Equipment and techniques for beginners

Water skiing and wakeboarding are the gateway to the world of high-speed water sports. If you are new to these sports, you will start with selecting the right equipment. You’ll need a pair of water skis or a wakeboard, a life jacket, a tow rope and, of course, a powerful boat. Crownline boats are designed to provide the power and stability you need for your first steps in these sports. We’ll provide step-by-step guidance to get you up on the water and enjoying your first ride, all from the comfort and style of your Crownline boat.

Tips to advance your skills

Once you’ve mastered the basics, it’s time to take your skills to the next level. Getting better at water skiing and wakeboarding means learning how to cut through the water, increase your speed and eventually perform tricks. We will teach you how to adjust your stance and how to use the boat’s wake to perform jumps. We will also discuss the importance of good communication and signals between the skier or wakeboarder and the boat driver. A Crownline, with its exceptional performance, is the perfect companion for those looking to push their limits on the water.

Paddle surfing and kayaking: explore at your leisure

Discover the coast at your own pace

For those looking for a more serene experience, paddle surfing and kayaking are ideal options. These sports allow you to get close to nature and explore the waters at your own pace.

We’ll also share tips on how to use your Crownline as a launch pad for these activities, allowing you to access places that would otherwise be unreachable.

Essential equipment for long expeditions

If you plan to spend several hours or even the whole day exploring, you will need to bring the right equipment. This includes sun protection, sufficient water and food, a first aid kit and possibly a communication device in case of emergency. We will also discuss the importance of informing someone about your travel plan and what to do if you encounter wildlife or adverse weather conditions. Your Crownline is the perfect starting point for these adventures, offering space and convenience to store all your gear.

Diving and snorkelling: wonders beneath the surface

Preparing your boat for diving

Scuba diving and snorkelling offer you a window into an underwater world full of wonders. Preparing your Crownline for these activities involves bringing the right equipment on board, including oxygen tanks, fins, masks and wetsuits. It’s also crucial to have a solid understanding of safe diving practices, including how to signal your boat that you’re underwater and how to avoid impacting the delicate marine ecosystems you’ll be exploring.

The best places to dive

Some of the best diving and snorkelling spots are only accessible by boat. We’ll take you through a selection of world-class dive destinations, from vibrant coral reefs to mysterious shipwrecks. Each offers a unique experience and the opportunity to encounter a variety of marine life.
