How to Choose a Watercraft That's Right For You!

There’s nothing like a day on the water!

Whether you are simply floating along with friends or prefer an action-packed activity, there are many options to consider when selecting a watercraft or boat. From party boats to electric catamarans, the choices can be overwhelming!  The craft you choose will be an investment, so the better educated you become on what is available, the more likely you will be happy with your decision. This article summarizes several boats and personal watercraft, to help you save time and money, so that your water adventures will be fun and memorable!

Pontoon Boats

We’ve all seen them cruising around lakes: pontoon boats—often referred to as party boats—offer many attractive features. They usually cost less than a power or sailboat, and are extremely spacious, with plenty of extra room for stretching out.

Depending on the size, pontoon boats can hold anywhere from 6-17 people. You could cruise with friends during the afternoon, then, by simply adding a camper enclosure, you can spend the night on board. Pontoon boats are slow, which might bore high-energy kids quickly. They are also awkward to turn, difficult to dock, and heavy to tow.

Sailboats

Many boats are pretty, but sailboats have an extra special something. The subject of many artistic efforts, sailboats show off clean lines, swooping overhangs, and sexy curves. When was the last time you saw a painting of a bunch of powerboats? If you’re the attention-grabbing type, a sailboat might just be the ideal status symbol. Sailboat owners often create their own communities and sail together, affording opportunities to create friendships, business partnerships, and even a friendly competition or two!

Sailboats are costly. New models can cost tens of thousands of dollars. Add in insurance, taxes, mooring, storage, and the trailer needed to tow a large boat, and the investment is definitely something to consider. Sailboats can be physically demanding, and require a specific skills set and education, to maneuver safely.

Powerboats

If you’ve got a need for speed, but also want to spend time with family and friends, a powerboat offers both. Whether cruising the lake or towing kids around on inner tubes, a power boat can be a great choice if you need a flexible option. Power boats can travel enough distance to allow you to fish “farther out” than a regular fishing boat, although the cost of fuel may be limiting. Powerboats can also offer many creature comforts, such as onboard bathroom facilities (a.k.a. “heads”), kitchens, and comfortable seating. Of course, the more “extras” included, the higher the cost.

Powerboats can be expensive to maintain. Most have two engines, which means there are more parts that need attention and potential replacement. The larger the boat, the more difficult it may be to dock, store, and tow. Insuring a power boat also adds to the cost, and licensing is required in most states. Many bodies of water do not allow power boats, due to conservation concerns.

Jet Ski/WaveRunner Personal Watercraft

Fast and thrilling, PWCs (personal watercraft) fulfill the need for speed. PWCs provide freedom and maneuverability that is unparalleled. The jet propulsion feature and lack of propeller provide a smooth ride. PWCs are easier to store. Most models can fit in an average garage, and they are easier to haul, due to their lighter weight.

PWCs can be dangerous, especially for those who are new to riding or have limited agility. PWCs don’t have brakes! They are not marine life friendly, so PWCs are not welcome on all bodies of water. Insuring a PWC can be a challenge, as their safety record is less than stellar. With the horsepower of a large outboard engine and the acceleration of a motorcycle, PWC are not toys, and taking one out on the water requires skill and understanding of how the craft operates.

Recreational Kayak

Kayaking can make you feel one with nature. With the ability to go on almost any body of water, a kayak can be beneficial to mind, body and spirit. There are thousands of nooks and crannies, bays and coves, inlets and outlets, tributaries and streams that are accessible via kayak. Shallow areas are not a problem for kayaks, and you can launch one practically anywhere. Kayaks are easy to tow, easy to store, easy to clean, and are relatively inexpensive. However, kayaking has its limits. Unless you are in excellent physical condition, kayaking can be tiring.

While fishing from a kayak is possible, it can be awkward, and limited storage makes taking home your catch a challenge. Kayaking does not offer protection from a change in the element, such as a sudden rain shower or pelting sun; and they can become uncomfortable on long trips, as body movement is limited.

