Before you hit the water, you should make sure the watercraft you are using is the right one for you and your adventure.

There are a lot of similarities and differences between larger watercraft, such as power boats, and smaller watercraft, such as SUPs, kayaks, canoes and PWCs.

For instance, a large boat is more stable in the water but it can’t turn as quickly as a personal watercraft (PWC) can. However, the maneuverability of a PWC can cause them to tip more easily than a boat. Knowing and being aware of these differences can better prepare you for a safe day on the water.

Join Adventure Team members Zach and Charlie as they learn about what makes large and small watercraft different, what things they have in common and how to choose the best craft for your water adventure!
