Experts Share Advice on How to Keep Kids Engaged and Enjoying Family Time on the Water
ORLANDO, Fla., June 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Family boating adventures can do more than create fun summer memories — they help children build confidence, strengthen family relationships and develop a lifelong appreciation for the outdoors according to a national study conducted by Impulse Research Corp. for the National Marine Manufacturers Association. It revealed that boating families report stronger emotional well-being, greater life satisfaction and improved family connections compared to non-boating households. Nearly two-thirds of boat owners surveyed said boating helped bring their families closer, while 89% cited being outdoors as one of the biggest benefits of boating.
