Yep, that’s right. Rent a houseboat even though you already own a boat. Take it along, too. Houseboat rentals are common and very popular on large impoundments where overnight stays can last weeks at the time. And what better way to extend your boating season and viewing the fall colors than with a fall vacation aboard a houseboat? Tow your own boat along for the fun. If your rig is a fishing boat, then make home base aboard the houseboat. From there, you can untie the lines and take off for hours of fishing fun on unpressured waters.
There you have it—a start to your fun-filled list of fall boating activities.
Just heed these words of caution. The chill in the air might be welcome, but not so much in the water. Take the necessary safety precautions during cool weather boating trips. Dress warmly in layers. On chilly mornings, watch your steps on frost-glazed marina walkways. Avoid needlessly splashing your passengers with chilly water when crossing windy lakes. And be sure to back off the throttle.
Otherwise, you might miss the sights, sounds and smells that awaken the senses during a season of fall boating!
