Rent a boat in New York and take advantage of watching a stunning sunset to the background of the NYC skyline or even sleep on board and take a late-night cruise to admire the twinkling city lights from the water.

South Lake Tahoe

Have the best of both worlds and head to a moutain and lake getaway. Rent a boat in South Lake Tahoe and sail to the middle of the lake to cherish the 360° view of the shoreline and opposing mountains in the background. Sailing in Lake Tahoe is unique. It is quiet and it allows you to get in touch with nature. However, if you are looking for a thrilling adventure with your partner, rent a jet ski and explore the different parts of the lake like the remarkable Emerald Bay.

Boston

For history lovers, Boston is surely the ideal romantic destination. While many choose to walk hand-in-hand in this romantic city, opt for something a bit more exciting like a boat rental in Boston instead.

End the day with our loved one perhaps picnicking aboard and watching the sun set on the beautiful Boston skyline.

Miami

Miami is our most exciting romantic destination choice. With a boat rental in Miami, spend a charming day boating in the area, perhaps enjoy company at a few sandbars like Elliot Key or Nixon’s Sandbar in Key Biscayne or relax just the two of you in the Florida sunshine.
