Fishing & Boating

Whether ocean, bay, or lake, a day on the water can bring your endorphins to an all-time high. So imagine an entire vacation centered around the water. You might be feeling adventurous and ready to head far out into the ocean with a charter of anglers. Or you might enjoy the thrill of zipping along the bay on a speedboat or JetSki. Or maybe casually floating on a laid-back pontoon boat on the lake, where you’re guaranteed to see the shore the entire time, is more your speed. Whether fast-paced or slow, heading out on a boat during your vacation is one way to guarantee scenic views and tons of fun.

Fishing from the beach is a relaxing pastime, but speeding out into the deep blue sea to reach a destination miles from shore is an unforgettable experience. Reserve a deep-sea fishing charter to spend the day surrounded by nothing but the ocean. Bait and tackle to catch sunfish, sailfish, marlin, tuna, or snapper. While patiently waiting for your first bite, be on the lookout for wildlife surfacing from the deep waters, like dolphins, porpoises, and whales. The best deep-sea fishing destinations guarantee a rewarding experience.

While deep-sea fishing in the ocean is an angler‘s dream, freshwater fishing is for everyone. No need for a long boat ride to get to your fishing destination. You really don’t even need to get on the boat, if you’re the type to get seasick. You can fish right from the shore. No fancy fishing charters required either. You can cast a line right from your boat, kayak, or canoe. And while you fish, you can enjoy the natural beauty that surrounds you, whether that be rugged mountains, lush forests, steep cliffs, or sandy shorelines.

If you want to be in the center of the action, plan a day of fly-fishing. Slip on your waders, secure your lightweight fly, and trudge into the water. It can be quite the challenge to make your way over slippery rocks in a strong current, find your footing, and sturdily balance while you cast your line. But the exhilaration of being right in the river and the invigorating feeling when you reel in your catch is worth the effort. Plus, your spot right in the river affords up close and personal views of wildlife, from osprey and eagles to deer and bears.