FunCat® Electric-Solar Catamaran

A FunCat is an electric-solar catamaran, meant for relaxation and fun on the water. FunCats are easy to maneuver, easy to dock and easy to tow. The controls are so simple, just about anyone can drive. FunCats are battery or solar operated, and are environmentally friendly. Ideal for families or seniors, the FunCat allows for an enjoyable day on the water without the noise of a boat or the added cost of fuel. Children love FunCats because they can drive! An optional bimini shade protects from damaging sun rays, and rod mounts make FunCat ideal for fishing.

An added benefit to a FunCat catamaran is that it can be taken on even the calmest of lakes, including those that do not allow motorized boats. If you can access the water with a trolling motor, you can use your FunCat. FunCats have limited seating, but a family of four can still sit comfortably aboard. The quiet FunCat allows for quality time with family and friends, talking and sharing time on the water in comfort.

There are many options and things to consider when choosing a watercraft. Making a pros and cons list of your own, with must-have options and the accessories you’re dreaming about will help you determine what will work best for you and your family. Once you whittle down your list, consider renting for a few hours or even a few days. Renting can give you a feel for how the craft handles, and whether or not the investment will be worthwhile.

Announcing the 2017 Sea TREK Operator of the Year!

Each year, Sub Sea Systems gives special recognition to an outstanding operator by selecting the Sea TREK Operator of the Year. While we appreciate all of our operators, we want to give extra kudos to one operator who has gone above and beyond over the past year. Whether it is through innovation, growth, or phenomenal service, each Operator of the Year has made exceptional contributions to the success of the Sea TREK program.

Our 2017 Operator of the Year is (drum roll, please)....

Atlantis The Palm, Dubai!

With two TREK locations, 11 helmets, 11,500 guests for the year, and 20 Guides, Atlantis The Palm has had an amazing year. The operator also scored the highest marks in tour quality, staff professionalism, marketing efforts, innovation, community outreach and overall commitment to the Sea TREK program. Here are some of the award-winning highlights from Atlantis The Palm:

The original Sea TREK experience, called Shark Safari, is located in Aquaventure Park in an aquarium at the base of the infamous Leap of Faith waterslide and iconic pyramid. Not only do the adventurous TREKKERs catch a glimpse of the waterslide guests zooming by in a clear-acrylic tunnel, but they also are surrounded by various shark species while accompanied by a professional Guide. Educational and fun, this version of Sea TREK includes interacting with seven different shark species and six different rays!

In 2017, Atlantis added a second Sea TREK location (called Aqua Trek), in its Ambassador Lagoon in the Lost Chambers Aquarium. The Ambassador Lagoon is one of the world’s largest man made saltwater aquariums, with 11 million liters (nearly 3 million gallons) of water, and over 65,000 marine creatures. TREKKERs in the Lagoon have the unique (and innovative) opportunity to Sea TREK at night! Sub Sea Systems assisted by providing custom helmet lens clamps fitted with powerful LED lights. Brave participants can TREK the dark exhibit, shining their light at the aquarium residents who come out at night, adding a spooky aspect to a typical TREK.

In May, Atlantis The Palm launched “A World Away From Your Everyday”, a campaign organized by the Guinness World Records committee. Partnering with a local radio channel, presenter Stu Tolan submerged three meters into the Ambassador Lagoon while wearing a Sea TREK helmet, and produced the longest underwater live radio broadcast on record. The Channel 4 host concluded the underwater broadcast after an incredible 5 hours, 25 minutes and 25 seconds – successfully breaking the previous record by almost an hour! Stu had this to say about his experience:

“I have been lucky enough to participate in some incredible stunts during my radio career, but this was truly an amazing challenge and attempting a Guinness World Records title is a total world away from my every day. The team at Atlantis were incredible to work with and the support from my team at 104.8 Channel 4 made the whole challenge an incredible team effort!”

