Your Best Friend

We are strong believers in the product that Boat U.S. provides. From Boat insurance, boat loans, MMSI registration, boat logo design to towing services.

I have been a member for 25 years and have used the MMSI registration services, which are easy to do. I have also been able to utilize the expert advice area to solve a number of questions and issues I have had over the years. I am also an unlimited towing customer, which gives me great piece of mind while out cruising. Although, I have never had to use it, I do know a number of people who have used their services with and without the insurance coverage. Those without  coverage have paid a dear price to get towed in.

Best Boat Grill

Magma cabo adventurer marine series gas grill, what to consider.

There are practical things you need to have on a boat, like an anchor and life vests and there are things you should have on a boat, like a first aid kit , but where boating really gets fun is how you accessorize your watercraft. With a boat—no matter how big or small—customization is king, whether you’re a speedboater, fisher, lake-cruiser, or wave-chaser. With these boat accessories, we’ve considered which tools you'll need to have on board and which accessories you'll definitely wish you had on board before you leave the dock.

The most important thing when thinking about accessorizing your boat is how will something be used. Is it something you need to have aboard for safety reasons, but hope you won't have occasion to use, like flares? Is it something that will only be used once or twice a season, like an onboard grill? Or is something that’s going to give everyone a lot of enjoyment?

We think there’s a great reason to have the needed things, obviously. But it’s also important to have some extra fun things aboard, especially if the boat you’re buying for is a fun boat and you’re bringing the friends and family out for a first-rate time. As such, we’ve identified some of the most practical things to have on board, as well as some of the most fun things to stow below deck.

How We Selected

We fathomed all manner of boating accessories and explored the depths of how people use their boats. We also thought about all the times we’d been on boats and didn’t have that one thing we were really hankering for, or to do. We used this to guide us on an even keel to pick these fun and practical accessories for boats and boaters.

For more great ways to say safe on your aquatic adventures check out our picks for the best adult life jackets , kids' life jackets , and dog life jackets .

• Brightness: 6000 lumens
• Rechargeable: Yes
• Waterproof Rating: IP67 waterproof
• Special Features: Red light filter

Even if your boat already has a spotlight, a great waterproof, handheld torch like this rechargeable 6,000-lumen light from Goodsmann is a great tool to have on board to for boating at night. You can use it to spot anything off the port or starboard side and it's great for helping you dock, too.

With 6,000 lumens, this spotlight will light up the heavens as well as depths below. Thankfully, it’s waterproof to 3 feet, floats, and has a leash in case you drop it overboard. The red light filter also is helpful for seeing things at night when you don’t want to shine too bright a light that could disturb wildlife or other people.

• Weight: 21 pounds
• Outer Dimension (L x W x H): 27 x 18 x 18 inches
• Inner Dimensions (L x W x H): 21 x 13 x 14 inches
• Capacity: 52 quarts
• Special Features: Can hold ice for up to 10 days

Yeti may have made coolers cool again, but they sure did make them expensive. This injection-molded, 52-quart cooler from RTIC is a less expensive option and can hold ice for up to 10 days; the divider and basket will also come in handy if you need to keep one side open for the fish you just caught and away from the beer, veggies, and burgers you brought—you know— just in case .

It’s rugged enough to take a beating and stay closed in a frothy squall. But the nonslip feet are a nice touch to help keep it from slipping around on the deck if you don’t have have it strapped down.

• Weight Capacity: Can support up to 3 adults and 510 pounds
• Weight: 30 pounds
• Dimensions (L x W): 86 x 74 inches

A towable tube is always fun on a boat, but it’s just—well—a tube, even if it’s dressed up with handles and a seat back. But the Big Ducky from WOW adds some whimsy and fun for anybody being towed in the wake, from kid to adult. The Big Ducky can haul up to three people and its wide platform makes it hard to flip over.

• Designed For: Adults 90 pounds and up
• Weight: 1.4 pounds

No matter how many people you have on board, it’s always good to have extra life jackets stowed away. The Stearns Classic life jacket may not be the most sporty, but they’re tried, true, and inexpensive. They’re intended for people 90 pounds and up and provide 15 pounds of float.

They’re also available in children’s and infant versions. They are Coast Guard-certified Type II life jackets, which are made for near-shore type boating.

