Definition

We’ll begin by defining what, exactly, a bowrider boat is. A bowrider is a type of runabout boat that has a sunken area ahead of the helm at the bow of the boat. This area is designed to be a comfortable seating space so that passengers can enjoy the feel of the spray on their faces as the boat cruises along. There is more seating at the stern of the boat as well so that you have lots of space for passengers.

Bowriders are generally no longer than 35’ and they have a single deck without an enclosed cabin or roof. These boats are equipped with either a sterndrive or an outboard motor. Some bowriders are designed for achieving higher speeds, while others are for more relaxed cruises.

Uses

The best places for bowriders are calm, inland waterways such as rivers and lakes. Because bowriders are so small and don’t have a cabin, they aren’t ideal for choppy open ocean waters since they may capsize and they won’t shelter you from inclement weather or even the hot sun, so you’ll want to be careful.

You can find bowriders with faster and more powerful engines that are suitable for towing watersports participants like wakeboarders, water skiers and inner tubers. But most people use their bowrider boats for pleasure cruising on a warm day. With all the seating at the bow and the stern, you’ve got plenty of space for up to ten passengers! The deck is usually big enough to allow for sunbathing and swimming or watersports prep, too. Bowriders are the ideal family boat for people who just want to get out and enjoy the water.
