Lots of good stuff in this month’s BoatUS magazine, including a piece about P2P (peer to peer) boat rentals.
I don’t think I can wrap my brain around renting my own boat, but I do think it can work for some folks as long as they mitigate the risks with appropriate insurance coverage. In any case, if this is a way to get more people out on the water and potentially turn them into boat owners themselves then I’m all for it.
