With the Holiday Season upon us (where did the year go?!), it’s time to celebrate your favorite boater (or give hints to your favorite crew members on gifts for the captain). With that in mind, we thought we’d share links to some of our favorite boating-oriented gift guides.
Sail Magazine Books and DVDs – Sail Magazine has pulled together a list of books and DVDs that represent a mix of fact, fiction and boating with furry friends. We’re personally looking forward to reading “The Ship Beneath the Ice”, providing firsthand detail on the Shackleton Expedition. See the list.
Boating Magazine Gift Guide – a broad mix of fifty nifty gift ideas for both sailors and powerboaters, representing a wide range of price points. Everything from flashlights to coolers to sunglasses are represented in this collection of practical ideas. Learn more here.
Discover Boating Gifts for Sailors – As we all know, sailors are a special breed. This guide includes practical gifts like noise-cancelling headphones and headlamps, gifts to gain knowledge as well as a fairly robust collection of marine electronics ideas. Read more here.
Popular Mechanics Boating Accessories Guide – while not a Holiday Gift guide in the traditional sense, this guide provides ideas about a range of gifts that every boater might need, from portable trash cans to buff-out pads to waterproof decks of cards. See the guide.
YachtWorld Holiday Gift Guide – the YachtWorld guide is a mix of the practical (Magma grills or 4 gallon solar showers) and the profligate ($200 video-enabled fishing lures or $20,000 James Bondian motorized snorkeling scooters). See the complete YachtWorld guide.
We hope one of these guides will help provide a hint for the perfect boating-oriented gift that will brighten the holiday season for your favorite captain or ship’s crew.
