If you live near a large body of water, activities on the water are fairly common. From wakeboarding to fishing to just sitting out on a boat in the middle of the ocean or lake to have a picnic in the sun, boats are pretty ubiquitous culturally around waterfront areas. It’s like asking why people own beach towels or swimsuits when they live near a beach.
Same reason people buy motorhomes - this just moves on water. It’s like a second home you can go to on holidays. Our first one was just a small fibreglass hulled boat for day trips but every subsequent one after that has been bigger than the previous. The current one is 11 meters long steel boat that weighs over 10000kg and has most modern comforts you’d find on a house or summer cabin: heating, running water, indoor toilet, sauna, solar panels, full kitchen and so on.
Now I’m curious what kind of vessel you’re in lol
Edit: Lmao, bunch of comedians in here, love you all. Looked like he was just floating on half a piece of angled sheet metal.

Why do you have a boat?
Why shouldn’t he have a boat?
Because they’re holes you throw money into. You want to be friends with the person who has the boat, not own it yourself.
I don’t. It belongs to my parents. They have two and this is the tender we tow behind the bigger one.
Why do your parents own a boat (or two boats)? I just don’t know anyone who owns a boat and I’m wondering why people decide they need one.

Do you live anywhere near water? Move closer to water. You will meet people who have boats.

Finland is knows to be the land of a thousand lakes… Owning a boat there would be highly appropriate if you ask me
It’s a boat. Think of a wagon, but it floats on water. Instead of wheels, it has a propellor that propels it through the water.
Crazy! What will they think of next?
