Sail through the sunny state of Florida

Make splashes in Florida

A swimming record at 64! Yes, that’s what happened in September 2013 when swimmer Diana Nyad made history. He became the first person to swim the distance from Cuba to Florida (110 miles), and that too without using a shark cage. It took him approximately 53 hours to get to Florida. Florida shores always have great stories of courage!

To get started with navigation

You may not be interested in swimming in the Florida ocean like Diana, but you can still sail on a boat. It’s great if you already have one! If you don’t, you can easily get one. In January this year, the 40th Annual Stuart Boat Show caused a sensation among boat lovers. The show took place at four different locations, including HMY’S Waterway Marina in Florida. More than 500 boats of different sizes and shapes were exhibited, both in and out of the water. It was truly a wonderful weekend gala event for the visitors.

The best places to go boating in Florida:

  • The enormous and fascinating 125 miles stretch from Biscayne National Park to Key West. It is a great place for boaters to navigate smoothly while enjoying the wonderful views.
  • Tampa Bay. It is the largest estuary in Florida and a favorite anchorage for its restaurants and hotels. Another beautiful place to go boating and family outing is Egmont Key.
  • The Costa Smeralda is a place where nature has shed all its beauty and treasures. Visitors can experience great deep sea fishing here. The town in the Destin area is called ‘The Luckiest Fishing Town in the World!

Every year thousands of boaters flock to Florida’s shores for travel, recreation and business purposes. Besides sailing, they go fishing, diving, snorkeling or just having fun sunbathing on the stunning beaches.

Tips for Sailing, Water Sports, and Fishing Safely:

Whether you are sailing for the first time or are an experienced boater, it is important to be smart at sea. Lack of awareness and carelessness can cause setbacks. Here are some tips that can help you:

  • Avoid taking unnecessary risks and practice safe browsing. Don’t stray too far and keep a safe distance from other boaters, fishermen, and divers. It is the best way to avoid collisions.
  • Try to use reef mooring buoys if possible. Or, anchor only in sandy areas so you can stay away from corals and seagrasses; These can become entangled with the anchor and chain.
  • Operate your boat at low speed, especially in dive areas.

You may want to have all the exciting experiences on your boat or you may need one for business use. Buying a new boat can be expensive. You can look for more affordable options on reputable auto auction websites. It’s an easy and convenient registration, choice, and bidding process. These sites sell rescue boats that were damaged due to storms, collisions, or other reasons, and can be repaired to sail again. So get ready to take a dip!
