Discover Boating in the US reckons it has come up with the definitive boating soundtrack
What’s your favourite boating music? Discover Boating, a programme launched by the National Marine Manufacturers Association to get people on the water in the US, has surveyed a network of boating contacts to come up with its list of top on-water tunes.
“Nothing beats a sunny day out on a boat with good friends and great music – it’s what so many of us love about summer,” said Carl Blackwell, vice president for Discover Boating.
“We identified some of the most popular nautical-themed songs from a variety of artists and genres, all of which illustrate why boating and music go hand-in-hand. The wind in your hair, sun on your face, surrounded by friends and family – boating and music both provide an escape and when combined create an unbeatable on-the-water experience.”