• Screen Size: 4 inches
• Frequencies: CHIRP 50/77/83/200 kHz
• Special Features: Built-in GPS, scans to depths as deep as 1,600 feet

There are far more expensive, bigger-screened, and more full-featured fishfinders out there, but this compact offering from Garmin punches well above its 11.2-ounce weight. It’s a compact sonar mapping device with GPS capabilities for mapping wherever you are, and it's also got good clarity for imaging the fish around you.

• Designed For: Treating up to 6 people 6 hours from care
• Weight: 5.8 pounds
• Dimensions (H x W x L): 5.8 x 12 x 10.6 inches

Having a first aid kit is imperative for any boater—and having durable, waterproof, well-organized one, like the Marine 600 Medical First Aid Kit can help make a bad situation better. The kit includes pouches for different types of emergencies and an instruction manual to help you properly use the kit in a trauma situation. It also includes CPR and hypothermia care.

• Capacity: 65 liters
• Dimensions (W x L x H): 15 x 10 x 33.5 inches
• Material: 600D waterproof polyester
• Special Features: Removable, padded harness

This is more than just another dry pack. The Sea to Summit Hydraulic Dry Pack 65L is a durable, roll-top, waterproof dry sack that also happens to be a backpack with an easily removable harness. It is one our top picks for dry bags , and we love its versatility.

The pack is available in 35-, 65-, 90-, and 120-liter versions and is perfect for keeping your stuff safe and dry, whether you're packing for a solo day on the lake or multiple days out with friends and family.

• Dimensions (L x W x H): 4.5 x 4.5 x 8.5 inches
• Weight with Batteries: 0.8 pounds
• Special Features: Flashes USCG spec SOS signal for up to 60 hours

Of course you probably don't want to have occasion to use this US-made electronic flare, but if you do need to set off a flare, this is a much better alternative to shooting off pyrotechnic versions, which only last a short while. This beacon can signal for up to 60 hours, is visible for up to 10 nautical miles, and has a vertical light beam as well for aircrafts to see.

Eversprout 5-to-13 Foot Boat Hook & Scrub Brush Kit

• Length: Extends from 5 to 13 feet
• Weight: 1.5 pounds
• Special Features: Interchangeable hook and brush

A boat hook is a valuable tool to have on board any boat, whether you're using it for docking, grabbing rope in the water, or retrieving items that fall out of the boat. This floating Eversprout boat hook also comes with a brush attachment, making it easy to clean even hard-to-reach spots on your vessel.

• Grilling Area (L x W): 9 x 18 inches
• Weight: 11.7 pounds
• Materials: Stainless steel
• Fuel Source: Propane
• Special Features: Rail mountable

What’s better than spending a day on your boat? Cooking the fish you just caught off the side for dinner! The Magma Cabo may be compact, but its cooking surface has enough room to prepare a tasty meal for everyone you have aboard.

The stainless steel grill won’t corrode like other materials and it has a lockable lid to keep it secure in choppy water and to keep sea fowl—and the greedy fingers of your guests—out when you’re cooking!

2021 Fountain 42 Lightning

• By John Tiger
• Updated: July 27, 2021

Fountain’s Chief Operating Officer Jeff Harris jumps aboard our Fountain 42-foot Lightning test boat and hurries me to hop in. As we don our vests, he plugs in the fob that changes the tune on the Mercury Racing Dual Calibration sterndrives from 1,100 horses each to 1,350 each. Whoomph —they come to life. With a lumpy-cam lope, we fast-idle away from the Iconic Powerboats dock. Spinning 36-inch-pitch propellers, the slowest idle possible is about 7 mph.

Harris eases the go sticks forward; the turbos hiss and whine, and Fountain’s trademark droop-snout bow rises and then settles as we approach 40 mph at a mere 2,500 rpm. At the most economical cruise speed, the Mercury Racing engines loaf at 3,500 rpm—but speed is a ripping 71 mph, truly illustrating that old boast, “At cruise, we’re already faster than most boats will go.”

