Having fun boating with your family can be as easy as having a dinghy, kayak, or other small boat for use on water near you.
Building your own boat can be a rewarding family project. Bruce tells of he and his Dad covering an old wood frame kayak with new canvas. He remembers hours of enjoyment paddling the completed boat on a lake.
I found step by step plans for building a 16' Grand Banks Dory. Check out Dory Plans

B.C.'s Family Fishing - Father's Day Idea
An idea for spending family time together on Father's Day for Canadians is to take part in B.C.'s Family Fishing Weekend.
The event is now a family tradition for us and a great way to introduce your children or grandchildren to fishing.

Gift Basket Ideas for a Boating Family
For the boating family on your list a gift basket can be created to include everyone.
A variety of containers can be used to hold gifts such as a cooler, duffel bag, backpack or a folding cart.
Card games, board games, audio tapes, personalized t-shirts, CD, DVD, are gifts to consider for the boating family. A gift certificate for a restaurant in their boating area could be included. Books on activities or places to visit in their area can help a family plan their next boating vacation.

Family Boating
Boating together as a family is an excellent way to connect with each other, enjoy nature, and get some exercise.
When taking your family on board, assign everyone a job. There will be a captain, first mate, galley cook, boat cleaner, etc. A book with the duties of each position is useful so the "crew" can refer to it if needed.
Choose a destination with a variety of activities to give everyone an opportunity to enjoy some time away from the boat.

Boating as a family is a great way to have fun together.
There are coves and marine parks to explore in B.C.'s Gulf Islands only accessible by boat. Fishing, observing marine life, having a picnic on board, or staying overnight are a few activities for families to enjoy.