Of course, like all of our operators, Atlantis The Palm offers superior service to its customers.  Reviewers on TripAdvisor give high marks to both the Shark Safari and Aqua Trek experiences. Wonderful comments include “memories to last a lifetime.” 

An experienced diver said, “My daughter had some difficulties getting into the water, but the lady helping at the surface could not have been more helpful and encouraging. She was able to get into the water and had a broad smile on her face when she was there…” 

Ebrahim K shares, “…Staff members worthy of mention at the Shark Safari: Randy, Evan and Franklin: thanks for your professionalism and competence… We felt safe at all times despite having countless sharks and stingrays all around us. You guys are a true asset to your employers!”

Char711 said, “I booked the Shark Safari and it’s still today, the best experience of my life… it’s a once in a lifetime experience.”

Jasmine S writes, “We did the Aqua Trek for the first time and were a little nervous in the beginning, but the team did a commendable job in making us feel more comfortable underwater. Definitely would recommend to friends and family.”

Atlantis The Palm is also involved in a large community effort that was organized in January 2017, the UAE Food Bank. Atlantis The Palm is one of 96 hotels that donates their excess food and provides volunteer help with food distribution. The Food Bank serves low-income families and laborers within the community.

We are proud to have Atlantis The Palm, Dubai as a partner and Sea TREK ambassador, and look forward to the continued growth and success of the program!

Sub Sea’s New Year's Resolutions!

There’s something refreshing about starting a new calendar!  A new year can bring new possibilities for growth and self-improvement. Many of us reflect on the year that has come to a close, and determine ways to improve our lives over the next 12 months. In fact, approximately 45 percent of Americans make New Year’s resolutions.

At Sub Sea Systems, we have determined some opportunities for the coming year. Here's a list of our 2018 New Year's resolutions!

1. Get personal! This year, we'd like to continue to increase our "transparency" online and share more about our team, behind the scenes, and our company culture, via our social channels and newsletter.

2. Share more videos – Whether it's an underwater TREK, a quiet cruise on a FunCat, driving Aquaticar in our new test tank, or creating something new in our facility, we'd like to share it with our audience in an engaging format.

3. Go live – stream more live broadcasts to our followers on social media. We’ve seen a lot of excitement around live broadcasts of Clear Lounge parties and Sea TREK excursions! (links)

4. Explore new destinations – we're working hard to bring new Sea TREK, Clear Lounge and Aquaticar destinations to you in 2018. To give you a hint.. Asia, Africa and a new Caribbean island destination are on our lists!

5. Release the latest version of the Sea TREK helmet – NexGen – with a whole list of new features– such as a new lens clamp, integrated air flow calibration, roto-molded shoulder weights, and more!

6. Stand up more! 90% of the computers at the SSS office are mounted on bases that allow staff to sit or stand while working. This year, we're committed to standing more often! Standing offers numerous benefits.

7. Exhibit at a new trade show – we've gotten a head start on this one, and signed up for the DEAL Show in Dubai in April. DEAL is a massive show for the theme park and amusement industries. We will be traveling over 8,000 miles and spending approximately 19 hours in the air, to attend and exhibit all of our products: Aquaticar, Sea TREK, Clear Lounge and FunCat!

8. Increase our social footprint – grow both business and individual connections via our Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn accounts. Continue to connect with others in our industry, to improve our visibility.

9.  Promote existing locations – Increase visibility of Sea TREK, Clear Lounge and FunCat locales, by sharing their stories and social content.

10. Less dog treats and people food handouts (ya, right!). It’s hard to say ‘no’ to those cute beggars!

What are your resolutions for 2018? Tell us below!

Start the Conversation With Christmas Trivia

For many of us, the holiday season involves shopping, wrapping gifts, and making sure Santa has a cookie or two after he comes down the chimney. It can also mean socializing with family, friends and coworkers. Whether you are attending a work Christmas party, a holiday dinner out with friends, or even a weekend reunion with family, you’ll feel far more festive with a few conversation starters at the ready. Consider getting things rolling with some weird and wacky Christmas trivia!

