Beachside Circle Boats
If you are looking for a fun new way to get out on the water in Orange Beach you need to check out Beachside Circle Boats!
I had the opportunity to check them out, and it was so much fun. We cruised around from the Romar Marina along the water looking at birds, chatting, and having way to much fun.
Who knew it would be so much fun to go in circles in a circle boat. I don't know why but I couldn't stop giggling as the boat went in circles spinning like a tea cup ride at an amusement park.
Don't worry, you don't have to go in circles, I just found it to be a lot of fun. I am already talking with friends about renting Beachside Circle Boats and heading out to the Orange Beach Islands on a gorgeous day.
What to expect cruising on a Beachside Circle Boat
It is quick and easy to get set up with the circle boats. The amazing crew will greet you and guide you through learning how to drive the boat (circles optional).
They provide a safety walkthrough so you are comfortable on the boat, know where to go, and answer all of your questions before you head out on the water.
The circle boats have a lifejacket, paddle, whistle, and cell phone holder strapped to them. The circle boats are run with a 5-speed motor that is really easy to use. You get to decide what speed you want to cruise around at.
