Choosing an appropriate gift for boaters can be a  fun and creative experience. Birthdays, graduations and Holidays are all great occasions to celebrate with a boating themed gift – here are a few ideas to get you going!

What to Wear: Have the boat’s name embroidered on a quality tee, hat or jacket; while you are choosing your design, consider stitching the same on a boat blanket . Matching boat shoes – whether for sailing or fashion – are another great choice. 

What to Read: Coffee table books full of images of boating or fishing; biographies of famous captains or divers; or novels about sailing will capture their attention. Subscriptions to fishing or boating magazines is a gift that will arrive on their doorsteps all year long.

What to Catch: For those who love fishing, high quality lures are an excellent gift. With a little research, you can determine what they fish for and what the best possible lure may be. Does your birthday boater enjoy the gift of surprise? Sign them up for a “Lure of the Month” club, and let a new design arrive every 30 days. A hi-tech fish finder is another gift that will pay off for years to come – and put those new lures to good use.

How to Play: Towable and inflatable toys are the fastest way to turn a serious boat into a floating playground! With enough selection for adults and children alike, a towable will bring the party to any excursion. To make sure that everyone can play without worry, a dry case will protectall their gadgets.

Where to Go: If it is in the budget, a dream vacation to a famous fishing spot  – places like Boca Grande, Florida for for tarpon; Massachusetts Bay for mako shark or Castaic Lake, California for large mouth bass – are iconic trophy fishing spots, and would be a dream vacation for your boater / angler. 

No matter what you decide to give, add in a Sign and Glide membership. It is affordable and may be the most useful gift yet, providing peace of mind every time your boater goes out on the water.
