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!

We’ve been on cruises, so another one of those would be great!
There’s a gallery of these in downtown Annapolis that I’ve been lusting over for over a year.. this would be awesome to win.

I think a sailboat would be fun!
Lauren@FilingJointly says
BOAT ME!!
My father-in-law was a sailor (like seriously he used to sail about the Caribbean for fun) and he managed to instill in previous landlubber me a love of the sport. So I’d for sure choose sailing any day.
Alessa says
BOAT ME! I would definitely choose a smooth-sailing yacht cruise somewhere tropical! Man, I hope I win this — im currently getting our newest little ones nursery ready and this would be awesome with the subtle nautical/aquatic theme I have going!
Justine says
BOAT ME! I’d love to take a week off and sail around on my in-laws sailboat through the Strait of Georgia and around the Gulf Islands off Vancouver Island. It’s my favorite place to be!
ryan says
BOAT ME!
Canoe!
Katie says
BOAT ME! A sailboat. With a good book and my man for days on end!
Tracie says
BOAT ME!
My preferred boat is a cruise ship – my family likes to go on yearly cruises together to hang out and catch up. I’ve been on two of them, and they are always so much fun!
Tracey says
BOAT ME!
A party boat with a slide!
Morgan says
BOAT ME! Being that my husband is from Cape cod he is an avid “yachtsman” but his favorite is a little boat called the Beetle Cat (according to a quick google: “Beetle Cat is a 12 foot, gaff rigged, wooden sailboat first built in 1921 by the Beetle family of New Bedford, Massachusetts”). We have a rendering of one on our wall, I would love to add one of these beautiful maps next to it.
Kalyn Lord says
Boat Me!
…and I’d choose a private yacht, for sure.
Katie @ Polka Dot Soup says
BOAT ME! I’d love to have a houseboat – it seems like it would be a great way to fall asleep every night. More realistically? A canoe would be a nice choice.
Erin says
BOAT ME! My vessel of choice is definitely a sailboat. The smaller the boat, the more exciting the adventure!
Brianne says
BOAT ME! A luxury cruise would definitely be my preference.

BOAT ME!!!
I’ve always wanted a little sunfish sail boat. We used to sail them at the summer camp I attended and I would love to have one for short little adventures in the waterway or to a nearby island (I live on the coast of NC).
Erlyn says
BOAT ME! A cruise anywhere would be the best.. I can’t get enough!

Emily V says
Boat ME!
I would love to venture out in a canoe or kayak with a tent and some food, and row myself to a camping ground.
Jessica says
BOAT ME!!
Luxury Cruise for me, but I would most likely wear my life vest at all times and pray profusely to the sea Gods that a Poseidon-like adventure is not in my future!
Susan M. says
Boat me! I’ve always wanted to go on a cruise!
Nichole says
BOAT ME!
Any kind of boat, except maybe fishing, anywhere warm would do. I think one of the most calming and beautiful things is watching how the sun glints off the surface of water.
katecooks says
boat me! i’ve never been on a luxury cruise before, but i sure wouldn’t mind giving one a try!
Aimee says
Boat Me! Just got back from the Caribbean! would love to make a memento of the trip!
megan e. says
BOAT ME!
Amy says
BOAT ME!
Luxury cruise is my pick. Anything smaller out on the open ocean and I’d feel a bit nervous.
Brenda says
BOAT ME!
My office has a pontoon boat, for client cruises, outdoor meetings, and happy hours. And even though I’m designated driver as captain, it’s always a blast.
Cory Ann Ellis says
Boat Me! I grew up on the ocean and my favorite place is Martha’s Vineyard, which you showed. I would love this for my nautical house.
Andrea says
BOAT ME! easy choice: Wendella boat cruise down the CHicago River and along the coast of Lake Michigan. Feeling a little homesick for Chicago this holiday season…
Diane says
Boat me! Assuming unlimited funds…I’d go with a private luxury yacht fully staffed and cruise the Mediterranean.

Marian says
BOAT ME! I’m actually headed out onto a “panga” later this month in order to get to an itty bitty island off the coast of Nicaragua! Dramamine is apparently a must :)
Amy says
BOAT ME! Luxury cruise…
