Dave Jay Advice for out of towner

I live in Palm Beach County and am embarrassed to say I've never taken my PWC to Broward. Renting a house on a navigable canal end of this month in Oakland Park and have friends coming from out of town. The owner of the home said the two closest boat ramps are Cherry Creek and Colohatchee. Two questions: 1) For those with experience at both, is one better than the other?; 2) Any suggestions on where to head after dropping in? Any sandbars to hang out at, fun spots, etc. Thanks in advance! Continue

Captain Jonas Plenty of Water Fun and Enjoyment

Towables and Inflatables: Plenty of Water Fun and Enjoyment

It is rare to go to the lake or beach without seeing people laughing and having loads of fun riding on towables being pulled behind the boat. Water sport enthusiasts also enjoy other products that are stationery rather than towed, but either way one thing is for sure: Those folks are having fun! … Continue

A number of laws come into play for water sporting in Florida. Like every other state, Florida, too, regulates major water sports like diving, skiing and hunting.

Amy Lee Boat Trailer Dangers

Ride down most any street along the Florida coastline and you’re going to see lots and lots of boats being pulled to and from the water by all types of vehicles. Look a little closer and you’ll see many of them not hooked up correctly. Apparently, there are many people out there who don’t realize just how vital it is for that boat trailer to be properly hooked to the vehicle. I’ve seem them with the latch up and the chains that are designed as a safety precaution wrapped around the end of the t… Continue

Amy Lee Friday the 13th

Do any of you boaters believe the superstitions around Friday the 13th? I have a boater friend who will not go out on the waters on this day at all! He's convinced something bad would happen if he did. I hear there are superstitions about this day in all areas of the world and society but I know many boaters to be more superstitious than your average Joe. Is there really anything different about today or any more danger to getting on the waters? It's a sunny but cool day and I'm thinking I'm g… Continue

Amy Lee Choosing Florida Boat Insurance

If you have your own boat, you’re going to need insurance for it and there is a wealth of companies trying to sell you some. My dad taught me when I was still a girl how important boat insurance was but it’s unfortunate most people don’t get taught how to find a good boat insurance company. Know this: all boat insurance companies are not the same. Don’t just go with the first insurance company to come your way and remember that you don’t have to be locked into one offered by the company when y… Continue

BoatBroward.com What is a Blog? Please read this before posting a new blog..

There appears to be some confusion on the difference between forum / discussions and blogs. In general, a forum/discussion is intended for two way conversations and/or questions and a blog can be thought of as more of a one way journal that can be commented on. A blog (short for weblog) is a personal online journal that is frequently updated and intended for general public consumption. They are usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or ot… Continue

Not a problem. And yes, idle speed through the back canals takes about an hour to get to the intracoastal from either of those ramps. 15th st your less then 5 minutes from the ocean, and John U Lloyd, your 3 minutes from the ocean.
