There’s always something on the avid boater’s wish list and the holidays are the perfect time to give the ones in your life a present they can use to enhance their time on the water. From boating equipment to on-the-water toys, here are just a few gift ideas everyone who boats will love.

Electronic gifts are great for those who want to get the most out of boating.

A wireless waterproof speaker, underwater camera or a fish-finder can be exactly what they want for their vessel. This year everyone is talking about giving (and getting!) wi-fi internet service kits.

Marine apparel like sun-protection shirts, raincoats, or waterproof pants and accessories like polarized sunglasses, water repellent gloves, or sun hats are presents with a personal touch. A pair of water shoes are slip resistant and perfect for keeping your deck from scuff marks.

If their family enjoys cooking, an outdoor grill, foldable cutting board, heavy-duty cooler or storage containers for the boat could be an excellent way to enhance those long days on the water. A portable snack tray (or snackle box) is a favorite for entertaining on board.

In the just-plain-fun department, fishing gear or a new splash toy could be just the nautical-themed gift they need. From wakeboards and water skis to floats and towing inflatables, there are plenty of options to fit every kind of boating style. If lounging is their way of enjoying the water, a floating mat is always popular with the entire family.

Safety equipment can be a thoughtful and practical present. Some of the more popular ones like first aid kits, binoculars or life jackets are always appreciated. For a more unique idea, consider giving a personal locator beacon that can clip onto a lifejacket or clothing and will alert authorities if they need help.

And of course, every boater will benefit from the gift of a TowBoatUS membership. With free round the clock on-the-water emergency services 365 days a year, it’s the gift that keeps on giving. Give us a call today to order one for your special someone at 410-255-8700.  As always, happy to help!
