Water Skiing

This classic watersports activity pairs perfectly with a sport boat. For gear, you will need two water skis and a tow rope that gets anchored to the vessel. It's an activity that even young children can try their hand at. Just be sure each rider has water skies that suit their size. Some folks even enjoy slalom skiing, which involves one long and narrow ski that both feet balance on. More advanced skiers can even try their hands at tricks, jumps, and competition.

Inner Tubing

It's an iconic boating activity for a reason! Family members of nearly all ages can hop aboard an inner tube and enjoy an exciting time. The sport boat can hit high speeds, delivering adrenaline rushes to those being towed on the inner tube. For those who aren't thrill seekers, a leisurely cruise around the bay offers an alternative. 

Inner tubing is also an activity that can be enjoyed by multiple generations at once. Grandkids, parents, and even young (or young at heart) grandparents can try their hand at this outing.

Consider getting an inner tube that can fit multiple people at once. For those who want to fully embrace a relaxing ride, get an inner tube where riders sit like they are on a floating lounge chair - complete with drink holders.

Wakeboarding

Wakeboarding is one of the most popular watersports activities - and it's easy to see why. The sport originated in the 1980s as a way to enjoy a thrilling activity when the waters were calm. After all, not every marine outing is full of giant waves to tackle!

For a day of wakeboarding, you will need a board (that looks similar to a surfboard) and a tow rope that gets connected to the sport boat. Then, surf the wake that the sport boat generates. There are ways to modify a sport boat to generate even better wakes. The more often you or your passengers enjoy wakeboarding, the more you will want to look into those aftermarket accessories.

Wakesurfing

For those who want an even tougher challenge, wakesurfing is an option. There is still a tow rope and a specially-made surfboard involved, like there is with wakeboarding, but the rider eventually lets go of the tow rope. They will then rely on the power of the wakes to surf behind the sport boat. This activity is thought to have originated in the mid-20th century. Given its fun and entertainment value, it's not surprising that it's stuck around for decades.

Zipping Around

Finally, sport boats are great for plowing through the water at exhilarating speeds. Take advantage of the power potential to deliver an unforgettable voyage. Speed over to dinner across the lake, navigate a long river in record time, or simply tackle giant figure eights in front of the dock or marina. Give passengers on board the ride of their life with a thrilling sport boat voyage!
