The Pop team has deep boating industry experience, especially when it comes to planning exciting family excursions. "Family boating is hugely popular around the Pop office, and our experienced team is ready to share their tips and secrets". "According to Pop CEO Mike Adams, one of the company's core values is creating memorable experiences for customers. "My four kids, while all adults now, still talk about our boat trip to the Virgin Islands," said Adams. "It was incredibly memorable, and not just for my kids. Seeing the sheer joy on their faces will stay with me forever."The Pop team assembled some tips for family fun on your boat, and how to ensure that everyone has a great time while staying safe.Passenger safety is a great start to planning a family outing. Make sure everyone onboard is wearing a properly fitting life jacket. It's not overly complex. Children should always wear life jackets while on the water, even if they are strong swimmers. It is also important to make sure that everyone knows how to swim, and that children are always supervised.Being prepared for hungry and thirsty family and friends is another tip. Before heading out on the water, make sure to pack plenty of snacks, water, and sunscreen. It's also a good idea to bring along games, books, and other activities to keep children entertained.Boating is a great opportunity to fish, and many families enjoy teaching their children how to fish. If your boat is equipped with a water slide or a swimming platform, kids will splash around all day. Another fun activity is to have a picnic on the boat, and if you're in a calm water area, you can even anchor the boat and have a swim.Adams added the role of planning and research before starting any trip. "Many marinas and waterfront restaurants offer playgrounds, swimming pools, and other activities that are perfect for families.," said Adams. "Knowing where to find food and fun along the journey makes for many happy passengers. Additionally, many lakes and rivers have beaches and water parks that are ideal for swimming and playing in the water. It is also a good idea to research and plan for any activities or sights that your family might enjoy, such as visiting an island, lighthouses, or watching wildlife.""Another tip is to establish and communicate clear rules and expectations for behavior," continued Adams. "Children should be taught the importance of safety and instructed on boating behavior. Lastly, it is important to have a plan in an emergency. Make sure that everyone can find life jackets and other safety equipment and know how to use them. Have a plan in case of inclement weather or other emergencies, and to make sure that everyone onboard knows what to do."
