With such a large summer population and over 550 miles of shoreline, boating on Cape Cod is a popular pastime. Boating conditions on the Cape can run from the sheltered bays to the slightly more exposed areas of Cape Cod Bay and Nantucket Sound, to the extremely exposed, unforgiving, mighty Atlantic Ocean. Care must be exercised when enjoying the waters of the Cape on a boat. Be sure to always have the proper safety equipment, be aware of the rules of boating, and always...always...did I say always...keep an eye on the marine weather.Boating on Cape Cod does not necessarily require you to own a boat. If you have a little experience and would like to tackle the waters of the Cape on your own, there are a number of companies offering Cape Cod boat rentals. We personally have rented from Ship Shops in Yarmouth and we were very happy, both with the quality of the boats and the very friendly and helpful staff. We rented a 22' Boston Whaler, complete with all the necessary safety equipment and our family of five had an amazing time on Nantucket
