We love yachting in Canada!

Yachting is a way of spending time that many people have come to love. They desire to go out there and sail whenever it is possible. Some do it to compete. Sailing is a sport and a very popular one for that matter. However, most people do not aim to win anything while being on the yacht. They just want to enjoy themselves and get happiness from doing what they love. Of course a boat is expensive, but you do not have to buy one if you want to do a bit of sailing. You can always rent a yacht. If you want to start your journey with sailing it doesn’t have to be a luxury yacht charter. A simple boat is all you need at the begging. The fact that you do not have a huge fancy yacht for deep-sea expeditions does not mean you don’t have to prepare. It is good to take a sailing course at first.

Regardless whether you do that or not your first trip should be with someone who is an experienced sailor. That does not mean that he or she has to own a boat. Someone who has rented a yacht a couple of times is fine. Remember to prepare for every weather. It does not matter if you think that it will not rain or that it is really hot. Always bring warm cloths, rain gear and items that you will need in hard conditions. You might not use them the first time. Maybe not even the tenth time, but trust me the time will come and you better be prepared. It does not matter how good we got at using the nature to our advantage and pleasure. It is an incredible power that always needs to be respected. Bringing a knife is actually also a very good idea. You will be surprised how useful a knife can be on the yacht. All those tips can be applied in any part of the world, but of course apply to Canada too.

So you and your friend rent a boat and go for an adventure. You can obviously go for the ocean but that is a bit hard-core. There is a fair amount of lakes and rivers that you can explore at first. Choosing the one near your is probably a good idea. It does not have to be huge or with extremely hard parts. You do not need that to enjoy sailing. The beautiful thing about yachting is that it brings different experiences with different weather and they all can be a lot of fun. If the wind is strong and then you will be satisfied with the speed and fighting the nature. If it is sunny and not that windy you can just relax, and quite down your nerves. Both options are perfect, believe me. When it comes to places that are good visit when you get more in to sailing it is definitely Vancouver but also Powell River, the Vancouver island, Sidney and Victoria. All those places are very well known in the sailing community and definitely can provide a ton of sailing experiences. All of those places are prepared for people who want to spend their time on a boat and it is not a problem to rent a yacht there. The prizes are not the lowest of course but you can always sail from another place to those locations can’t you? Regardless of where you go and how big your boat will be do not forget what is the main point of your journey, and it should always be fun.
