The Two Best Days in a Boat Owner’s Life

We’ve all heard the saying: “The two best days in a boater’s life are the day you buy it and the day you sell it.” We’re here to tell you that this is true—when you look at it from the right perspective.

This phrase has often been framed with a negative connotation, as if it’s a critique of the boating lifestyle itself. But like most things, it all comes down to how you look at it. From our point of view, this saying isn’t about leaving boating behind. It’s about staying in it.

The First Day: Getting Your Boat

The day you get your boat is the best day of your boating life. It marks a new chapter, a new beginning, and a new adventure. Your boat quickly becomes part of your family—something that brings people together and sets the rhythm for your summers.

You’re already picturing endless sunny days, early mornings on glassy water, sunset rides, and memories you’ll carry with you for years. That excitement is real. It’s pure anticipation, and it’s why that first day is unforgettable.

The Second-Best Day: Passing It On

It’s often said the second-best day is when you sell your boat—and we agree. Not because boating ends, but because something new begins.

Selling your boat gives you the opportunity to step into your next chapter on the water. New technology, new features, new experiences, and even more memories waiting to be made. At the same time, you’re passing along a boat that once gave you unforgettable moments to another family who gets to experience it all for the first time.

That’s how the boating community grows. Each boat continues its story, creating connections between owners, families, and lake lovers who share the same passion for life on the water.

A Lifestyle Worth Continuing

We see boat ownership as one of the best ways to experience summer with the people you love. It’s about time together, shared adventures, and memories that last far beyond the season.
