WORLD\u2019S COLLIDE: BOATING & TRAVEL!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BS!-Expedia-Window-Plane\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It seems that boaters and jet-setters are after a lot of the same things – adventure, relaxation, lakes, oceans and just an awesome time with family and friends! So, we couldn’t think of a better partner to work with in our search for the best Caribbean destinations for on-water activities and boating fun! It makes sense: BOATsmart! certifies boaters with their Canadian Boating License<\/a>\u00a0to get them on the water and Expedia gets Canadians in the air with their awesome travel deals! We go together like PB & J.<\/p>\n

TRIP VIBES.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BS!-Expedia-Books\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our destination curiosity is super specific. We want to know where EXACTLY the best spots are to have some fun on the water and do some boating, snorkelling, kayaking, surfing or catamaran partying in the sunny south! But no worries, we’ve taken \u2018trip vibes\u2019 into account! Different strokes for different folks, right?<\/p>\n

I mean, you can lounge in a beach chair for seven days \u00a0(and no offence, if that\u2019s your cup o\u2019 tea!), but these days, the second you step off the plane and the warm air hits your face, you\u2019ll be blitzed with awesome opportunities for on-water fun! As boaters, we think that\u2019s pretty awesome.<\/p>\n

So after doing some research, we found a great vacation spot for families, a place where you can just kick back and relax on vacation and a trip destination where a good party is guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what we discovered:<\/p>\n

1) Best Family Trip Destination: HUATULCO, MEXICO!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BS!-Expedia-Snorkle\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Huatulco offers tourists no less than 9 different bays to explore with gorgeous, calm, clear water – it’s the perfect snorkelling conditions for beginner snorkelers and families with little ones. You can actually spot the tropical fish right off the beach! If your kids are older or you\u2019re feeling adventurous, you\u2019ll have no trouble hiring or renting a boat to explore the coral reefs and secluded beach areas of Huatulco.\u00a0Check out trips to Huatulco by clicking here<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Going south with little ones?<\/p>\n

\"BS!-Expedia-Child-Life-Jacket\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Remember when you\u2019re travelling with little kids<\/a>, they should always wear a life jacket or personal flotation device when they\u2019re splashing around in the pool, ripping around on boogie boards at the beach or just hanging out close to shore. \u00a0Stay close and make sure your wee ones are wearing some kind of \u2018floatie\u2019.<\/p>\n

2) Most Relaxing Trip Destination: ARUBA!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"BS!-Expedia-Catamaran\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This island happens to have the absolute BEST ocean playground for boaters and divers. It\u2019s nothing but clear waters, limestone landscapes, historic shipwrecks, coral reefs and blindingly white beaches for miles. If you\u2019re renting a boat and doing your own cruising, beware the high winds that are common on Aruba\u2019s coastal waters and make sure you have the skills you need by taking the Online BOATsmart! Course<\/a> and getting your Canadian boating license before you go! Check out trips to Aruba by clicking here<\/a>!<\/p>\n
