Boats, like horses, were once used for transportation; now they are mainly for pleasure. When it is your own boat, this is called cruising; when it is not, it is called taking a cruise.
Cruises come in all shapes and sizes, from the Caronia's annual round-the-world ($2,875-$ 14,000) to Eastern Steamship Corp.'s all-expenses weekend sprees starting at $59 between Miami and Nassau. There are special cruises emphasizing bridge (with Charles Goren), culture (Japanese brush painting and photography).
