What are the benefits of boat swapping ?

Of course the financial aspect is paramount. Compared to boat rental, exchanging boats speaks for itself when it comes to saving money. In addition, an owner’s boat is much better equipped than a boat for rent, in general. The human side of it is also quite important. Preparing an exchange implies to be in contact with a swap partner, prepare a cruising program with him/her, provide some advice and inform about must see/do things. It is rather different from the usual commercial relationship. You rather feel like a guest whose host is going to share his/her experience with you until the time it is your turn to do exactly the same for him/her.
