Boating Gifts for Her

Whether the lady in your life is an avid sailor, boating enthusiast, or the lucky one who sits back and enjoys the great outdoors on the water while boat owners do all the work! Listed below are the best gifts that will suit her!

Dry Bags

A waterproof Dry Bag like the one pictured above will keep all your loved ones’ belongings dry and safe “all in one place.”

This a great gift idea. It is made well and will last a long time. It is easy to grab and take to shore or for an overnight stay at the lake house. The one pictured above comes in some awesome colors – check them out for yourself.

Hats

Sun protection from the long hours on the water and ashore is a must. I will always go for the widest brim possible; the one pictured above is great.

As you can see, it almost covers the shoulders. A heap of colors and different styles of ties are available. Fold-able Roll-up Beach Sun Hat – 50+.

While the first hat looks great for any day on the water, this safari cap is a good idea for when you are in the water, fishing, or relaxing. It is tough, quick-dry, and will stay on with the under-chin adjustable cord.

Eyes

As the name suggests these sunglasses are called Foldies, they have classic stainless steel look rims and I love them. Small and easy to carry around.

  • Metal Frames
  • 7-Layer HepTEK Polarized Lenses block 100% of UVA and UVB rays
  • Scratch-resistant
  • Cleaning cloth and carry case included
  • Warranty

This classic shape is awesome for days on the water because the wide lens covers the eyes so that it stops squinting – then wrinkles.

Inexpensive, polarized 100% UV protection coating and a branded case to keep them safe.

Hands

An essential boating gift is a high-quality pair of gloves. When boating, fishing, or sailing, your friend will need some type of gloves either to carry out activities aboard the ship or to keep warm. These gloves, available in different sizes, will allow her to carry out any activities required on the water.

Footwear

Boat lovers trust these onboard barefoot sandals. You are going to want a pair of these shoes for yourself. They are suitable for many activities, from yoga to kayaking and everything in between. The list of water-related activities these shoes are suitable for is amazing.

Lightweight, comfortable, great grip, water-resistant, and fast-drying. The Z-style strap across, which sits on the top of the foot, securely holds the foot and shoe together. Three colors, check them out for yourself.

Sun Protection

A sun shirt like the one pictured above gives a high level of sun protection, dries quickly, and the white stripes look great. This rash vest has been designed for water sports with high neck protection as well as the protection of the hands from the sun.

It can be carried around so it can be utilized quickly. Sometimes, you end up being exposed to the sun longer than expected, and quick protection is required.

KEEPING WARM ON THE WATER

If you want to help keep your lady warm on the water, then she’ll need lots of warmth in her clothes and nautical women’s accessories. The following are some great ideas.

Beanies

A knitted beanie is a perfect accessory for any lady on the water. Tightly knitted beanies are a must for the outdoors. They can be worn under a hoodie or hat, pulled down over the ears and face. 

These hats are available in different colors and patterns, so she can match her hat to whatever outfit best matches her mood or style! Check them out for yourself.

Weatherproof Jackets

A weatherproof jacket is a perfect gift, and it is something she really needs. So you’ll need to think about what kind of jacket would suit both dry land and wet seaside adventures. You know that waterproof jackets are all the rage this season. No one wants their clothes soaked in saltwater! There is no better way to keep dry.

PERFECT NAUTICAL GIFTS FOR HER TO ENJOY AT HOME

Understandably, you may not want to buy clothing and accessories for your friend.  I have looked around and found some great gift ideas that will bring her love of boating and the water into her home for her to enjoy every day.

Drinks Coasters

An easy way to achieve the beach house look at home is to add some nautical look coasters. The absorbent stone coasters pictured above absorb sweating or spilled drinks. They are also cork-backed to protect your furniture from those rings we get from drinks.

Vase

A handmade vase in a gorgeous blue, such as the one above, would be treasured. The shape is perfect for holding any bouquet of flowers. The cobalt blue vase pictured above is made in Europe and was made using the hand and mouth-blowing method.

Dinnerware

I love this fresh-looking aqua and white dinner set. Even on the worst weather day at home, it will bring a sunny, warm feeling to any meal.

Wall Art

Personalized gifts are always welcome. This wall art with nautical themes looks good anywhere in a home.

This compass will go on any wall inside the house but would look equally as good on a patio or in the garden.

Everyone needs an anchor in their home to keep them from drifting away. Same as the compass above, equally as good indoors or outdoors.

Travelling Drink Tumbler

They come in all shapes and sizes, and they seem to love nothing more than biting your arms and legs when you can’t swat them away. Citronella candles help keep them away while outside.
