In You Don't Have a Boat:
Overview
Overview
If you want to get out BTB, there aren't a lot of alternatives to using a guide or owning a vessel. Here's the most comprehensive list we could come up with.
If you have an alternative, and would like to be listed, please contact us with your particulars...
Boat Rentals (BTB-Capable)
Renting a boat is one way to get out BTB. However, it is important to find a boat that is suitably equipped. Here are rental agencies that offer BTB-capable boats:
Seaforth Sportfishing not only runs party boats, they also offer rentals boats (of all types, not just fishing boats). They are one of the few rental agencies which offer boats capable of going BTB.
San Diego Area
Seaforth Boat Rentals (Mission Bay, San Diego) (website:http://www.seaforthboatrental.com)Seaforth Sportfishing not only runs party boats, they also offer rentals boats (of all types, not just fishing boats). They are one of the few rental agencies which offer boats capable of going BTB.
Boat Time-Shares
Buying-in to a boat time-share is another way to get out BTB. Because time-shares typically involve larger boats, they're probably not a good bet for a rank beginner. However, if you have some experience with larger boats, they offer a good way to get access to a truly BTB-capable boat, without the cost of owning.
Unfortunately, the only offshore-capable boat time-share we knew about - Outer Banks Boat Club - shut its doors a couple of seasons ago, due to the economic downturn. No replacements yet...