Lifestyles of the Rich and Ornithological 
The “12 Days of Christmas” will take a big chunk out of a holiday budget. The cost of everything on the list, from the partridge to the drummers, totals $34,363.49, an increase of a few hundred dollars from last year. The "core" index, excluding volatile swan prices, rose 1.1% to $21,238.49.
But as the carol goes, all of the gifts except the drummers are counted multiple times, bringing the cost up to $156,507.88.

Three of the 12 gifts — the partridge in a pear tree, the five gold rings, and the 10 lords-a-leaping — saw annual cost increases that ranged from 2% to 10%.


Not So Classy
Scrooge does not celebrate with the Cratchits. While most cinema versions of "A Christmas Carol" show the reformed miser celebrating with his lower-class employee, in the book, Scrooge celebrates instead with his middle-class nephew.

If the Shoe…er, Sock...Fits
Christmas stockings have an interesting history. In Holland, St. Nicholas' Feast Day is celebrated December 6. Children leave out shoes overnight and find them filled with little gifts from St. Nicolas in the morning.


What Holiday is This, Anyway?
“Jingle Bells” was originally a Thanksgiving song.
James Lord Pierpont, an organist from Savannah, Georgia, first performed a song he wrote, “The One Horse Open Sleigh” at his church's Thanksgiving concert. The song was re-published in 1857 and given the title of today. Bonus fact: It's also the first song broadcast from space. On December 16, 1965, the Gemini 6 crew serenaded Mission Control after they reported seeing a "red-suited astronaut”.

Rudolph was Almost Named Reginald
A copywriter named Robert L. May first invented the “most famous” reindeer in 1939, as a marketing gimmick for Montgomery Ward's holiday coloring books. (May considered naming the beloved misfit Reginald or Rollo.) And, his nose wasn't originally going to be red: a red nose was viewed as a sign of chronic alcoholism, and Montgomery Ward didn't want him to seem like a drunkard. Good thing they changed it. "Reginald, the blue-nosed reindeer" doesn't have quite the same charm.
Chicken: It’s What’s For (Christmas) Dinner
Japanese people traditionally eat at KFC for Christmas dinner, thanks to a successful marketing campaign over 40 years ago. KFC is so popular that customers must place their Christmas orders 2 months in advance..


Bing It On
The bestselling Christmas single ever is Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”, selling over 50 million copies worldwide since 1942.

In White Christmas, the movie, Rosemary Clooney revealed that the "midnight snack" scene, in which Bob Wallace expounds on his theory of what foods cause what dreams, was almost entirely improvised.

Lots of Frequent Flyer Miles
Santa's sleigh doesn’t travel at the speed of light. Despite what you might think about Santa's ability to visit every good boy and girl's home in the world in one night, it's not as astronomical of a feat as you might think. Technically, Santa would have 34 hours to complete his task, thanks to the International Date Line and, according to the U.S. Department of Energy’s “Fermilab”, his sleigh would only have to travel at 99.999999% of the speed of light assuming he only visits 800 million houses over the entire surface area of the Earth.


Not So Wonderful
It’s A Wonderful Life was mentioned in an FBI file in 1947, when an analyst expressed concern that the film was an obvious attempt to discredit bankers, a “common trick used by communists.”

Something’s Fishy
In parts of Eastern Europe, it's customary to place a live carp in your bathtub for consumption on Christmas Eve. Some suggest that it's due to the fish's vital role in the region’s fishing industry, and because eating meat was considered a luxury—thus the need to save the carp for a special occasion.

Skip the Plastic?
Gift cards are the most requested holiday present for 10 years running. In 2016, more than 60% of people surveyed by the National Retail Federation said they requested a gift card as a holiday gift.
However, over $970 million in gift cards went unused in 2015 alone. Since 2005, some $45.7 billion worth of gift cards have been floating around in unused gift card balances.

