2. Sperry's Boat Shoes

sperry's boat shoes

At Le Boat we recommend that boaters pack a good pair of white-soled boat shoes for their holiday and when you think boat shoes, you think Sperry. We love Sperry boat shoes because they are designed to prevent slips and falls on boat decks and their timeless styles, for both men and women, are perfect for a summer boat trip.  Pro-tip: White-soled shoes won’t make marks on the boat deck.

3. Quick Dry Travel Towel

When you are planning what to pack on your boating holiday, we always suggest extra beach towels for laying out on the deck. A quick dry towel is even better for boating! We like this PackTowl Luxe Quick Dry Microfiber Towel because it holds 5x its weight in water and will keep boaters dry on their trip!

4. Sun Protection Hats

sun hats

We can’t stress enough how important it is for boaters to stay safe from the sun. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and sun hats are key. We love these stylish and protective hats from Eddie Bauer and Tilley and so will they!

5. Soft Travel Bag

For those embarking on a boating holiday, we always suggest that they pack in soft luggage, because storage can be tight onboard your cruiser. That is why you should get your boater this No Matter What Duffel by Eagle Creek. This bag is durable, water-resistant, lockable and has plenty of room for everything they need for the trip! 

 

Find it at Amazon.ca

 

6. Yeti Travel Mug

Who doesn’t love a Yeti Tumbler?! They keep coffee warm all day and cold drink colds in the summer. We recommend this versatile tumbler that is big enough for their extra-large morning brew or their afternoon cold pint! A perfect travel companion for the boater in your life.

7. Rain Jacket

We always wish our boaters the perfect sunny conditions on their holiday, but unfortunately, we can’t keep that rain away sometimes. Make sure your boating loved-one is dry and comfortable in these high-quality rain jackets, for both men and women, from Hally Hensen.

8. Pet Life Jacket
