4 out of 5 stars Boating Adventures and Buying Advice   September 16, 2006
Bryan Carey (Houston, TX)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful

Boating Life is a publication about boating adventure and recreation and it dedicates most of its pages to boating enjoyment, product reviews, equipment reviews, and general advice. In many ways, this magazine is like a buying guide for boats. Not only does it contain many pages of product reviews, it also includes many featured articles that focus on the specifics of different boats (speed capability, length, miles per gallon, etc.), making it a good choice for reading material for those who are in the market for a new boat.

Besides acting as a selling agent, Boating Life is also a magazine about adventure and it is common to find articles about specific bodies of water and how best to enjoy them; tales of long adventures on large lakes; and popular events around the nation where the best views are often those from a small water- going vessel. These rank among my favorite articles in each issue because they are more personal in nature and they get your imagination running.

One thing I like and respect about Boating Life is that, unlike many other boating magazines, it keeps things on a realistic level. That is, it doesn't devote the majority of its pages to boats that only the rich can afford to buy. It offers reviews and advice on a wide range of boats, from an inexpensive fishing boat designed for two to a large expensive yacht that can hold ten or more guests. I don't mind reading about these more expensive boats from time to time, but they are more fantasy than anything. With Boating Life, there are many pages of ordinary boats that anyone can afford.

Boating Life is a nice magazine overall and it makes a good choice for people who are in the market for a new boat or for those who already own a boat and want some advice on how best to maintain them and how best to enjoy them. Boating Life offers good reviews and facts about specific boats and, along with the adventure articles, it makes a good choice of magazine for the boating enthusiast.
