Safety always comes first on the water. A high-quality life jacket is a must!

Quick-dry towels are perfect for boaters because they dry much faster than your average towel and are easy to store since they take up less space. 

A good cooler is a must-have for boaters. It keeps food and drinks cold while out on the water for the day. 

A boat hook makes docking and mooring easier. It’s also useful for grabbing lines or fending off other boats.

A waterproof Bluetooth speaker is always a great gift! It will help set the mood on the boat or even help start a dance party! 

Boat fenders protect your loved one’s boat from damage while docking.

Boaters often need to anchor their boats while out on the water. A new, high-quality anchor will make this task easy and stress-free.

Binoculars are essential for boaters to see landmarks or other boats from far away.  

A boat grill is perfect for cooking up a delicious meal while out on the water– that way you don’t have to head inland for a meal and break up the day! 

A waterproof headlamp is useful for boaters who need to see while doing tasks on their boat in the dark. These are super handy for evening cruises. 

A marine GPS is a necessary item for boaters who want to navigate easier on the water.

Sunglasses to look stylish and to protect from UV rays and glare while out on the water– the best of both worlds! 

Boat shoes are comfortable and practical. They provide excellent traction on wet surfaces and are lightweight– perfect for long days on a boat. 

A marine VHF radio allows boaters to communicate with their crew or other vessels on the water. A must-have for seasoned boaters! 

Keeping a boat clean is always a good idea. Gifting your loved one cleaning supplies will make it easier for them to maintain their boat. 

A GoPro camera is perfect for capturing those unforgettable moments on the water! And they’re waterproof- an added bonus!
