Boat rental is a service that allows individuals to hire a boat for a specific period. This can include various types of boats, such as sailboats, motorboats, or kayaks. Rentals are often available at marinas, lakes, or coastal areas, providing opportunities for recreational activities like fishing, sightseeing, or water sports. Renting a boat typically involves choosing the type of boat, selecting the rental duration, and agreeing to the rental terms. Some companies may require a valid boating license, while others offer guided tours. Safety equipment, such as life jackets, is usually provided to ensure a safe experience on the water.