Winds are light. Chop is just under a foot. Time to go. Harris accelerates to 5,500 rpm as we rush toward 120 mph. He nudges the tachs over 6,000, and the GPS reads 131 mph. So far, the rush of wind and the roar of engines are the only clues we’re rolling so hard; the Fountain pad is locked in tight, and the boat is stable as a rock. But now, as Harris tickles the trim, tabs and throttle together in expert fashion, my butt cheeks get tight. The stern lifts and floats, ever so slightly. The hull dances. The GPS rapidly approaches 140 mph. At a steady indicated 138, Harris finally backs the trim and throttles down, looks over and says, “There’s more, but that’s enough for today.” How much more? I’d estimate at least another 3 mph, perhaps 5, with tweaking and seat time.

Some will wonder: How fast is fast enough? Just ask! Harris notes that a few have left the plant with the more powerful 1,350/1,550 packages and can top 160 mph.

Not many owners of this boat will complain about fuel consumption with a package like this. With its 218-gallon fuel cell, you could cruise for about 223 miles at 3,500 rpm. But remember: That equals 70 mph. Chances are you’ll be cruising at 2,500 rpm or less, with occasional bursts up the speed range. Handling is exactly what’s expected from a race-proven hull: Turns are tight and G-filled, and movements are quick and responsive to driver inputs. Here’s where we must advise, of course, that potential owners understand that things come up and happen quickly at the speeds the 42 Lightning can attain, and quick inputs from the pilot are needed to avoid getting into difficult situations. Keen situational awareness is a valuable sense to have when piloting such a boat.

Planing and acceleration? Zero to 30 mph took 9.5 seconds. Accelerating with this boat is not just a “grip it and rip it” affair; the spool-up of the big Merc mills takes a soft touch until the hull is planing and the props bite. After that, the only limiter on punch and speed is your nerve. The feel is not unlike that of a multi-engine aircraft in a high-performance takeoff: a smooth, forceful rush of power.

Construction? Fountain ranks in the top echelon of boatbuilders, and the Lightning is a fine example of the company’s prowess. The hull is a race-proven, hand-laid, bonded grid structure, with its sides, deck and inner liner made from composite-core materials. The guys who lay-up, assemble and rig these boats have been at it for decades, and they know how to do it right. Close inspection reveals nothing less.

Interior and Accessories

Our tester, headed to western US waters, featured an owner-ordered clean white finish complemented by a white interior, with medium-gray accents and RGB concealed rope lighting highlighting the cockpit. Aft seating boasts body-contoured triple buckets with “chicken straps” for passengers to hold when the pucker factor gets high. Pilot and co-pilot seating features retractable bolsters, and cup holders and grab rails on the back sides for those who want to stand behind and see the action firsthand. The vinyl upholstery is well-stitched and fitted cleanly, and should stand up to many years of use.

While you’re not going to spend the summer aboard the Lightning, a night spent on the water will prove comfortable for a couple thanks to a surprisingly roomy cabin belowdecks well-equipped pretty much any way the customer can specify, within reason. Our tester featured a cedar-lined hanging locker, a pull-out refrigerator, dual sinks, a portable head, wraparound cabin seating with a center table that converts to a bed, and optional air conditioning ($11,000).

The updates to this venerable warrior make it flow with the times, and the increased performance capability is astounding considering that less than a decade ago, these hulls were typically running right in the low 100 mph range with top power.

In the V-hull, ultra-performance sterndrive sportboat market, comparable hulls rigged for this kind of performance are scarce. However, Outerlimits’ SV-43 compares at 43 feet, 5 inches long and 9 feet wide, and runs comparable speeds with the same engine and drive packages. A typical SV-43 goes for about $1.1 million.

For the poker-run enthusiast and a performance-minded family, the 42 Lightning delivers in rarified air, while also providing a comfortable overnighter equally at home showing off its mind-bending capabilities or wowing the locals at the best lakeside restaurant. King of the lake doesn’t begin to describe this dude.

How We Tested

• Engines: Twin Mercury Racing Dual Cal 1,100/1,350 hp 9L (550ci) supercharged V-8s
• Drive/Props: Mercury Racing M8 racing sterndrives/Mercury Racing lab-finished 17″ x 36″ 6-blade lab-finished stainless-steel cleaver
• Gear Ratio: 1.33:1 Fuel Load: 100 gal. Crew Weight: 500 lb.

