Explore Cardiff and the South and West Coast of Wales scenic waterways in the comfort of your own boat. Whether on board a cruiser, a runabout, a powerboat or a high-performance offshore capable sportfisher, you'll set your own course for a day trip with family or friends. 

Center-Console Fishing Boats

Allow angling from any place on deck, since the control station is located in the center. Generally outboard powered, some have small cabins for the "porta-potty" or to escape a squall. Depending on size, can be used offshore as well as coastal fishing. Length from mid-teens to high-20s. (Trailerable; 1 to 5 people)

Offshore Sportfishing Boats

Combine the comforts of motor yachts and the functionality of large aft cockpits to work trophy fish and bring them aboard. Classic, durable deep-vee hulls in fiberglass and aluminum, often with twin inboards, large fuel capacities for long range, sophisticated electronics, cabin space for crew and guests. Range from the mid-30s to 50s and 60s. 

Bow Riders

All-purpose runabouts with extra seats and forward access to the bow, a convenient spot to relax and sun. Outboard or stern-drive power. Smaller versions are fine for water skiing; larger versions allow some weekenders. All are suited to short-distance cruising. Length from mid-teens to upper-20s ft. long. (Trailerable; 1-5 people)

Runabouts

Feature open or closed bows, outboard or stern-drive power, and mostly vee-hulls. Fun for water skiing and wakeboarding, fishing, cruising, and sunning throughout the day. Some add camper canvas to allow overnights. Probably the most popular fiberglass boat made, though some are aluminum construction. Range from about 16 to upper 20 ft. (Trailerable; 1-8 people)

Cuddy Cabins

Small cruisers with compact cabins to overnight, do some simple cooking, and get out of the weather. Outboard or stern-drive power. Great day cruisers and weekenders for small groups. Also used on big water for trolling for fish. Length from high-teens to about 30 ft. (Trailerable; 1-5 people)

Cruising Sailboats

Bring the comforts of home and engine-powered travel options to sailboats, offering open-cockpit seating for entertaining above decks and one or more cabins below decks to accommodate family and friends on overnight or extended cruises. Cruising sailboats start at about 30 ft. and keep going up to the offshore yacht range at about 60 ft. (Not trailerable; 1-8 people)

Day Sailers

Small sailboats suited for short day outings on small lakes or calmer waters, ranging from dinghies (with a centerboard) to more substantial boats with a fixed keel. At about 20 ft., daysailers often include a small cabin or "below decks" area for dry storage. So-called "pocket cruisers" range from 21 to about 29 ft., have cabins ample enough to accommodate berths and amenities for basic overnighting. (Trailerable; 1-5 people)

Racing Sailboats

Span a wide variety of possibilities, from high-performance dinghies with spinnakers and trapezes to a newer crop of offshore one-design classes, ranging from 30 to 70 ft. These performance-oriented boats trade off weight and luxury for speed and maneuverability, and are generally more spartan below decks with utility berths, head and galley equipment available over 22 ft. (Not Trailerable; 1-8 people)

Motor Yachts

All the amenities of home in a traditional vee-hulled craft for gracious cruising or entertaining at the dock. A number of design variations offer more aft deck space for fishing, private aft cabins, sunning space on flybridges or on front decks. Fiberglass and aluminum hulls, sophisticated electronics, choice of gas or diesel inboard power in singles or twins. Typically range from 30 ft. to the 60s and 70s. Accommodations range from five or six to a dozen or more. (Not Trailerable; 1-8+ people)

Trawlers

Trawlers have become synonymous with power vessels capable of crossing oceans. Superior seaworthiness and ranges of 2,000 to 3,000 nautical miles and higher have been their signature characteristics, all made possible by their ruggedly built, full displacement designs and ranging in length from 36 feet and up.
