Bowriders
Bowriders are the most popular boats in the runabout/ sportboat category, thanks to the spacious seating in their open bow (front) area. Swim platforms at the stern (back) are handy for swimming, donning skis or just dangling toes in the water when at anchor. Sterndrive power is the norm, but outboard engines are becoming increasingly popular for power.

Okay people, so I got fooled a couple of times and learned the hard way – paid more for what I got. Here is a list of Nine rules of thumb for people new to boating.
1. Go boating with friends several times.
Make sure that boating is an activity which really fits your interests and time schedule. Owning a boat just to take her out few times during summer is still an option but the fun with boating in Cyprus starts when the beaches are empty from people! This is when weather and sea conditions are best. Summer months are usually very windy with the exception of few days. Of course winter and days with storms should be avoided (although I came across few people who live dangerously…)
