Holiday Gift Ideas For Boat Owners

When it comes to boating, there is no such thing as too much stuff. That’s why if you have a boat owner in your life, you’re never at a loss for ideas when it comes to gift-giving. Whether you’re shopping for a fisherman, a watersport enthusiast, a party barge captain, or a sunset cruiser, this list will give you some great ideas that will make waves this holiday.  

Apparel

The old adage, dress for the job you want, not the job you have rings true for boaters. Who doesn’t want to be the captain of their vessel full-time? For the one who loves dressing the part, pick up some new apparel. Snag some Maui Jim or Costa sun glasses, UV-protectant clothing, or a new hat to make their next voyage a stylish one. 

Food and Beverage

Most boaters use their boats as a way to entertain family and friends. For those who love any excuse to celebrate offshore, there are lots of ways to help make any occasion water-friendly. Shop for shatterproof, reusable dish and drinkware good like stainless-steel mugs and tumblers.

Coolers are great for bringing along all of the essentials for a day entertaining on the water and no party is complete without plenty of ice. Any boater would be thrilled to find a high-tech, stylish new cooler under the tree this year.

Gear

Got someone on your list who loves to rip it up on the water? Put some major excitement under the tree this year with a new wake or surfboard. A new board or towable tube will have any adrenaline junky amped for next boating season when they can start working out tricks on it.

Tech

There is no shortage of tech devices that make boating safer, easier, and more fun. However, all the options can make it can be tough to decide what to snag as a gift. Some basic, useful gadgets for all types of boats and boat owners include items like waterproof USB chargers, Bluetooth speakers, fish finders, and navigation devices.

Boat Care

No matter how they use their boat, keeping it in top shape is a priority for all types of boat owners, which is why boat cleaning and maintenance supplies make a great gift idea. Create a gift bucket full of tools and products to keep their boat looking sea-worthy all season long. Add cleaning supplies like sponges, microfiber cloths, brushes, cleaners, and wax and top it all off with a bow.

Safety

You can never have too many lifejackets when you own a boat. And because lifejackets can take a beating over the years, it’s important to replace them, making lifejackets a great gift. Other safety equipment and gadgets great for gifting include throwable floatation devices, first aid kits, flashlights, and radios.

Stocking Stuffers

Some of the most useful gadgets you need for a boat can fit in the palm of your hand, making them great stocking stuffers. Small items like water socks, waterproof pouches, solar waterproof cell phone chargers, bottle openers, and multitools make great gifts that won’t break the bank.
