With December almost halfway over and the holiday season in full swing, there are a few activities that are on everyone’s agenda to celebrate the holiday spirit. For boat owners, the excitement that accompanies holiday boat parades and decking out your vessel with festive colors is in the air. Whether you’re in the parade or simply an observer, maintaining proper safety protocol is of the utmost importance. Besides having a designated skipper, we’ve gathered some helpful advice for enjoying the season while staying safe.
The holidays put us all in a festive mood, and we want to extend the holiday cheer to everyone we know. That said, it’s essential to be mindful of the weight limitations of your vessel. Don’t try to go beyond this capacity, and keep in mind that excess people and decorations can limit visibility, which is important to maintain.
As we just mentioned, maintaining visibility is essential when operating any vehicle, be it a car, truck, or boat. Consider your experience with operating a boat at night and the addition of holiday lights on your vessel changing your visibility. Operating the boat in tandem with the other participants involves remaining alert to obstacles and maintaining proper speed.
Life jackets might not be on your list of things to wear to a party or celebration, but there’s nothing more critical to any boating experience than safety. Make sure there’s enough on board for your guests, and remind them to dress warmly.
"When participating in a night boat parade it is extremely important to pay attention to safe distances between other vessels in the parade, it is advised to use a GPS to know the locations of your channel markers, markers are reflective and some are lighted however they can be very difficult to see. Have fun and boat safe!"
Any experience on a boat should be enjoyable, and so should the holidays. Remember to enjoy yourself and be safe. Savor the moment; this wonderful time only comes around once a year.
Back andumbar support is an important aspect of boat safety. A smooth ride equates to one that causes less stress on your lower extremities. At Seaspension, we got your back. Our custom-made seat pedestals are meant to keep you comfortable and safe as you traverse the seas so stay safe this sea-son.

Whether you’re an experienced mariner or still getting your sea legs, boat show season can provide you with plenty of excitement. Whether you’re in the market for a new boat or you just want to discover the latest and greatest innovations and accessories, there’s much to do. The question is, how do you maximize your time to ensure a rewarding and fulfilling experience? Well, we’re about to find out.
If you’ve ever been on a lengthy aquatic adventure, you probably know the importance of charting a course and estimating distances and durations. Well, a boating show operates on very similar principles. Some research is needed, and planning a proper itinerary will allow you to plan your day without too much fatigue. One important thing to remember is that a major step in being prepared is knowing what to wear—both on your back and on your feet. Depending on the time of year the show takes place, you should dress accordingly. Also, boat shows take place over large areas, so bring adequate footwear. You’ll most likely be doing a lot of walking. Some attendees have attested that finding a place to take a break can be somewhat of a challenge, so plan accordingly.
Depending upon how much you want to cram into a single day or two is up to you. That said, boat shows are an all-day event; from sunup to sundown, there are a variety of activities that take place. Maps and wi-fi are available, and there are usually free classes and family-friendly entertainment to plan the day around. While there are more than enough fun things to enjoy for the entire family during the daytime hours, things really get exciting at nighttime. Some of the best networking and social events happen when the sun goes down, from parties to catered events with cocktails.
While planning ahead and picking which events and booths you want to attend are important, the other part of any boat show is the willingness to be flexible. Buying tickets in advance can save a lot of time from standing in line. Boat shows typically last for a week. And while visiting on the weekday might not be possible, it’s important to remember that the weekend tends to be packed and get busy. It’s a good idea to consider whether you want to drive or take public transportation, as event parking can be quite costly. Some locations have an occupancy limitation, so prioritizing which places at the show you want to visit become a priority.
While you might not think too often about the pedestal holding your boat seat, it’s important to have a smooth ride that puts as little stress on your posture as possible. Seaspension specializes in this area, and we have your back. For more information on us and our products, visit us at seaspension.com.
Many of us have a strong predilection towards the various upgrades we desire to enrich our quality of life. When it comes to owning a boat, the desire to outfit your vessel with the latest and greatest devices and innovations can sometimes be all-consuming. Today, we’ll help you prioritize your wish list of the hottest items to enhance your maritime experience.
Let’s say you go to a boat show and look at all the hot items that have come out this year or are going to be released shortly. Many of them appeal to your desires for the perfect vessel. Some might be costlier than others, and others are desires because of impulse and not a necessity. This is where the question of what you want vs. what you need comes into the equation. This is a difficult distinction to make sometimes, so we’ll go over the process in terms of what your boat might need and what you might want for your boat.
For instance, if you use your boat for pleasure cruising. Items that increase your comfort are something you might want. That said, the most important aspect of such an activity is the mechanical reliability of your vessel when you’re water-bound for lengthy periods of time. Keeping up with maintenance and repair and ensuring that all critical systems are operating correctly should be a priority. Just as important is having the proper safety equipment onboard and having the proper knowledge of how to use it.
Once funds have been allocated towards maintenance, other items such as seating, electronics, and other amenities can be upgraded. Taking care of the basics first and carefully allocating your funds to do so will open up the possibility for more luxurious items in the future. Another important aspect of your boat that you should prioritize is the access and utilization of items that are put in place to increase health benefits. These include first-aid kits, lifejackets, and basic navigation tools that can be utilized in the event of mechanical failures. These include items such as homing beacons, signal flares, and a working VHF radio. At Seaspension, we specialize in boat seat pedestals. This upgrade constitutes safety and comfort by ensuring that your back is properly taken care of when you’re piloting your vessel. Even if you’re not someone who goes full throttle on the ocean waves, proper care of your spinal cord should always be a priority.
No matter what you might use your vessel for, taking proper care of yourself and your vessel is of the highest importance. At Seaspension, we craft seat pedestals that can ensure a smooth ride and enjoyable maritime experience. For more information on us and our products, visit us at seaspension.com.
