Why You SHOULD Be Boating!


You get to BROADEN your horizons.

When you go on a boat ride, you have the opportunity to broaden your range of experiences by trying different types of water sports like fishing or water skiing. Learning new boating skills can be an empowering and educational experience. When you go on a boat trip, you will always have the opportunity to learn something new. Having a passion or hobby, such as boating, can contribute to your overall happiness. Plus, boating establishes a feeling of community on the water. Fellow boaters are known for being there to help one another and for offering words of advice.


You can REDUCE your stress level.

There is proof that being near water can naturally help lower anxiety, leading to a healthier and more relaxed lifestyle. Boat trips keep you balanced. How many times have you become so consumed with work or school commitments that you neglected to set aside a day for some fun family boating? Going on a boat ride will help you keep your life in balance between work and play. And with proper use of sunscreen, a day in the sun allows our bodies to soak up a safe amount of Vitamin D. Vitamin D is an important vitamin that one needs in order to survive.


You can give your mind a MUCH-NEED rest from technology.

In this digital age, we are always either sending a text message or checking our email inbox. Stress, insomnia, and depression have been connected to our inability to power down. When you head out for a boat ride, it’s the perfect excuse to unplug, even if it’s just for a few hours. The sense of peace and tranquility that can be restored to you while gently rocking on the waves is undeniable.

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.
