The World Of Boats

There are many boats out there on the market, with something for everyone. If you are new to boating, selecting the right boat can be hard. There are boats for every purpose on the water, all you have to do is find the one for you.

To help you in your quest, we'll go over the several types of boats available. This way, you'll know the differences when you head out to buy one of your own.

1. Vessel

The vessel is the most common name for a boat, as it's the description used or capable of being used on the water. Basically, it's another name used for a boat or anything capable of being on the water.

2. Power boat

A power boat is any boat or vessel that's propelled by machinery. Fishing boats are great examples, as they are powered by motors or engines.

3. Houseboat

A houseboat is fitted for use as a living vessel or for leisurely cruising. Normally, a houseboat will include living accomodations such as sleeping quarters, kitchen facilities, and even a full bath. The cruising models are normally propelled by power.

4. Sailboat

A sailboat is any boat that's under sail along with no mechanical means of propulsion. The modern sailboats range from one person boats to luxury yachts that can accomodate several people. They are divided into three basic types:

1. Daysailer - This is a small boat that's designed for comfortable sailing without sleeping accomodations. It offers a roomy cockpit and can also contain an outboard auxillary engine as well.

2. Cruiser - Cruisers are medium sized or large boats that contain a cabin with sleeping quarters, toilet, food area, and usually an auxillary engine that's built inside.

3. Racer - Racers are boats built for speed and ease of handling - normally at the expense of comfort.  

5. Zodiac

The Zodiac brand of high performance aluminum boats are some of the most popular in the entire boating industry. These boats are constructed with a conventional rigid hull with increased buoyancy and stability. The deep V hulls offered by these boats are made to take any weather. They are well known for their prowess and are used all over the world for commercial search and rescue operations.

6. Catamaran

These boats come with twin hulls. They provide safety, comfort, speed, and stability that's unmatched by single hulled boats. Popular with boating, they offer you a new twist to hitting the water.

Cabin $12.99 Inspired by his From the Ground Up New York Times blog, a beautifully written memoir about building and brotherhood. Confronted with the disappointments and knockdowns that can come in middle age-job loss, the death of his mother, a health scare, a divorce-Lou Ureneck needed a project that would engage the better part of him and put him back in life's good graces. City-bound for a decade, Lou decided he needed to build a simple post-and-beam cabin in the woods. He bought five acres in the hills of western Maine and asked his younger brother, Paul, to help him. Twenty years earlier the brothers had built a house together. Now Lou saw working with Paul as a way to reconnect with their shared history and to rediscover his truest self. As the brothers-with the help of Paul's sons-undertake the challenging construction, nothing seems to go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Ureneck eloquently reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and complexity of family relationships, the healing power of nature, and the need to root oneself in a place one can call home. With its exploration of the satisfaction of building and of physical labor, Cabin will also appeal to readers of Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Matthew Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft, and Tracy Kidder's House .

Cabin Cruiser Power Boat

What size Power boat for US to Caribbean trip?

I am looking to buy a power boat (NOT sail) with the intent of sailing between the US (NY/NJ-FLA) and Puerto Rico, St Thomas, St. Lucia, etc. Obvious a cabin cruiser of sorts. My question is what is the minimum size boat is good for this excursion? Plus any ideas on specific boats based on personal experience will earn my vote!

Actually, Dan has the very short - but correct answer.
Mainly because neither of us know how much money you have. I am assuming... you have an awful lot! (Silly of me isn't it.)

Well, since I have no idea of how much money you want to spend... I hope you have at least "two" wallets... One for purchasing the boat, and the other for fuel...
Course, my very first suggestion would be sail... If you don't know how - it is not hard to learn, and will certainly be less than the fuel you will spend on the first leg of your "powered" voyage.
But, If you are set on the power vs sail issue... then I would make a very strong suggestion you get a trawler...
Trawlers have greater stability in rough seas, greater fuel capacity and far greater range... Their single engines are made to run very cool for very long periods at a time... and when combined with the shape of the trawlers hull... they offer the very best fuel economy. Trawlers also tend to offer a bit more room and live aboard creature comforts than a standard cruiser...
Your main "power" issues here are going to be crossing the Gulf Steam... and range on a single tank of fuel...
For the most part, your choice of boat will need to be based on distance and range...
Course, there are plenty of fuel stops from NY/NJ to Cape Hatteras and Florida... after that however... in your case you will need to consider the fact that Miami to US Virgin Islands is 1130 miles... normally about (an average) 10 day cruise for most everyone these days (sail or power) ... and fuel stops in between (what very few there are in the Caribbean) are usually as low on fuel as you are... plus, you have to know of... plan for, and stop (and sometimes wait for a fuel delivery) at these fuel stops or you will never reach your destination (Welcome to the world of bunkered fuel.)
From Miami to San Juan, Puerto Rico for example is 900 nautical miles. Bermuda (the most northerly group of coral islands in the world) is just beyond the Gulf Stream some 650 miles off the coast of the Cape Hatteras and Miami to US Virgin Islands is 1130 miles.
I lived aboard my Krogen 42 (trawler) for 2 years, it had an actual cruising range of 2800 nm at 9 knots... (sail boat speed) with full 700 gallons of diesel fuel in her tanks.
So... today, for $4,200.00 in fuel to fill up her tanks, I could make it all the way from Miami to St. Thomas and back - if I held her to 8 or 9 knots and watched most of the sailboats pass me by.
So, you need to make sure you are looking at single engine long range capabilities with very economic fuel...
Most "Cabin Cruisers" are capable of planning... and most of these with larger fuel tanks are only to be found with larger twin engines... A twin screw vessel on plane will burn 8, 10 or more gallons per hour... and as a "footnote"... fuel "on the water" (at your favorite Marina) is running about 25% more than the price of fuel on land.... As a result, boaters today are paying over $5.00 a gallon for unleaded fuel in their boat (over $6.00 for diesel)...
On the "good news" side... you should be able to find some absolutely wonderfully marvelous deals "out there" on these size vessels... Most of the "twin engine" cruisers in my Marina are for sale, and / or their owners are coming down on the weekends... sitting on them, drinking their umbrella drinks, and having a fine time at the docks... almost none of them are taking their vessels out anymore - least not for anymore than an hour...

So, my recommendation is:
1. learn to sail & get a sail boat... put the money you would have spent on fuel in savings - so you can retire sooner, and sail longer.
or
2. get a trawler... single engine, long range fuel tanks...
(any trawler will do... Aldine, Krogen, there are alot
of them out there that are great vessels...
Grand Banks... I am not going to say is the best -
but it is one of the most expensive.)

As far as my experience goes, you can check me out - I've done it all: And if you think I am giving you lip service, just check out the kind of boat my 40 yr. old son has... and he has seen his Dad go from cruisers, to sail, to trawlers... to (now) a sternwheeler... (I now travel full-time on my live aboard sternwheeler at slightly less then 1 gallon per hour.)
