Are you eagerly planning and dreaming of your next boat trip?
Remember the right gear can make all the difference between a smooth, enjoyable experience and a day on the water plagued with hassle and inconvenience. Whether you're navigating hidden coves or enjoying a tranquil day of fishing, being well-prepared maximizes fun and ensures safety for everyone on board.
We want to help you make the most of your time on the water, so check out our list of boat essentials, organized by different activities. Whatever your plans, here’s everything you need for a seamless and unforgettable day on the water.
If you’re still undecided on what boat you want, we have a helpful guide to choosing the right boat for your activity and lifestyle. This guide gets into the different types of boats - human-powered, inflatable, and speed boats - and the pros and cons of each option.
If your heart is already set on an inflatable boat for convenience and portability, we’re excited to tell you about our recently launched high-performance inflatable boats. The first is our E-Assist Motors which is a fantastic way to power your manual SUP or kayak adventures so you can go further and faster on your trips. It’s also a great leg up for beginners paddling with more experienced kayakers as they can keep up endurance-wise.
We also recently launched the Flywater, an ultra-durable inflatable kayak and micro-skiff hybrid. It’s speedy over shallow waters and can nimbly navigate tight waterways. You’ll love using it for stealth fishing or fun recreational boating for 1 to 2 people. It’s the world’s most rigid inflatable and is 3-5 X more rigid than typical inflatables on the market.
Now comes the fun part - stocking it up with all the gear and tech you need to maximize your fun while preventing any accidents on the water.
If you’re just getting started on boating, check out our How to Boat guide which covers how to boat, knot tying, etiquette, and safety tips.
These are the recommended boat must-haves for all activities so that you can get out on the water safely. While this list may be overwhelming, remember that most of these items can be used for years when cared for properly. Remember it’s important to regularly check and maintain your gear to ensure it's in good working condition before every trip.
Stock up on the items above to ensure your boating experience is safe, comfortable, and enjoyable.
On top of all these items, we have some specific accessories and must-haves depending on your boating activity.
