Boats

Thank author of this post/commentDo many people own their own boats in Uruguay? Boat ownership is a big deal here and kind of a status symbol. I don't want a boat, but so many people do.

Montevideo, Uruguay
Thank author of this post/commentBoating is not a big thing in Uruguay.

As I recall, there are a few small marinas in Montevideo and one larger one in Buceo.

As an example, you could take all the boats I've seen and they'd fit into a decent sized marina in Buffalo, NY.

The vast majority of boats here are smallish sailboats.

Very few CMY's.

If you go east to Punta Ballena and Punta del Este.. there are a lot of boats, many (if not most) owned by non-Uruguayans. In season (summertime), there are some really serious 'boats' there.

The Rolls Royces that you see in Punta with plates from Italy, France, etc, didn't come Federal Express. They drove off the back of a 'boat' moored in one of those two areas. Perhaps Steve has seen the (or perhaps one of 'the') Ferrari yachts moored at Punta.

Having a boat is a very good investment.. Not only is it nice to have for a fun activity, but later when you don't need it anymore you can sell it and make money off of it..

It surprises me that there aren't a lot of people with boats. I would love to go sailing or fishing in beautiful water.

Thank author of this post/commentI think it was Oscar Wilde who described a boat as a hole in the water surrounded by wood into which money must be constantly poured :-)

Down here several of my neighbours have canoes for use on the Rio Rosario, some like to play with jet skis on the Rio Plata, some have dingies for fishing and some have small speed boats for water skiing.
