Re: Date Night with Boat

Lake Pleasant has 2 resteraunts at their respective marinas. Scorpion Bay Marina has a Dillons barbque with a to go option if you want. I have my boat docked there. Good Times ...

I only been to lake Pleasant 3 times since I owned my boat just over a Year. Never made it to the marina. I have to check it out.

That would get my vote for the first boating date night. Get creative after that, but you want the first time...ahem...to be gentle and stress free.

Re: Date Night with Boat

I'm thinking a picnic with a bottle of wine would do the trick. Use your secluded part of the lake to anchor and let the wine do its thing!

Bad idea...not night experienced, then add a B.U.I. to that, and it would likely be his LAST boating date night!

Re: Date Night with Boat

Here is a thought.

We could spend the night at the lake. We would have to pack a tent and a Blow up mattress. My parents will take the kids all night and all Weekend if we wanted. Sleeping in a bow rider might be difficult so we would have to find a place on Shore.

Now you are thinkin'. Even better...find out if any of the marinas do delivery via boat, and have it delivered to you. We have one that does that at one of our local lakes, if they know you (Lovely Wife grew up with the owners daughter), but it is a small(ish) lake. Worth a look anyway.

Re: Date Night with Boat

I guess it depends on your bowrider, mine has bow filler cushions that make the bow area into an area the size of atleast a good sized double bed, I am 6'1" tall and I have plenty of room, I haven't slept there.....OVERNIGHT yet but I think I could do it no problem...no I know I could. Is that something you could have done on your Glastron?


Your right Sig you could definitely do dinner too......food right??

Re: Date Night with Boat

The Mrs. and I get rid of the kids every other weekend (send to their other parents) and hit the lake.

Throw an anchor.. open a bottle of wine and have dinner afloat!

Re: Date Night with Boat

My bow rider does have filler cushions so yes it would be possible to sleep up there. Didn't think of that.

Re: Date Night with Boat

when I was a teen we'd raft up and spend the night on boats (mine ws a 16' bowrider starcraft w/ fold down seats) but the mornings were right rough--lots of dew for one thing. Not sure it would end up "romantic." Depends on the girl of course.

Some would find a picnic on the shore romantic; others would rather stay floating in the clean boat on the cushions. Depends on the girl.

And there's that bathroom thing that affects everyone differently (as in 6 pages of posts here!). Depends...

Cold subs from the convenience store--vienna's, sardines, saltines and mustard--nabs--pizza--depends on the girl.

Since the whole idea is to please her, how about the stuff girls like: chicken salad, grapes, brie, tablewater crackers, a chilled Sauvingon blanc or pinot grigio. Or an Italian picnic: peasant bread, 3 cheeses, hard salami, apples, and a Sangiovesi. But the most important thing is presentation. Get some good napkins, real glasses, a table cloth, wooden cutting board*, candles (safely contained) if at night, decent plastic plates, silverware. Whip out a small vase w/ a couple of flowers. Maybe a small folding table like a TV tray that fits between the bow seats. A little Oscar Peterson or Art Tatum playing on the CD.
Finish with chocolate.
You won't have time to move to that private cove, mate.

*not the one you cut bait on

Re: Date Night with Boat

Ya, date nights on the boat are very cool. We have a marina on our lake that has live music on Saturday nights. When the band shuts down, we get back into the boat (about 12 am or so) and go find a cove so I can commence to "Layin' some pipe"......... nothing better for sure.

For some reason a boat, a lake, a band at a marina and a little wine makes the lady's get a little "Frisky" if ya know what I mean.

Re: Date Night with Boat

guess i do the date night thing often. least the last couple years i have. near every outing was an over nighter. love the sunsets too. + i was practicing my boating at night skills. it's much different than day boating to say the least. for sure use a gps and keep a sharp lookout. my lake at night is totally different to boat on than in the day time. interesting the way lights play tricks on you. hard to tell where yer at. what lights are on the water and what lights are on land.
also, be wary of tieing your boat to a tree if yer gonna fall asleep. be sure the weather is gonna be good. i tried that once when the weather was great at sunset and early eve. middle of the night high winds came up and pasted my boat on shore, waves beating me sideways for 10 hrs before i got help to get off the beach. so beware.
i only have one restaurant at the lake i frequent. sometimes i've eatin there but mostly i go for cheese and crackers type stuff. no exotic dinner for sure, but does keep hunger pains away. my new idea is a propane camp stove to use on shore. only tried that a couple times but seems to work and lets you have more than just crackers and cheese.
take it to the next step too. camping off the boat. i've done that several times on the missouri river. better have yer ducks in a row. it gets real isolated when your doing something like that. but man, it's just you and the sweety. anything goes...

Re: Date Night with Boat

Date night on the boat. We've done that many times years ago, but had nearly forgotten. This thread has rekindled the interest, so I showed it to my lovely wife of 40 years. She smiled, I smiled back. The boys had moved out 20 years ago, so that was no issue. I said "Meet me at the boat in an hour. I'll bring the wine and candles". I arrived at the boat first, lit the candles, poured the wine.. She finally arrives, wearing a knockout swimsuit and a pink lounging robe, still looking like a million bucks after all these years (we're over 60). She smiled yet again. I climbed aboard first, and immediately smacked my forehead into the bicycle hanging from the rafters above it. No worries, a band-aid from the safety kit stopped the bleeding. I finally pulled her up into the boat, but she scraped her leg on the rod holder and quickly announced that the aluminum was too cold to sit on, and besides, the single flat tire on the trailer had the boat leaning to one side. On a 14 footer, that's quite a lean! I guess the smell of gas didn't help either. The last straw was when the cat jumped aboard clenching a mouse in it's teeth. Oh, well! Before we went back upstairs, we threw another load into the washer, and spent the evening watching Dancing with the Stars. Thanks for the great idea!

Re: Date Night with Boat

Picnic basket idea works best if you also have a friend or friends that can sneak up after dark playing live music. Kind of like the restuarant with those Mexicans playing at your table, but without the real intrusion. Plus, you can always cruise away when you've had enough, or are heading someplace more secluded for desert!

Same here. Then the video would end up on you tube or something equally as embarrassing. Keep the friends out of it at all costs!!!
