With summer on the way, you may be looking forward to enjoying some time on the water. If you plan to head out on the water on a regular basis, it may be cheaper to purchase rather than rent the vessel you plan to use. Below is a guide to 3 types of vessel you can purchase this summer.

Kayak

A kayak is a type of canoe which provides the ideal way for you and your family to explore the water. Kayaks are available in a range of sizes, which means you can be certain you will be able to find one which is the correct size for your needs. If you are in a pair, you can even invest in a two-person kayak. Depending on the type of kayak you choose, you will either sit with your body tucked into the body of the vessel or you will sit on top of the plastic hull. However, you should check if the kayak you are planning to purchase is suitable before taking it out on the ocean as not all kayaks are designed for use on the sea.

Jet Ski

A jet ski is a great choice for all of the thrill seekers out there. These are very small vessels which have a powerful engine. This allows them to accelerate at great speed. The small size means that you can quickly change direction and perform turns while out on the waves. However, because of their power, if you are not familiar with how to operate one of these machines, you should sign up for lessons before going solo. Failure to do so could place your life and the life of other people at risk.

Small boat

A small boat is designed to carry multiple people on an extended trip and may have a cabin which features a small kitchen, a table and toilet. A small boat is ideal if you wish to spend some time out on a lake with your family. The deck of a small boat is ideal for sunbathing, fishing and relaxing on. You should make sure you are fully competent and have knowledge of basic sailing skills before you captain a small boat. If you do not feel confident, you should hire a skipper for your small boat.
