No need to BYOB (buy your own boat)

Meet Getmyboat: the Airbnb of boating

Pro tip: Check for rental minimums and any required safety certifications or licenses before making reservations. | Photo via Getmyboat

Nashville summers revolve around floating on Percy Priest and Old Hickory Lake, but if you’re notorious for last-minute plans, you might feel upstream without a paddle when your favorite local rental company is booked. Your life jacket? GetMyBoat and Boatsetter.

🚤 How it works

The two boat rental companies serve various US cities, including Nashville, and act as the “Airbnb” for finding available boat rentals in the area. All you have to do is create an account and start searching for the watercraft that best suits your needs for the day (think: tritoons, wakeboard boats, yachts, and more). Bonus: Some rental options include add-on captains for people who don’t have a boating license.

2021 Tige 22 RZX | Percy Priest Lake | $175/hr

This wakeboard boat includes a captain and can accommodate 15 passengers, though nine are recommended if you have plans for water sports. Optional accessories include a floating mat, wakeboard, wakesurf board, knee board, or tube.

✈️ How to protect your gut health while traveling

It’s very common for travel to wreak havoc on our digestive system, due to a number of factors from eating new foods to time changes (yes, “gut-lag” is a thing). | Photo by Pendulum

We’ve all been there: a sunny beach, a gorgeous new city, a cute little cabin — and then you feel the dreaded rumble. Your stomach doesn’t feel good, and you have to get to a bathroom, pronto.

Don’t let that happen to you. Before your next summer trip, brush up on five tips to keep your gut happy on the go:

1. Stay hydrated. Stick to (safe) tap or bottled water.
2. Pack probiotics. Pro tip: Sprint to checkout (instead of the bathroom) for 20% off Metabolic Daily with code 6AMCITY.