High Points

• Fountain used digital measuring equipment to redesign the hull so it’s more than capable at the increased speeds the venerable Mercury Racing mills provide.
• Hand-laid, stepped hull with a high-performance pad and a notched setback transom give the 42 Lightning solid handling at ultrasonic speeds.
• Rigging is executed in rugged offshore-racing style, making servicing easier and the engine bay a delight to show off to onlookers.
• While the 42 is fitted for multiple crewmembers, the tight confines of the cockpit and interior make it more of a couple’s boat—although, we suspect you’ll be tapped for thrill rides.

Top 15 Must-Have Boat Accessories for 2021

Walk into a boat accessories and supply store like West Marine , and you’ll be surrounded by aisle after aisle of awesome gear and gadgets for the upcoming boating season. So many, in fact, that it can be hard to choose which toys and goodies are must-haves and which are merely icing on your boating cake.

These top 15 boat accessories, however, stand out in the crowded 2021 marketplace as cool, useful items to bring aboard.

1. Taylor Made Super Gard Fenders

Whether you plan to raft up with some friends, tie up at a waterfront restaurant , or just protect that gleaming gel coat when you visit the fuel dock, having fenders aboard is a must (also, be sure to read Docking a Boat: Step-by-Step Guide for pro tips for stress-free docking).

Taylor Made Super Gard Fenders are available in a wide range of sizes and colors to match your specific boat, feature eyelets on both ends, and have easy-to-inflate valves.

2. Garmin GPSMAP 86sci inReach Handheld GPS

Whether you want a backup to your boat’s fixed navigational system or a portable GPS with full depth and navigation aid data, you’d think the GPSMAP 86sci would be a good pick. You’d be right, too, but there’s another component to this little handheld unit that makes it a must-have: it’s capable of inReach satellite texting via the Iridium satellite network.

Purchase the inReach subscription, and you’ll be able to send text messages straight from this handheld—and if need be, you'll also be able to send an SOS signal, anytime and anywhere.

Marine GPS for Boats: Understanding the Basics

3. West Marine Aluminum Boat Hook

Prevent those dangerously long reaches and off-balance grabs by keeping a West Marine Aluminum Boat Hook close at hand.

It telescopes from 4’5” out to 8’ (or 4’6” to 12’ for the longer version) so it’s easy to stow but extends your reach a long way. Plus the nylon head has a non-scratching tip, and if you drop it by accident there’s no worries because it floats.

4. Standard Horizon HX890NB Floating VHF/GPS

Having a backup communications device aboard is always a good idea, and with the Standard Horizon HX890NB you not only have a six-watt handheld VHF radio , you also get built-in GPS and basic navigational abilities like waypoint and route navigation functions.

This unit has a 66-channel WAAS GPS receiver, displays latitude and longitude on-screen, and thanks to the integrated GPS, it offers Digital Selective Calling functionality as well. These units are built to last too, with an IPX8 submersible waterproof rating and testing to military spec MIL-STD-810F standards.

5. Simrad GO9 XSE Fishfinder/Chartplotter Combo

If you need a new fishfinder/chartplotter aboard, it’s time to check out a Simrad GO9 XSE package.

Bundled with the Active Imaging three-in-one transducer (providing CHIRP fishfinder, side-scanning, and down-scanning views) and C-MAP Pro Discover digital charts, this all-in-one system will have you navigating to the hotspots and hooking up with the big ones in no time.

How to Use a Fishfinder

6. Rule Dry Bilge Pump

A bone-dry bilge a thing of dreams for most boaters, because the average bilge pump simply can’t get out that last bit of water. Rule’s new Dry Bilge Pump takes you a big step closer to moisture-free, because this pump clears out the bilge to 1/8th of an inch or less.

It’s self-priming to 9.5’, has a 360-degree rotating pump head for easy installation in any situation, and rids your boat’s bilge of four gallons of water per minute.

7. Moeller 6 Gallon Ultra6 Portable Fuel Tank

When you need to carry fuel to the boat, having a Moeller Portable Fuel Tank makes that task a whole lot easier. Of course it’s EPA/CARB compliant, and its uniquely designed for easy and stable storage, even in tight places.

Added bonus: this gas can is made in the USA.

Choosing the Right Fuel & Oil for Your Marine Engine

8. West Marine Waterproof 3000-Lumen Rechargeable LED Spotlight

Be prepared when the sun goes down  by having a West Marine Waterproof Spotlight aboard. This rechargeable gem lasts for up to three hours on high power, and over seven hours in SOS-mode.

