Autumn brings about many changes—even around the water. During the fall season in northern regions, boating and fishing can also be more peaceful and relaxing since there is typically less activity. The changing leaves are a pleasure to view from the water in many places, and it can even be nice to sip on some hot apple cider or pumpkin spice latte to enhance the taste of the season. If cooler weather on the water isn’t your thing, head south to a few hot-spot locations in Florida, such as the Florida Keys, or join our team along with other boating enthusiasts on a MarineMax Getaways!® adventure beyond.

Another beneficial thing to do ahead of the next boating season is prep and prepare for your next great adventures on the water. Although it may sound simplistic enough, this can take planning, especially if you want to make longer trips for multiple days and stops while having enough time to explore destinations on land as well. You’ll want to be sure you have enough time, food, supplies, and fuel while preparing for various weather conditions. Also, to help chart your future course and enhance safety, take some time to download these beneficial boating apps. Additionally, if you’re looking to upgrade your on-the-water ride—with year-end specials and new models hitting the showroom floor, now is the time to do so!
