Trick-or-treating might be cancelled, but you and your family can still get dressed up and show off your costumes. Grab the family and put on your Halloween costumes. Then cruise around the canals, lake, or any coast and have some fun parading your costumes. Don’t forget to play your favorite Halloween music. Bonus points if you rope in another family friend and their boat!

It’s already been said how spectacular fall boating can be. But for your little ones, make it even more exciting with a Halloween I-Spy game or scavenger hunt. Cruise around your nearby coasts searching for a neighbor’s scarecrow or pumpkin. Or, the classic i-spy game will make this pastime your little one’s favorite adventure. Don’t forget the hot cider and donuts!

Your favorite Halloween games are made even more fun with a change of scenery. This is a chance to get out of the house and play your favorite family fun fall games – on your boat. Stay at the marina or cruise to your favorite secluded area to play your favorite fall games. But when it comes time for bobbing for apples, don’t use the livewell.

Gremlins in your engine room or boating electronics can really sour the boating festivities. Well, we don’t mean actual gremlins, but ensuring your boat is in tip-top shape means everything should be running smoothly. If this is your last few runs of the season, make sure you’ve scheduled your winterization. But for those of you in southern climates who will keep on boating, schedule your boat’s annual check-up to keep the good times rolling.
