An Introduction to Bowrider Boats

If you’re in the market for a new boat, you’re likely already well aware of just how many different makes and models there are. If you’re having trouble figuring out which of the many boats on the lot is right for you, we recommend checking out our article below on bowriders. These models are a perfect choice for boating amateurs and enthusiasts alike and a great fit for a wide variety of different buyers.

What Is a Bowrider? 

A bowrider is typically a small to medium-sized boat, with extra seating at the bow of the model—just ahead of the helm. Bowriders are often considered to be a ‘jack of all trades’ type of model. They can be used for fishing, watersports, or just casual cruising, and are suitable for both freshwater and saltwater boating. Bowriders can come with both sterndrive and outboard engines, so you’re welcome to pick whichever options best fit your preferences. 

Is a Bowrider Right For Me? 

Because bowriders are such versatile models, they’re a great fit for a wide range of different buyers. Families love the extra seating, fishermen like to take advantage of the model’s extra storage, and beginner boaters appreciate the model’s reasonable price tag. However, while bowriders are a great fit for the majority of buyers on the market, if you’re looking to boat in rough weather, or overnight, a bowrider may not be the best option. These models don’t tend to come with any kind of cover or cabin options, making it difficult to navigate in the rain, or spend long periods out on the water.
