There are some serious perks to living on the west coast of Florida— one of them is having access to the beautiful Gulf of Mexico year-round.

You would think that because I'm a Floridian and I live near the water that I would have a boat. But you'd be wrong.

I would love to buy a boat, but since we just purchased our first home last year, it's something that's going to have to wait a little longer. I'm not missing any time out on the water though, we regularly rent or charter a boat when friends and family visit, or just when we're craving a little family time in the sun.

There really isn't anything like being on the water— it's so peaceful and relaxing. A single day out on the water can feel like a vacation!

You don’t need to own a boat to experience what it’s like to have a vacation at your fingertips. DiscoverBoating.com has an interactive Go Boating Today tool that generates local options for boat rentals, classes, charters and more, by simply entering a city or zip code.

There are so many benefits to boating and, believe it or not, the cost is actually quite minimal (some entry-level boats can be financed for less than $250 a month!). Here are a few fun facts.
