If you are the more adventurous type and want to try some sailing for yourself, then AGA Rent-A-Car Car Rentals Mexico suggests renting a sailboat and venturing out onto the Mazatlan waters on your own. If you decide to go sailing there are some very basic rules you should remember:

Wear a Floatation Device

Here's a statistic every sailor should see: Around 80% of boating drowning deaths in any given year would NOT have occurred IF the victim had worn a personal floatation device.

No matter how strong a swimmer you might be, your skills are of no use if you have been knocked unconscious. This can happen and, when it does, those without personal floatation devices usually drown. For your own sake, and the sakes of those who would grieve for you, always wear a personal floatation device.

Stay Warm--It's Cooler Than You Think

AGA Rent-A-Car Car Rentals Mexico vacationers should realize that just because sailing is a water sport does not mean it should be done in a swimsuit. First of all, it's nearly never as warm on the water as you would imagine. You will quickly become chilled in a swimsuit, which will make you uncomfortable. Secondly, on the rare occasions that conditions are calm with blazing UV rays, you will curse yourself for wearing a swimsuit the next ten days while your sunburn is peeling. A good rule of thumb is to wear one extra layer of clothing. For example, wear a windbreaker over a tee-shirt. Wind pants or polar fleece pants are a good choice over shorts.

Water sports are an all day-every day attraction in Mazatlan. The beaches are swarming with jet skis and wave runners, parasailing, inflatable banana rides, sailboats (hobie cats) and sea kayaks. If it's a water adventure you are craving, the Mazatlan is the place for you!
