And the randomly selected person who’s starting their new year off with prize is… Jennifer (who answered this week’s question with a Canadian folk lyric – which I had to look up, mind you: “Lukey’s boat is painted green, Ha, me boys!”). Congrats Jennifer!
Raise your hand if you know what a bathymetric chart is. I didn’t before this giveaway, but it’s basically like a topographic map for what lies underwater. But the more important thing to know is that the married duo behind Below the Boat turns these charts into gorgeous, laser-cut, hand-assembled works of art. They’re beautifully intricate and fascinatingly detailed. And they’ve got lots of bodies of water from the east coast, west coast, and even some lakes in between. One of you is gonna win up to $300 worth of bathymetric chart-y goodnesst this week. So… ahoy!

Amanda C says
BOAT ME!
I love boats! Pretty much any of the boats you mentioned except the large luxury cruise boats would be right up my alley. Sailboat, kayak, houseboat… yes, please.
I’m with Kristin S, catamarans are awesome. I especially love the older, smaller sailing ones! I could definitely spend some time on one of those! When I was younger I thought it would be cool to live on a boat and that was the type I chose! :)

BOAT ME! My fiancé and I dream of owning a sailboat one day and sailing to Hawaii and the south pacific. We currently own kayaks and spend time on lakes in California and Colorado. In college I did a quarter at sea and went to some of the most mind blowing landscapes ever, I can’t wait to return!
Robin Lynn says
Boat me!!
One of those glass bottom boats :)
Crystal @ 29 Rue House says
BOAT ME!!! Nice giveaway! I’d ride on any boat that you can get comfy and relaxed on…as long as I don’t have to steer. I don’t have the patience or focus to steer…I just want to sit back and relax!

BOAT ME!
Cruise boat, maybe someplace different… like a European river cruise!

Stacy says
BOAT ME! Never been on a cruise but have sailed the SF Bay a few times on the family sailboat. This is a great gift idea!
Amanda K says
BOAT ME! I’d go for a catamaran scoping out the coast of Hawaii looking for whales. For me it’s less about the type of boat and more about the place and scenery. :)

BOAT ME! I’ll take a sailboat any day!

Victoria says
BOAT ME!
It’s a toss up between a sailboat and a kayak. I live on the coast of Maine, so there’s plenty of options for getting out on the water.
Hilary @ My So-Called Home says
Boat me! Definitely a sailboat with the sun shining, a cool drink in my hand, and a little Dramamine in my belly…

I sink, so I don’t really love the boating thing. But art is a perfect way for me to enjoy the sea!

Love to go SUP-ing, last time a humpback mom and baby surfaced next to us!! Would love to experience that again…and it counts as a boat!
Lauren L. says
“BOAT ME!” I would want to go on a luxury cruise!
Julie C. says
Boat Me! Being from Michigan it would have to be on a canoe on one of the many beautiful small lakes.
Amy says
BOAT ME!!! Oh my….this would be perfect. I grew up on all kinds of sailboats and my dad was an Olympic Sailor. It would make him green with envy if I won. Keeping my fingers crossed.
(Sometimes I think I’m better at keeping my feet under me on a boat than when I’m on land.)
Lauren says
Boat Me!!
I really want to go on a small (like 20 passenger) luxury cruise in the Mediterranean. I’m excited just thinking about it :)
Cory says
BOAT ME!
A sailboat, please.
Jennifer says
Boat me! Definitely a kayak – I love being so close to the water.
Emily H. says
Boat me!
I’d go on another pontoon diving boat, since it’s more stable than a regular boat, there is not too much seasickness…
jennifer b says
BOAT ME!!! My favorite boat ride was our honeymoon cruise to Alaska. i would love to do another cruise to a more tropical location next time.
