Camp It Up
Check out our tips for making the most of your next sandy sleep-away, and plan on having s'more fun!
Beach camping is a novel way to take advantage of your Boston Whaler's unique capabilities. A Whaler lets you reach more remote campsites than you could by car, and often have them all to yourselves. You’ll fall asleep under the stars, lulled by the sound of water lapping against the shore. Keep in mind that boat camping presents a few unique challenges, but with some smart planning, it’s sure to be an excellent adventure.
Gear Up for Safety— You’ll be spending a lot of time outside, and relying on your own preparation, so pack accordingly: Bring plenty of sunscreen, a warm change of clothes, a fire starter, and a first-ait kit.
Find Shelter — Think about where you’ll sleep. If you’re using a tent, consider a compact backpacking-style model that will stow easily on your Whaler. Don’t forgo plenty of bedding, though — the wee hours can get chilly!
Meal Plans — Certain foods fare much better than others at a campsite. Do the bulk of your meal prep before packing, including items that can easily be reheated rather than cooked from scratch.
Water Wisdom — Make sure to bring lots of fresh water. Pack as much as you think you’ll consume, and then pack more. Your onboard coolers should be full of ice and bottled water.
Get an Early Start — Afternoon thunderstorms are common in many areas in the summer. It’s a smart idea to be at your campsite and set up early, so you can relax and enjoy yourself the rest of the day.
Leave No Trace — It’s simple: Pack out what you pack in — and if your Whaler doesn’t have a head, please dig a hole! Leave the beach as pristine as you found it, so the next merry band of boat campers can enjoy it too.
