freighters, ferryboats, river stern - wheelers,
chartered boats and yachts, houseboats, and
smaller family boats and canoes.
Cruise ships and other large vessels need
convenient piers and good land - air
transportation connections for their passengers.
Smaller boats need docks and loading -
unloading ramps for easy accessibility to water.
Charter boat operators must have reliable
weather forecasting and ready availability of
needed supplies and repair services.
Where rental canoes are popular, delivery and
pickup services are often necessary, as are
campgrounds in wilderness areas where
canoeists can stay overnight. Persons owning
their own boats appreciate good public - access
points for launching.
Rail
Travelers worldwide often prefer rail travel,
particularly because of its safety record and the
convenience and comfort of viewing the scenery
from an air - conditioned car.