Water-Loving Wordsmiths Take a Trek

We’re always excited to see Sea TREK participants post photos of their experiences on Instagram and Facebook. Frequently, we share these pictures on our own social media accounts. But, once in awhile, we find a true standout. Whether it’s someone with physical challenges checking off a bucket list item, or a Trekker proposing underwater, there are some participants that are truly inspiring!

Last week, two standout Trekkers crossed the Sea TREK Instagram account. Sheri Fink and her partner, Derek Taylor Kent, shared their Sea TREK photos and tagged us in the images. We contacted Sheri to see if she would agree to let us share the pics, and in her response she mentioned that she and Derek authored a children’s book titled…ready for it? ... “Counting Sea Life with the Little Seahorse”! We had just stumbled upon two people who certainly fit our criteria for standout personalities! Digging a little deeper, we discovered that the duo possess many talents: from award-winning authors, to recording artists, to motivational speakers. We enjoyed their story so much that we asked for an interview!

What first got you interested in the ocean environment?

Sheri: When I was a little girl, I became enamored with mermaids and the underwater world. I’ve always been fascinated by sea life, especially seahorses, dolphins and narwhals. Growing up in rural Virginia, the ocean was three and a half hours away and it felt like a magical world that was just beyond my reach. Living in Southern California today, I’m only ten minutes from the ocean, and I’ve spent many evenings watching the sun melt into the horizon and imagining the mysterious world beneath the waves.

Derek: I grew up in Los Angeles, so beach trips were a part of our daily lives. Our school would take trips to the Cabrillo Marine Museum, Catalina, and local aquariums where we learned about the amazing variety of sea life, the delicate underwater ecosystem and the importance of conservation. My grandparents also had a beach house in Marina Del Rey, so I grew up swimming in the ocean and appreciating the importance of keeping it clean and safe.


Are you involved with any ocean conservation programs?

Sheri and Derek: Before writing The Little Seahorse, Sheri commenced her research by traveling to Hawaii, where she met with the owners of the Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm. They are dedicated to the conservation of both seahorses and leafy sea dragons, which are both highly endangered and have required extraordinary efforts to prevent from going extinct. It has been a great honor to support them and help spread awareness about the plight of these fragile creatures. The Little Seahorse and Counting Sea Life with the Little Seahorse are carried in aquarium gift shops throughout North America, and proceeds from those sales benefit ocean conservation programs in local regions. Derek loves to cook, and takes any opportunity to educate kids and friends about the importance of sustainability both with seafood and land food.


What inspired you to write “The Little Seahorse”? 

Sheri: I’ve always found seahorses to be whimsical and thought their unique appearance and attributes were perfect for a children’s book. I wanted to write a story that inspired bashful kids to be brave, and found the shy personality of seahorses an ideal fit to illustrate a common dilemma that kids face. In the story, a seahorse stumbles upon a beautiful pearl that he wants to give as a gift to his mother, but doesn’t have any means to bring it to her. When he sees other fish circling the pearl, at first he is scared and mistrustful, but then learns to speak up and ask for help.

As authors, recording artists and motivational speakers, what is the secret to your success?

Sheri: My mission is to inspire and delight kids of all ages while planting seeds of self-esteem that can have lifelong benefits. I’m very passionate about empowering people to live their best lives and align my actions with my values. That helps me minimize distractions, energy drains, and things that just don’t matter so that I can focus on fully living my life and inspiring others along the way.

Derek: I love what I do, whether it’s writing or being creative in any other field, so when you put in the hard work, heart, and soul into a project, people notice and will want to connect with you and support you.


What is the best piece of advice you have ever received?

Sheri: “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.” – Dr. Seuss

Derek: Don’t ever judge a fish by its color!


What made you decide to try Sea TREK?

