Boating is a fun outdoor sport for the whole family, and, with all of the pristine lakes in Alabama, there are tons of opportunities for family fun on the water. From skiing or wake boarding to tubing, loads of families live it up on our waters in ski boats and powerboats. If you like even more excitement, personal watercraft (like Jet Skis) are sure to make a big splash with the family. Or, if you like to take it easy, enjoy the company of your family on a pontoon boat as you cruise the lake. Take it easy or take it to the limit. It's all up to you.

Alabama is also, surprisingly, a great place to sail. Take a catamaran or a sunfish across one of our 47 sun-kissed reservoirs all larger than 500 acres in size. Feel the experience of riding the waters by harnessing the power of the wind. It's an exciting, yet peaceful, way to enjoy nature.

Whatever type of boating you enjoy, you're likely to find a boat landing or slip that will lead you to your choice of fun on the water. For more information, take a look at the boating section of the outdooralabama.com Web site.
