Fall is a beautiful season for boating! While the summer boating season may be wrapping up, there are so many reasons why you should extend your boating season. We came up with a list of 5 reasons why you should enjoy fall boating:

1. The perfect way to enjoy the beautiful fall colours 
2. The thrill of fall fishing 
3. Enjoy different activities than you would in the summer 
4. There’s less on-water traffic 
5. Get more use out of your boat!

 

The Perfect Way to Enjoy the Beautiful Fall Colours 

There’s no better way to admire the beautiful fall colours than from the comfort of your Legend Boat! 

Your boat is the perfect vessel to immerse yourself in the beauty of the fall season. Fall boating is the perfect way to spot wildlife, and enjoy the tranquillity of quiet waters. 

The Thrill of Fall Fishing 

Every angler will tell you: that there’s just something about fall fishing that’s exciting! 

The cool fall weather will give you opportunities to try out new techniques, and really hone your angling skills. Fish are likely to make their way to warmer water, so you might have to be more intentional with your approach than you are in the warm summer months. This is a great opportunity to research new techniques, or learn how to get the most out of your tools and gear. 

In the middle of summer, you can expect there to be traffic on the water, no matter what time of day you’re out. In the fall, most people resume their regular work schedules, so you can expect fewer people to be on the water. This means that you can get first dibs on the best fishing spots, and fish without having to worry about sharing the water with too many other anglers. 

 

Enjoy Different Activities 

During the Summer, it’s easy to get caught in the thrill. Tubing, water skiing, wakeboarding, and treating your boat as your own personal floating dock to jump into the water from are all must-do activities for many boaters. As the weather cools down, this is the perfect opportunity to use your time on the water to relax. Curl up with a blanket and a good book, or enjoy a hot coffee with your friends. 

Learn a new skill while you’re enjoying the freedom of being on the water. This is a picturesque time of year, and perfect for learning about photography! You’ll never run out of beautiful scenery, so it’s the perfect time to become a shutterbug for the season. 

As they’re gearing up for the winter, the wildlife is always active in the fall. When you’re out on the water, you have the perfect opportunity to spot wildlife from a safe distance. 

With the sun setting earlier, you can take up stargazing from your boat. With minimal light pollution, this is the perfect time to take in the beautiful view. 

There’s so much to explore with your boat! Don’t limit your sense of adventure to the warm months. 

Less On-Water Traffic 

With the kids back in school and the weather cooling down, there’s less traffic on the water. While there are some obvious benefits like additional safety due to fewer hazards, there are a few more that you may not have considered. 

Things like watersports are slowing down, so this means that you can enjoy serenity all day long – not just at the break of dawn. Cut your engine, and enjoy what nature has to offer, with fewer disruptions than you would experience during the summer months. 

With less on-water traffic, you have the freedom to explore more areas of the lake during your fall boating adventures. Plus, you can enjoy the benefit of more dock space, so you don’t have to feel rushed at the beginning or end of your day. 

Get More Use out of Your Boat!

Who says you should only use your boat during the hot summer months? At Legend Boats, we believe that “boating season” is any time you want it to be (so long as your preferred lake isn’t frozen over)! 

This is the perfect opportunity for your family to create even more lasting memories, and build upon new traditions. Whether you’re trying out fall fishing for the very first time or playing board games together on your boat, there are so many activities to choose from. Plus, even if everyone’s doing something a little different, at least it’s still a reason for the whole family to be together. 

Your boat is an investment and a tool to help you create memories with your favourite people! There’s no need to place restrictions on yourself and limit your time on the water. We have many months of open water, so why let that go to waste? 

 

Don’t Play by the Rules! 

Don’t listen to the naysayers who think that the boating season ends when school starts! In fact, boating is the perfect way to wind down after a long day or week. Studies show that spending time on the water is beneficial for your mental and physical well-being. 

The fall is also a great time to reconnect with nature. The cooler weather makes being outside more welcoming for some. Shut off your engine, drop your anchor, and surround yourself with all of the sounds of nature. You’re sure to see or hear something that you might miss during the excitement of summertime activities. 

Here’s to a fall of not playing by the rules, creating memories, and making the most of the open water!
