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!

Donelle says
BOAT ME! A luxury cruise in the Mediterranean would be amazing (one can dream at least)!
Colleen says
Boat me! I’d take a sailboat/houseboat combo :)!
Keisha says
BOAT ME!!!! I would opt for a luxury cruise on a large sailboat for sure. One that you can dive off of & swim in the ocean, but also have someone else steering & fine dining @ night.
Debbie says
Boat me! I’d love to try sailing… I love the water, but we’re kind of landlocked in Idaho, however, there’s plenty of big lakes that a little sailboat would fit nicely on!
Jessica says
BOAT ME!!
Kayaking… The white water rapids kind!
The Distressed Mother says
Boat me!
I love sailing! My fave holiday is sailing around the Whitsunday Islands.
TDM xx

Boat me! I love canoeing, kayaking, anything without a noisy motor!

BOAT ME!
I have terrible motion sickness so small boats are out for me. Going on a cruise was pretty awesome though. :)
Jaurie says
BOAT ME!
I think sailboats are gorgeous, but I’m a tad afraid of what lies beneath the water. Although, I might muster enough courage to grace the beautiful decks of an old fashion pirate ship;)
Betsy says
BOAT ME!
Obviously I want a yacht with a butler to bring me milkshakes. :-)
rebecca says
Boat me
kayaking in the intracoastal behind my house

BOAT ME! I loooooooooooove a good cruise. :) We’ve been on five so far.
Susan says
BOAT ME! I’ve never been on a cruise and the hubby and I have talked about going on a cruise for several months now, so I suppose that would be my choice. As an alternate, I wouldn’t mind sailing the ocean in a yacht, all Jay-Z and Beyonce style. :)
Amanda Ray says
BOAT ME! Luxury cruise for me!
Britt @ Honest to Goodness Living says
BOAT ME! Not gonna lie – as much as I love the idea of sailing… I think I’d choose some sort of yacht. The less work I would have to do in actually moving and more reading in the sea breeze I could do is my idea of a good time! :) Plus having an on-board hot tub sounds pretty spiffy :)
Jeannie says
BOAT ME! A kayak on a calm river or lake is my idea of a good time.
Thomas G. says
BOAT ME!
Kayaking and sailing are my favorite boating experiences…

Boat me! I would take a canoe on calm waters…no motion sickness that way!

“BOAT ME!” I’ve never been on a cruise so a Polynesian cruise sounds awesome to me!

Michelle says
Oh, I love these, so beautiful!

Oh btw boat me please!

I like to cruise in a pontoon boat. They don’t go very fast so it’s easy to relax and enjoy the sunshine.

Boat me!! Alaskan cruise is my style :)

BOAT ME! Something big and luxurious would be my dream! Vacation all the time!

Boat me! I am not a boat fan because of motion sickness and a fear that every boat is going to turn into the Titanic. But I am definitely a map fan. My husband and I have several up in our house! Does that count? :)
Kate says
BOAT ME!!
I would love to go on anything with a sleeper berth. It’s so nice how the boat rocks you to sleep (at least for those of us that aren’t sea sick!)
Susan says
BOAT ME! Not a big boater but I’ve heard that houseboating on the Colorado River is a blast.

Megan C. says
Map me!
Robyn says
BOAT ME!
I would defo get on board an Antarctic cruise ship… to visit Antarctica is a dream…
Kim says
Boat me! And thank you for offering such a cool giveaway.
We have a drift boat and I love our family’s floats on nearby rivers, but an Alaskan cruise (or a high-end tropical cruise with babysitter in tow) would be fantastic!
Elizabeth says
Boat Me! I’m ready for any kind of boat, especially the booze cruises! (seriously, I’m not a lush)

Boat me!….I would love to sail (or ride) a sailboat around the Caribbean.
