Thinking about the summer and how great it is to be out on the water? Maybe it’s high time you bought a boat. Boats make all types of marine recreation possible, from cruising with your family on a sunny day to fishing with some of your best angling buddies. You’ll find boats in all shapes and sizes to suit all budgets, so there’s something for everyone.

RVs and Boats for Less in Chubbuck, Idaho, is your Gem State boat dealer. We’ve come up with some great reasons why you should own a boat in case you’re still on the fence.

Build Memories

Parents and members of large families or big groups of friends can make use of a boat as a means to create memories with their loved ones. You can easily plan trips with your family and friends, whether that means taking the kids out to teach them about navigation or gathering some friends together for some refreshments and casual conversation on the water. Boating allows you to expand your own and your family’s horizons and it’s sure to create fond memories for your kids when they grow up!

Reduce Stress

Modern life is stressful—there’s no question about that. If you’re trying to find a way to reduce your stress levels, why not invest in a boat? Going out on the water by yourself or with a few friends is a great way to unplug from phones and traffic jams and everything else that you have to deal with on a daily basis. Take an afternoon to go boating and watch the sunset or swim or catch some fish and you’ll be refreshed and ready to take on the week when you return.

Meet New People

Looking to make some new friends? Boating is an excellent way to socialize! When you own a boat, your world will open up to new experiences and new people at the marinas and harbors you visit. You can even join local boating groups to plan voyages with others and swap maintenance tips. And if you take longer journeys in your boat to other states or even up to Canada or down to Mexico, then you’re going to meet even more new people from other cultures.

Explore Nature

In the United States, most people live within an hour’s drive of a body of water that they can boat in. You can’t take advantage of this fact without a boat, though! Here in Chubbuck, we’ve got the American Falls Reservoir nearby, along with the acclaimed Snake River, so you’ve definitely got options in the area. You’ll be able to view all sorts of trees, flowers, fish, birds and other types of wildlife. In some cases, you can even get up closer with a boat!

Cultivate New Skills

If you don’t own a boat, then there are so many skills you’ll never have the opportunity to learn. Boating can open up your world to a host of new hobbies and practical skills. Some of these include fishing and watersports, and there are several types of both of these activities to learn. You’ll even learn a lot about your boat itself, from how to navigate the waters to tying sailor’s knots to using a compass.
