I recently became the owner of a brand new powerboat.
It isn't a massive one with rooms downstairs, just a small one with a cuddy and some seats. It has twin Yamaha engines.
We were moving to live on a small Greek island and it was vitally important that we had a reliable craft as this boat would not only be a leisure vehicle but very much a necessary transport vehicle for us.
Hubby is a qualified powerboat instructor (although not teching over here), son has his PB2 and I am an enthusiastic wearer of a life jacket and saying 'ooh' about things as we zoom about on the water ![]()
I am more at home in the water than on it. But hubby and son like their engines, and also enjoy sailing and we hope to have a sailing boat of some sort soon as well.
We already have an Aquaglide to keep us in practise of jibing etc
I am also hoping to get kayaking soon as well.
So whatever water craft you are interested in, please join the group and we can all share our experiences and have some fun and maybe help each other out as well.
This is a short video clip I took over the side of the ferry from Patras to Kefalonia, on the way back from collecting our new powerboat which we towed back through France and Italy and part of Greece.
