With the holiday season just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about your gift list and what you’re going to get. If you’ve got one or more avid boaters in your life, you probably want to find them gifts that will suit their favorite pastime. Here are some excellent practical boat gifts for the mariner in your life that you can give all year round, for birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, or just because!

Equipment

Boaters always need gear, so make sure that your favorite seafarer is ready for anything with the right pieces of equipment. Some items they might need:

  • GPS unit
  • Binoculars
  • Compass
  • Fish finder
  • Anchor
  • Deck brush with attachments
  • Dry Bag

Things get wet easily when you’re on a boat, and we’ve all got personal items we’d like to keep dry and safe. Getting your favorite boater a dry bag will make sure that their phones, wallets, keys, and other necessities don’t get splashed or soaked. You can choose from many different sizes, too.

Wearable Art & Decor

Boaters also like to have nautical-themed items in their everyday lives to remind them of being out on the water. Look for scarves patterned with seashells, anchors, or maps, or buy them a snug wool watch cap to keep their head warm. If you know your favorite boater’s shoe size, look into getting them a nice pair of boat shoes, along with some novelty socks in a marine print.

You can also look into getting them some decorations for their boat that have a beachy theme. Just make sure not to get anything delicate that could easily break.