When they say “waterproof” they mean it, and this spotlight not only meets IP67 specs (which means it can be submerged to about three feet for up to 30 minutes and still work), but it also floats.

9. Lifesling2 Overboard Rescue System

The Lifesling2 is more than just a floatation device with 21-pounds of buoyancy, it’s a true Overboard Rescue System consisting of a horseshoe buoy/rescue sling with 125’ of polypropylene line.

Unlike regular throwables, it can be towed to a crew member, and even used to hoist them aboard.

Boat Safety Checklist & Safety Equipment List

10. Orion Floating Locator Electronic SOS Beacon Kit

You need to outfit your boat with all the required safety gear, but you can take those old-style pyrotechnic flares off the list by instead getting an Orion Floating Locator Electronic SOS Beacon Kit.

Along with the waterproof floating electronic beacon (which can flash an SOS that’s visible for three nautical miles), the kit includes an orange distress flag for daytime signaling. With one of these kits and a fresh pair of D-cell batteries, you’ll never have to remember to replace those expired flares again.

11. West Marine Three Layer Water Carpet

What could be more relaxing than unrolling one of these floating foam mats, and lounging next to the boat? The Three Layer Water Carpet comes in three different sizes, the largest of which can support up to six adults and 900 pounds.

They’re outfitted with grommets so you can tie them off next to the boat and enjoy care-free fun afloat, and webbed cinch straps makes it easy to roll them back up and stow them away at the end of the day.

8 Cool Things to Have on a Boat

12. Elide Fire Extinguishing Ball - COMING SOON

Just like having a fire extinguisher on hand in your home, the same idea should be applied to your boat. You can boost your fire-suppression savvy by adding an Elide Fire Extinguishing Ball to your boat. Mounted in an engine room or cabin, if open flame touches a Fire Extinguishing Ball within three to five seconds it will activate and disburse a non-toxic dry chemical fire-fighting agent.

You can also remove a Fire Extinguishing Ball from its mount and throw or roll it into an open fire, to suppress those flames.

13. BlackTip Seven Piece Angler Fishing Kit

Avid anglers need reliable tools—and that's exactly what you'll get with the BlackTip Seven Piece Angler Fishing Kit. This kit comes with all the fishing tools you need contained in a zippered storage case. Open it up and you’ll find a bait knife, a fillet knife, marine shears, a de-hooker, fishing pliers with line cutters, and a tape measure.

The knife blades are made with Japanese 420J2 nonstick stainless-steel, all the tools have nonslip handles, and the shears even have a serrated edge you can use for scaling the fish before you fillet them.

How to Fish: Fishing Tips for Beginners

14. West Marine 70-Quart Premium Marine Cooler

Fill this Premium Marine Cooler with ice, and it will last up to a whopping 10 days. At just under three feet long and a hair over a foot and a half wide, you’ll find 70-quarts of interior capacity inside its roto-molded polyethylene sides.

It’s also built with a serious eye to quality, including 316-grade stainless-steel hardware, a refrigerator-grade gasket, a tethered drain plug, and rope handles with grips. Plus, there’s a ruler embossed on the lid for measuring your catch.

15. Third Reef Foul Weather Gear

Boaters need to be prepared for sudden rain or flying spray , and there’s no better way to outfit your boat than with Third Reef foul weather gear. There are Third Reef bibs to pair with the jackets, both of which are 100-percent polyester, waterproof, and wind-resistant.

This foul weather gear is also reinforced at critical wear points, and has reflective patches added for extra safety in low-light situations.

What Other Boat Accessories Are On Your Wishlist for 2021?

Is there other boating gear that’s likely to catch your eye, the next time you find yourself meandering down the aisles of sealants, safety gear, and sailcloth? Of course there is.

We could expand this list to at least 150 accessories and barely scratch the surface of all the nautical knick-knacks we’d love to have. But this list of 15 top picks is a great place to start, and whichever ones you might choose to outfit your own boat with, will surely help you cruise into the 2021 boating season with a smile.

