Gift Ideas for Boaters and Sailors
Here is a selection of small but bright and valuable things we can recommend being in yachting for 19 years.
Boating and sailing are more than just a hobby, it's a lifestyle. And for those who live and breathe the nautical life, finding the right gifts can be a challenge. But never fear, we're here to help.
Whether you're looking for something special for the boat lover in your life, or you're a sailor yourself searching for that perfect addition to your vessel, we've got you covered.
Floating sunglasses strap
The best thing about this product is that it can be used on any type of glasses or sunglasses, not just those designed for sailing. It's bright, and yes, it floats - so the owner won't drop and lose glasses overboard (again). It's an excellent gift for anyone who loves being on the water, whether they're sailing, fishing, or just enjoying a day out on the boat.
Unbreakable boat dishes
Ordinary glass and ceramics dishes are usually not welcome aboard - there are too many options to get them broken and need to clean up small and sharp pieces from hard-to-reach places on the boat. Metal dishes make a sound on the waves and may get crooked. Instead, get unbreakable dishes made of wheat straw fiber - they're just as lovely to look at, compact in storage, and make no sounds. Colors may be bright or calm - as you prefer 🙂
Waterproof Phone Case
Most of us can't imagine going anywhere without our phones, and that includes boating trips. But standard phone cases won't cut it on a boat - they need to be really waterproof and durable. Look for an IPX8 case, which will protect your phone from water, dust, and even drops, and fits any modern smartphone model. With the right case you can be sure your phone is safe on the deck, and you can also use it while swimming or touring around.
Microfiber towels
Have you ever forgotten a towel on a short boat trip, and then the weather is great and the crew decides to make a swimming stop? Or met a case when your towel is still wet when you need it again? Microfiber towels are essential for anyone who loves being on the water. They're super absorbent, dry quickly, and, what's essential on a boat, take up very little space when packed. They're perfect not only for drying off after a swim but also for wiping down the deck after a day of sailing and they come in a variety of sizes and colors!
