Discover Boating: Lessons from Dad

I participated in an Ambassador Program on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for Discover Boating. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.

Summer is here and that means recreation. For many families, recreation means boating, it’s an activity the whole family can take part in. My first boating memory is of a red inflatable raft and the Great Salt Lake.

Boating is part of my family in a very special and incredible way. My brother-in-law grew up in the Bay Area and grew up admiring his dad, who loves the water. From a small boy, he went to college, where he taught sailboating. He graduated college, packed up and drove to the other side of the United States, where he worked on super yachts.

The Project Atticus

That career path led him to fall deeper in love with boating, meet a girl and c0-found Project Atticus.

Discover Boating in the video below as Jordan shares his boating memories and on-water plans for Father’s Day. It’s an incredible tribute to the man he admires and captures the passion of boating.

Father’s Day (June 15) is a popular holiday to get on the water with Dad. There’s no better time to make new memories on the water with Dad or reminisce about good times spent boating, fishing or tubing with Dad or Grandpa.

Selecting a boat can be a challenge. Project Atticus shares their story in two parts, and while you may not be looking to sail around the world, Discover Boating offers a Boat Selector Tool to make your time in the water the perfect adventure for you and your family.
