3 Reasons Why You Should Get Boating on a Weekday
Summer vacation is almost here, and families will soon start hitting the water! There’s nothing quite as exciting for us as a beautiful, busy day on Lake Hopatcong or Sandy Hook Bay – boats buzzing, smiling faces on our docks – we love it all! A secret to living “boat life” to its fullest is the beauty and serenity that can be found on our waterways on a weekday.
Join us on Lake Hopatcong on a Tuesday afternoon in the summer, and you’ll likely have the lake almost exclusively to yourself – our waters are quieter, and snagging a dock and dine reservation is easier – there’s a lot to be said for weekday boating and its benefits.
In this post, we outline the top three reasons why you should consider taking that vacation day in 2024 to get boating on Lake Hopatcong with us!
Reason #1: Quieter Waters
Weekends are a popular time to hit the water and go boating. But along with that weekend fun comes more wake, more noise, and more traffic.
Don’t get us wrong – we love the hustle and bustle on our docks on any Sunday! But we have a special affinity for the calmer waters, less commotion, and reduced stress that can be found on Lake Hopatcong and Sandy Hook Bay during the typical workweek.
Reason #2: Weekday Boating Brings Even Greater Value to Boating Club Members and Boat Rental Guests
The advantages of hitting the water on a typical weekday also offer financial benefits. “Off-peak” boating times often can be enjoyed at a reduced price. At Bridge Marina, we offer a Weekday-Only Boating Club membership option at a low price point. Similarly, our weekday boat rental rates are an even greater value when compared to our “peak” or weekend rates.
Whether you decide to take a vacation day – or you’re fortunate enough to have weekdays free because of your profession (or retirement!), those with weekdays free have the perfect opportunity to enjoy the boating lifestyle and save at the same time; whether they’re booking a boat rental or joining our Boating Club’s weekday program.
Reason #3: Less Planning Required for Boating on Weekdays
While many boaters love to take the family out on the water on Saturday afternoons, reserving a boat rental on a weekend can require more organizing and can be tricky. Without proper planning, you may have to wait longer to get out on the water and could be on a tighter schedule.
On the other hand, booking a boat rental or Boating Club reservation on weekdays is often a breeze. If you’re a last-minute planner, weekday boating just might be made for you!