Top 10 Must-Have Boat Accessories for 2022

Table of Contents

Every experienced boater knows that the boat is just the beginning. Whether you’re just renting a boat for the day , or you own your own boat , having some smart boat accessories and boat gadgets on board can turn a good day on the water into an epic one.

Boat gear and gadgets are like any other kind of accessory or supply item: some are truly must-have, while others are gimmicks that will just take up space. Not to mention, how you want to use your boat will affect the kinds of accessories and gadgets you ultimately keep on board—whether that’s spending time fishing, .

Here’s a look at what most boaters think about when creating their shopping list of the best boat accessories and must-have gadgets for the 2022 boating season:

• Waterproof dry bags
• GoPro camera
• Personal locator beacon
• Portable solar charger
• Yeti cooler
• SubSafe containers
• Marine grade boat grill
• Portable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker
• Shatter-resistant drinking glasses
• Outdoor blankets

Let’s dive into some of the best options for each of these 10 items, which you can find at a variety of different recreational retailers.

1. Waterproof dry bags

When you’re in an environment where everyone and everything is wet, you need a place to keep stuff like smartphones dry. This is where a couple of good-quality dry bags come in.

Dry bags are just what they sound like: waterproof bags that seal to keep things dry. They come in different sizes, so you can stuff everything from your driver’s license to a T-shirt into them, and they’re made in submersible and non-submersible styles. The non-submersible bags are usually tough enough to withstand splashing on board, and they generally cost less than submersible bags.

A great place to shop for good dry bags is with shops that outfit surfers and scuba divers.

• Body Glove has a selection of dry bags in sizes that range from cellphone to backpack.
• Divers Direct sells a mix that includes three-packs of dry bags in different sizes.

Photo Courtesy: GoPro

2. GoPro Camera

Many good cameras and smartphones have died a watery death after getting wet or going overboard during a day out on the boat—taking all those great photo memories with them. Nobody wants to suffer that fate, which is why a GoPro camera is the best option for capturing photos and videos out on the boat.

• GoPros are waterproof digital cameras that can be handheld, wrist-carried or mounted on everything from the boat itself to kayaks and paddles.
• They shoot still photos as well as video—in slow-motion or regular motion, with video stabilization, and with other bells and whistles that help eliminate blurriness aboard moving boats that themselves are atop moving water.
• If you’re using a boat for snorkeling, GoPros can go overboard alongside the fins and masks, then resurface to be used on dry land.

These cameras are versatile and durable, and make it virtually impossible to lose memories of a day out on the boat.

3. Personal locator beacon

If you’ve read our Boat Safety Equipment Checklist , covering both required and recommended items to have onboard , then you probably have a good understanding that safety should always be top of mind whenever you’re on the water. A personal locator beacon is a great safety gadget for any style boater, and can be especially helpful if you’re bringing new people on the boat who feel a little nervous cruising away from shore for the first time.

These beacons are individual tracking devices that let rescuing authorities find you in an emergency. They’re small enough to be clipped onto a pair of shorts or a life jacket, and they provide real peace of mind in virtually any scenario.

• Ocean Signal , Garmin , and ACR Electronics all make reliable personal locator beacons that can be used not only on the boat, but also during a day out hiking or biking in wooded parks or other off-road locations.

These must-have boat gadgets are versatile, and if you experience a serious problem or get lost, they can be actual life-savers.

4. Portable solar charger

We all know the dreaded feeling of watching a smartphone drain down to 10 percent, then 5 percent, then 1 percent battery life when we’re in a place with no option for recharging. This is the time for a portable solar charger, which can be set up anywhere—turning a boat, a beach or an island campground into a spot for rejuvenating the digital juice.

• GoalZero makes portable solar chargers that have USB ports so you can plug in everything from a smartphone to a tablet.
• These chargers have multiple panels that fold for easy stowage or carrying, and they’re small enough when folded up that they can be attached to a backpack without adding a lot of weight.
• The largest models can run a portable refrigerator.

5. Yeti cooler

Yeti makes coolers that hold up in freshwater or saltwater conditions. These coolers come in various sizes, styles and colors.

A pro tip for coolers aboard boats: Get the soft-sided ones, because as you take stuff out throughout the day, the cooler takes up less and less space on board, and becomes easier to stow by folding it up and placing it under a seat or in a side compartment. You can’t do that with a hard-sided cooler that’s the same size even when it’s completely empty.