Sheri and Derek: Sheri first saw Sea TREK when she visited Catalina several years ago, but it wasn’t yet operational, so it’s been on her adventure list ever since. We were visiting Miami last month for the Reader’s Favorite Book Awards. Our co-authored book, Counting Sea Life with the Little Seahorse, received special recognition. When we visit a new city, we like to check out the local aquariums or sea adventures. When we found out that the Miami Seaquarium had a Sea TREK, we made reservations right away! We love new adventures and to have an activity that involved our love of sea life was a no-brainer. 

Tell us about your TREK!

Sheri and Derek: After suiting up in our wetsuits and viewing the safety video, we were ready for our trek. Underwater, it was a small group of four people plus the guide and the helper. We descended eighteen feet down into the aquarium, which held a remarkable variety of sea life that were all native to Biscayne Bay. There were countless stingrays, tropical fish, sharks, groupers, lobsters, and moray eels. It was amazing getting to reach out and touch the fish. They treated us like part of the environment and were surprisingly social and friendly. I’m sure the guides bringing in sardines and krill for them helped with our popularity, but just being able to see the fish eat, swim, and move as one school just inches away was an experience we will never forget. The guides took fantastic photos of all the action and we made sure to get a romantic picture of us “kissing” helmet-to-helmet. The technology was amazing how it allowed for clear vision even with the constant breathing. It was comfortable and easy to use. As we exited the tank, the twenty minutes felt so brief, we wished we could stay in another hour, but we look forward to our next Sea TREK in the near future.


What was your favorite part of TREKking?

Sheri and Derek: It was an incredible experience to feel like just another fish in the aquarium. The stingrays were remarkably curious and docile. It was a thrill to interact with them. As we made our way around the aquarium, it ended on a high note as we each got to hold a giant grouper as if it were a baby and feed it krill directly from a baby bottle. Sheri could not stop laughing at this surreal scene and has since sworn that she will never eat grouper again!

Do you have any fears about the ocean or its in habitants? If so, have you overcome these fears?

Sheri: I’m very cautious about swimming in the ocean, as I’ve been stung multiple times by jellyfish on my adventures over the years. I’ve been snorkeling and scuba diving in Hawaii, and I love the freedom that the Sea TREK technology provides to be safely under the water, fully immersed in the environment with the sea life, in an aquarium environment as well as in the ocean without having to worry about my equipment or getting water in my eyes, ears, or mouth. It’s so much more enjoyable!

Derek: I’ve never been afraid to venture into the ocean, but I think it’s important to know the dangers and always be cautious and aware. There’s a much greater chance of having an accident due to waves and tides than any sea creature, so riptides and pollution are what’s much more scary to me.



What projects do you have on the horizon?

Sheri: Our newest book, Counting Sea Life with the Little Seahorse, just debuted in September 2017 and we’re continuing to travel to promote it over the coming months. In fact, Derek and I will soon be snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef this January for our honeymoon! My next children’s book, The Little Unicorn, will be released in 2018. It's about a unicorn who loses her sparkle and goes on a daring adventure to find it, only to discover that it was within her all along.

Derek: I just released an educational picture book called Simon and the Solar System. Think Dr. Seuss in outer space. I also have a new middle-grade novel coming out in early 2018 called Principal Mikey, about a 10-year-old kid who becomes principal of his school.

Where can readers buy your books?

Sheri: You can find my books on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, independent bookstores, aquariums, and select toy stores and children’s boutiques throughout North America. Personalized, autographed copies can be ordered directly on my website at www.SheriFink.com. Fans can find me on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. I’d love to hear from you!

Derek: All the same places as Sheri, (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter). You can also check them all out in one place at www.DerekTaylorKent.com and follow me on social media @DerekTaylorKent.



If you won the lottery tomorrow, what would you do?

Sheri: I love what I’m doing personally and professionally … I’d do exactly what I’m doing now, but on a much larger scale.

Derek: All the Sea TREKs in the world.


Thank you, Sheri and Derek for sharing your story and perspective. We are so glad you enjoyed your Sea TREK experience, and we wish you all the best with your amazing books and future endeavors (including your pending nuptials)!
