Most Dangerous Inlets in the United States for Boaters

1 week ago | boatingmag.com | Kevin Falvey

The title of my article makes a bold statement. I'm basing it on the US Coast Guard requirements for establishing what's called a Surf Station. Surf Stations are required at locations where surf runs 8 feet or higher for more than 10 percent-that's 36 days-of the year. That's a real 8 feet measured by wave gauges and with lidar, not the 4-foot waves that some social-media sailors might call 8-footers.

2 weeks ago | boatingmag.com | Pete McDonald

The name Jet Ski is synonymous with PWCs the way Kleenex is with tissues or Xerox with copy machines. Now, with the introduction of its Jet Ski Ultra 160LX-S Angler, Kawasaki is converting its personal-watercraft platform into a dynamic-yet affordable-fishing machine. This platform provides the anytime, anywhere versatility of a PWC while also creating a stable fishing boat with the tools an angler needs to chase fish.

"The idea came from a historical race called Albany to NY Marathon that started in the late 1920's," says Tim Sharkey, referring to a generations-old boat race down the Hudson River from the New York State capital of Albany to New York City's New York Harbor boat race on the Hudson River.

Sunglass Lens Color Comparison

3 weeks ago | boatingmag.com | Pete McDonald

No matter what type of boater you are, you should consider a quality pair of polarized sunglasses to be essential safety gear. Not just for how they reduce glare, but for how they protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays as well. Sunglasses-makers now offer myriad lens colors to choose from, but you shouldn't pick based only on style. The different lens colors provide different benefits depending on how and where you boat.
Installing a Lighted VHF Antenna

3 weeks ago | boatingmag.com | Jim Hendricks

Marine VHF antennas have not changed much since VHF radios were adopted by recreational boaters in the 1960s. We have seen improved durability and materials, optimized transmission and reception range, and enhanced mounting systems. Yet, the function of a VHF antenna has remained much the same-until now. Shakespeare Marine, a long-established leader in marine antennas, has reimagined what a VHF antenna can be with the new CommLight.
2025 Pursuit S 328 Sport Boat Test, Pricing, Specs

3 weeks ago | boatingmag.com | Chris Caswell

OverviewOn our outing aboard the newly revamped Pursuit S 328 Sport, I realized why Pursuit is the perfect name for this builder. Fishermen are always in pursuit, but the conditions, well, they're not always perfect. This applies equally to boaters simply seeking to head home after a day at the beach or a weekend up the coast. In fact, conditions can be downright crappy, as we discovered after leaving the dock.
