breeds, wahoo, marlin and tuna are reportedly mysterious prey and very challenging to catch. It is worthwhile seeking out a reliable operator that is safe in addition to knowing about angling.

Enthusiasts of more traditional boating methods may opt for a sailing excursion. Regarded by many as a quieter more serene way of exploring the island paradise, 181 islands to be precise, there are no shortage of boats or rental options. Daily, weekly, crewed or without, large yachts, a dinghy or perhaps a catamaran, the choices go on and on.

Most companies require those who want to go it alone to prove their qualifications and attend an initial orientation briefing of local conditions and hazards. Due to the potential hazards, less experienced sailors are recommended to at least employ the services of a local skipper. The wonderful thing about sailing is that it is the ideal way to combine different activities. It is just so easy to lower anchor and stop for a swim, a spot of fishing, snorkeling, diving, or for that matter just stop for lunch.

Not all boating experiences involve being on or in the water. Parasailing is a unique way of getting a birds eye view of secluded beaches, turquoise water and abundant reefs by being suspended beneath a specially designed canopy and towed behind a motor cruiser. Tandem rides are also possible with the norm being to fly between 500 and 600 hundred feet and unless you request a dip, participants need not even get wet. Parasail operators are less common so more planning and advanced reservations are needed but the panorama and thrill are well worth the extra effort.

Underwater sports such as snorkeling and scuba diving are one of the main draw cards of the island. There is no shortage of shipwrecks and reefs for experienced divers with one of the most famous being South West Breaker. Teeming with marine life, more like an aquarium, divers report of barracudas in such large quantities that they block out the sunlight. Once again safety is paramount.

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.

Water skiing, wake board surfing, canoe trips are just a few more ideas not even discussed, emphasising again the massive variety of activities that boats make possible.
