Power Boat & Cruiser
Motor cruising is all about exploring new places in comfort
without relying on the wind. Equipped with powerful engines,
sleeping berths, a kitchen and many modern home amenities, motor
cruisers are able to travel large distances quickly and have the
capacity to stay on the water for days. The makes them ideal for
entertaining friends, family, discovering new places or adventuring
from country to country. In one day, it is possibble to
leave a marina on the south coast and cruise across the
English Channel to enjoy French cuisine.
Coastal Motor Crusing
Motor cruisers vary greatly in size depending
on the type of cruising that you will be doing. Sport motor
cruisers feature large deck areas and swimming platforms, with
steering controls in the cabin and on the fly bridge; this offers
driving options for sunny and rainy days, while motor yachts tend
to lean toward comfort with large indoor salons, sleeping berths
and other amenities to enhance your enjoyment on a long cruise.
Inland Motor Crusing
This section of the guide deals specifically with coastal motor
cruising. For information on inland motor cruising please see the
