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!

Amy L. says
Boat Me!!! I would love to venture out on a sailboat. I think I have to learn how to sail first! but I think that would be so cool :)
Autumn says
BOAT ME!!
anything that won’t sink!
Kristin says
BOAT ME… a cruise would definitely be my desire! Just relax and enjoy my time on the water :)
Mara says
Boat Me! I enjoy just being the passenger on a decent sized houseboat. Enjoying the sun and the scenery. Weeee!
kyle says
“BOAT ME!” I would definitely need it to be as large a boat as possible; I have TERRIBLE motion sickness :).
Carrie says
BOAT ME!
Oh I love this give away – such beautiful work!! There are a few I’d like :) And being that we are/were boat people, this would make an EXCELLENT gift for my hubby.
After I found out I was pregnant, we ended up selling our boat – bitter sweet day. We really miss our boat and now that our little one is 3, we are starting to look for another one. We’d probably get another 21′ bay boat, something with a low draft for inshore fishing, but would love to have a boat with some place to sleep and a potty would be GREAT!
Heather says
BOAT ME! I think a house boat would be fun to live on…for a little while anyway!
Kana says
Boat me! Can I pick two?? I’d go on a luxury cruise to a warm island and then venture out on a catamaran!
Elissa says
BOAT ME!!!
I enjoy any type of boat but especially a kayak or a ferry because the ferry is bringing you to a nice getaway island for a break.
Renee says
Boat Me!!
While I spent nearly 10 years of my life rowing crew in high school and university, the thought of being out on the open seas scares me! I’ll stick to racing rowing shells :)
StephanieC says
BOAT ME! I grew up sailing on the Chesapeake and would love to pick it back up again as an adult.
Kristin says
Boat Me… Luxury Cruise.. for sure!

BOAT ME!
We’re about to go on a sailing honeymoon in the Caribbean so I’d have to say a 40ft sail boat :)

“BOAT ME!”
I’ve been on all kinds of boats, but I think my insides like the idea of them more than the reality.

BOAT ME!!
I’d choose a sailboat and demand someone take those “can’t be reality, but looks awfully charming” type pictures you always see in magazines of people on sailboats. Just for fun, ya know!
Travis T says
BOAT ME! Sailboat to an offshore island.
1956okie says
BOAT ME! But make it a big one, because deep water makes me nervous. Extra lifeboats would be nice, too.
Emily says
Boat me!! I get terribly sea sick, so it would have to be something on a calm lake or river…probably kayaking.
Christine says
BOAT ME!
Cruise ship all the way for me! We love everything about them- the drinks, the dressing up, the bingo, even the safety muster!
Ashley says
BOAT ME! I grew up on a lake and loved spending summers in our speed boat with the whole family.
Alyssa says
BOAT ME!! I love boating on the lake on our family pontoon!!

Tori says
BOAT ME! My husband and I would love to do a trip around Austrailia! Sailboat, cruise–doesn’t matter!

I’m perfectly content on a pontoon with my best friends and some good eats. Sounds like heaven!

A family kayak trip is on our bucket list.
