Explore A Different Kind Of Holiday With Boat Rentals In Bermuda

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.

Many an angler will recall the way the body reacts and the adrenal rush to the thrill of a massive fish on the hook of their fishing tackle. People who only fish occasionally will testify as to how their time fishing the ocean became the top point of their holidays. With some excellent fishing close to shore, sailing times of only 45 minutes are common. From an enormous aquatic population, tuna, wahoo and marlin seem to attract anglers with their mystery and reportedly are the most challenging. Safety is as important as a good catch so the reputation of a charter service is important.

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.

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.

Diving is another activity for which the islands have become renowned. Snorkeling and scuba-diving are major attractions. Sunken ships and abundant reefs bring delighted divers back to locations such as South West Breaker year after year. Often described as a natural aquarium such is the density of sea life, divers have recounted stories of barracudas in such volumes as to have blocked out light from the sun. As ever with diving observing safe practice are the key words.

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.

Renting boats opens up a whole new kind of holiday experience and the activities mentioned only scratch the surface. Add to these the immensely popular water skiing, board sports, kayaking, for even more vacation adventures.
