Smooth Ride

Simple tips to give passengers the best boating experience

 

A harsh, bumpy ride on a boat is never going to be an enjoyable experience. The boat can be furnished with the most luxury appointments, but if the ride is shaking the contents out of the cocktail glass in your hand, it’s just no fun at all.

Skippers often tend to forget that they have their feet planted firmly on the ground while holding and being braced by the wheel. Small to mid-sized boats are always going to be susceptible to movement during wave and swell action, that’s a given. So, are there methods to keep the patrons and crew on your boat happy by minimising the bumpy ride?
