Boat Rentals In Bermuda Create A Whole New Market For Vacationers

By Alta Alexander


Making a visit to Bermuda and not spending some time on the ocean is a little like going to the ski slopes and not experiencing the thrill and of a downhill ski run. Boat rentals in Bermuda can change vacations into amazing experiences. Following are some hints on enjoyable boating activities.

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.

Customers of larger vessels will be required to prove their sailing and navigational skills as well as attend briefings pertaining to regional weather and potentially hazardous areas. Local captains and crews are available for hire and those with little sailing knowledge should take advantage of this. One great plus of sailing is the ability to moor in a secluded bay somewhere and change the day by doing some diving, fishing or just a good swim. Naturally just stopping for a delicious meal is also an attractive option.

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.

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.

Inexperience need not deter visitors as plenty of official dive instruction courses are run by local firms. Trainees need not worry about spending their entire holiday learning to dive in a tank, as where possible, instruction will take place on secure reef areas like well known 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.
