As the weather gets cooler, boating on a Monterey takes on a whole new meaning. While the summer is the most popular time to spend a day on the water, the fall has just as much to offer. Here are just a few reasons why the fall months are a great time for boating.

Cozy Weather

The summer heat can sometimes be overwhelming, even while catching the breeze on your boat or taking a dip in a lake or the ocean. Fall can bring some phenomenal weather that is just too good to pass up. With the temperature at this time ranging from 60 *F to 75*F, an afternoon boat ride just got all the more comfortable. You won’t have to worry anymore about sweltering heat or whether it is going to rain or not. Night rides at this time of year also allow you not to have to worry about any pesky mosquitoes, while you also wear your favorite sweater for a nice and chilly cruise.

Smaller Crowds

Fewer people are taking their boats out during the fall, but all that means is more room on the water for you and your crew! What once was a busy day during the summer turns into a calm and scenic outing that all ages would enjoy. Setting off on the open water is just one of the things you have more room to do with less people around. Even many of the prime anchoring spots are freed up, letting you enjoy your favorite activities in the most efficient spots without the fear of being disturbed.

Beautiful Scenery

When you think of fall, you think blue skies, nature, the calmness of it all, and it is no different when out on a Monterey during this time. With clearer skies, you are more prone to see beautiful sunsets and sunrises reflecting onto the water, which creates an amazing view that is sure to take your breath away. If you’re traveling near the shoreline, keep an eye out for any critters, birds, or fish that are making themselves known due to the weather. Lastly, take some photos. It, of course, is important to be in the moment during these amazing scenes, but taking just a few photos ensures this moment lasts a lifetime.

Taking the boat out is such a great pleasure that should be enjoyed at any time of year. Monterey has a wide range of vessels that are built for these prime boating experiences. Just because the seasons change doesn’t mean your time spent on the water has to. Each season has its merits as to why it is good for boating, and fall shouldn’t be underrated, so get out there with your Monterey and enjoy all this time of year has to offer, on the water.
