Features Of Bowrider Boats

The layout of a bowrider is what sets these boats apart. The bow, just ahead of the helm, offers extra seating. Passengers are able to sit in the front of the boat, soaking up the sunshine and stunning views. It's a great way to spend a summer afternoon!

These models are designed with sunny voyages in mind. They don't offer a cabin or a roof, so you won't be protected from heavy wind or rain. If the weather is going to be unpleasant, it's best to stay onshore rather than take your bowrider out. 

Most bowriders will run off of a sterndrive or outboard engine. Some models are meant for lower speeds. Others are crafted with high-speed trips in mind.

Ways To Use Bowrider Boats

The most common use of bowrider boats is leisurely cruising around the waterways. The abundance of seating is perfect for hosting large groups of people - sometimes up to ten passengers. Invite your friends over for a day on the water. Take your family visiting from out of town on a boat tour of the area. Everyone will love the boat ride!

Some bowriders come with high powered engines. They can reach higher speeds and can provide a thrilling ride for powersports enthusiasts. You'll be able to tow wakeboarders, water skiers, and more. You can even tow your kids and their friends on inner tubes.

However you enjoy using a bowrider, it's best to seek out calmer waters. Bowriders tend to be under 35' in length and not equipped to handle rough seas or weather.
