New Year’s Resolutions: 5 Tips for Better Boating in 2021

Do you love being out on the lake?

It’s truly hard to beat. Wind in your hair. Friends and family. Music. Riding the waves. We truly can’t get enough!

As we look forward to 2021, we’ve been thinking about how much we love boating (and we know you do too!), but we want to do it even better! Our team at Buxton Marine – home of the top Nautique boats and accessories like Nautique boat covers near me - offers 5 tips on how to make boating even more fun in 2021:

 

1.     Take a Boating Course

Okay, we know. This sounds boring. But it doesn’t have to be! Did you know that many national boating organizations offer online and hands-on training courses that you can use to your advantage? Many of these courses home in on certain aspects of boat ownership, allowing you to truly dig in and understand and appreciate your boat more than ever. Look into course offerings from organizations like BoatUS, the National Safe Boating Council, or even your local boat club. 

2.     Learn a New Watersport or Skill 

Have you been watching those guys out there wakesurfing but just can’t seem to get the hang of it? Or maybe you want to learn a new wakeboarding jump? This is your year! Set a goal to learn a new watersport or skill, and it will make your time on the water not only more meaningful – but more fun! 

3.     Buy Some Fun New Accessories

Just like we like to upgrade our vehicles or add some new décor to our homes, adding new accessories to your Nautique is a great way to have more fun out on the lake. At Buxton Marine, our parts and service department work hand-in-hand to order upgraded parts for you and get them installed seamlessly! If new toys are more your style, come check out our pro shop, full of the season’s latest boards, tubes, and more. Also note: it’s a good time to go ahead and check out last year’s life jackets, ropes, and Nautique boat covers near me to make sure everything is still in great working order.

4.      Invite New Friends on the Lake

 Everyone wants to know someone with a boat! While we often invite the same friends over and over, make a resolution to invite 3 new families/friends/couples out on the lake with you. This change of pace can be fun, and you may even learn your friends have a few watersports skills you didn’t know they had!

5.     Use Your Boat More

You know what makes boating more fun: more time on the lake! Nautique is the #1 wakeboard boat on the market because it’s powerful, intuitive, and fun to drive. The more you use your boat, the more you will be making memories that last a lifetime in 2021. 

As always, if you need anything, Buxton Marine is here for you! As the top Nautique dealer in the country, we have all the gear, accessories like Nautique boat covers near me, and beautiful new Nautique models to make 2021 the best year out on the lake yet. 

 

Good times ahead!
