Here are a few gift ideas for the boaters on your list.
Fenders make a good gift. If the ones on board are worn and stained, they have done their job and it’s time to retire them. Look for the new color matching styles that will dress up the boat’s appearance.
A good waterproof chronograph with adjustable alarms, timers, and day and month calendar readouts provides many needs with just a glance.
Nautical jewelry designed by craftsmen including chains, anchors and fish with matching earrings and bracelets.
All boaters will enjoy a waterproof jacket. Make it a custom design with the boat’s name and color co-coordinated it to match the boat.
Dock lines may seem like a boring gift but they are needed by all boaters. Color-match the dock lines to the boat’s trim for a great accent.
A GPS unit can range from a simple hand-held to a dash-mounted, complex system incorporating many functions. Remarkably, smaller units may not offer as much information but can be just as accurate in determining position.
Navigational charts make a great gift. Paper charts are inexpensive, waterproof and tear resistant. Include charting tools such as plotters and protractors plus a waterproof container for storage.
It can sometimes be difficult finding that special nautical gift, so consider a gift certificate. The boaters on your list will also welcome a gift certificate to their favorite marine store.