The soft-sided coolers that Yeti sells are sized for everything from a single lunch on a kayak to a family day of fun on a boat. Some of the soft-sided coolers can be carried like backpacks, making them easier to toss into a dinghy and take ashore for lunch on the beach.

Photo Courtesy: SubSafe

6. SubSafe containers

If you’re packing a cooler full of sub sandwiches, the last thing you want is for them to end up soggy and mushy in a melting pile of ice by the time you’re ready to eat. SubSafe containers are watertight and crush-resistant, so they protect your pastrami and provolone even if it gets buried underneath an avalanche of cubes and cans.

• SubSafe containers have a three-piece design that lets them hold either a 6-inch or a 12-inch sub. The containers float if wet hands drop them overboard, and they’re dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning once you get home.
• What’s more, after you’re done eating your sub, these containers can double as a spot to keep everything from car keys to sunglasses dry.

7. Marine grade boat grill

If you prefer your onboard lunch to be hot, then a portable boat grill is the way to go. You’ll want a marine-specific grill like the ones that West Marine sells because out on the water, home-style charcoal grills are useless. The charcoal briquettes can’t withstand the marine environment. You need a portable gas grill—and, ideally, one made to be attached to the boat so it doesn’t tip over if the boat gets hit by a wake and starts rolling from side to side.

• Magma is a brand that makes boat-ready grills as well as the mounts to keep them safe on board.
• Magma also makes tabletop legs, so you can take the grill from the boat to a picnic table ashore and set it up there.
• The mounts that connect the grill to the boat can be removable or permanent, attaching to either a rail or a flat onboard surface (depending on how often you plan to grill on board).

8. Portable, waterproof Bluetooth speaker

Many boats come with built-in stereos and speakers, but some are better than others, and none of them can be picked up and carried onto a kayak or the beach. Hence the need for a portable Bluetooth speaker as a must-have boat accessory . JBL is brand of choice for this purpose.

• The JBL Go 3 is waterproof and dustproof, which means it will continue to crank out the tunes even if it gets plopped onto a spit of sand.
• It will wirelessly connect to any device with Bluetooth.
• It plays for five hours on a single charge.
• And, it comes in fun colors that range from bright red to camouflage.

Photo Courtesy: Bed Bath & Beyond

9. Shatter-resistant drinking glasses

We’re all trying to reduce our use of single-use plastics and aluminum cans, but on a boat, traditional glasses are a hazard because they can break and cut bare hands and feet. Shatter-resistant glasses come in all kinds of sizes and styles today.

• Bed Bath & Beyond sells a wide variety of “unbreakable” glasses for use on the boat or by the pool.
• There are wineglasses with or without stems, pilsner beer and old-fashioned glasses, and good ol’ 12-piece assorted sets that will hold everything from soda to iced tea.
• Some are tumblers with lids that can be ideal aboard boats where you plan to cruise fast for much of the day.

Photo Courtesy: L.L. Bean

10. Outdoor blankets

Beach towels are always one of the best boat accessories to have onboard—and oversized beach towels are even better: They can double as makeshift blankets at the end of the day when everyone is wet and tired and starting to get a chill as the sun sinks low in the sky. But the best thing to have in that moment is an outdoor blanket, the kind that can also be used during camping and RV trips.

• L.L. Bean makes waterproof outdoor blankets with soft polyester-fleece surfaces that are also durable enough to handle everything from a splash to wet grass.
• They come in a selection of fun colors and patterns, and can be ordered in extra-large sizes so a couple of kids can tuck under them while mom and dad pack up all the other boat accessories and set a course for home.

The best times to buy furniture in Lyubertsy to get the best deals:

• For indoor furniture, the best times to buy and save are in January, July, and during holiday weekends. Retailers often offer discounts during these periods to clear out old stock before introducing new styles in February and August. Similarly, Presidents Day and Labor Day weekends are great for sales.
• Outdoor furniture is more affordable during the summer months, especially around the 4th of July when many retailers offer discounts.

If you are planning a home remodeling project and intend to buy new furniture, it’s essential to time your purchases strategically. Buying furniture too early might lead to storage issues and increased chances of damage during the remodeling process. On the other hand, waiting too long could leave you with limited options and potential delays in completing your project.
