The end of summer doesn’t mean the end of the boating season. With the Texas climate, Fall is one of the best times to enjoy your boating lifestyle on the water and extend your boating season well into Autumn and Winter. With crisp, cool air, beautiful fall colors and fewer people on the water, autumn might be the best time of year to go boating.

Here are some reasons why …

PERFECT TEXAS TEMPERATURES

Say good-bye to that Texas ‘humidity’ and hello to perfect ‘Indian Summer’ days. Indian Summer days offer such pleasant, unseasonably warm, dry weather with breezes and drops in temperatures that are a reprieve from the intense Summer heat—makes one want to remain outdoors all day long.

IT IS QUIETER & LESS CROWDED

Fall boating means ramps and marinas are less crowded. So, too, are popular sandbars and anchorages—which you might just find you have all to yourself.

LESS BOATING TRAFFIC

Less traffic out on the water, can make for more of a relaxed enjoyable time on the water, safer surroundings and usually much smoother waters to navigate.

ENJOY THE NATURAL ELEMENTS

From catching colorful Fall foliage by water; to more visible active wildlife (over 300 species of birds have been identified in Texas) and then putting the day to rest with an early peaceful sunset.

WATER THERAPY/QUARANTINING

Boating makes the perfect escape, now more than ever with our current circumstances—your own private floating resort that you can enjoy a ‘staycation’ on. As families continue to quarantine, distance and stay cocooned together; getting out on the water is a healthy, uplifting break for all. Time on the water consistently has shown to lead to significantly higher benefits, in inducing positive mood and reducing negative mood and stress! 

FALL FISHING IN TEXAS

Cooler water temperatures means an abundant harvest for fisherman. Did you know catching large fish in big numbers is best in the Fall because of their need to bulk up for winter? Fish have eating on the mind and that makes it good for you, the fisherman.
