Day Cruisers

Popularity of boats suitable for day cruises is growing

The popularity of day cruisers has grown as day cruising is becoming more popular: many people do not necessarily want to spend the night on their boats, preferring instead to spend a day at their destination and return home in the evening. Similarly, many people do not want to spend their entire summer holiday boating but would rather go out in their boats whenever the weather is nice or they get the inspiration. The most popular size of day cruisers is 6–7 metres. The small cabin is often used as dry storage space with a door to protect items from the rain. For families, having a protective cabin where the kids can take naps is also important. Typical buyers of day cruisers include young families, for whom it is often their first boat, as well as older boaters who are retiring from long-distance boating and want a smaller boat or who are rediscovering boating.
