It is no secret that boating is an expensive leisure activity. It comes with tons of additional expenses besides the purchase price, and that builds a huge wall between aspiring boaters and their dreams. The few people that make it to the other side may feel lonely especially when there’s nobody, in their circles, who share their interest.
However, there is a quick fix.
The best place to search for like-minded people is YouTube. There, you’ll find tons of channels with topics ranging from sailing to yachting and everything in between.
Unless you’ve been living on Mars, you probably know that YouTube offers a free service. And yeah, you will have to deal with those annoying adverts between videos.
