3 - First aid kit - Sure, it may not be the sexiest gift you can get somebody, but if something were to ever happen to anyone on the boat, it is definitely appreciated to have on hand. Boating is the type of sport that can be quite dangerous with hooks and reels and even the wildlife. It is always better to be prepared then to be in an unfavorable situation with no fix. Plus, by buying your loved one a first aid kit, it not only shows that you care about their well-being, but it also shows that you are interested in keeping them safe when they are not with you.

4 - New water life vests - these are something that many people and boaters can’t have enough of. In many places throughout the U.S., it is required by law for every person on a boat have a life vest for themselves somewhere on the boat. They don’t have to be wearing it at all times, but if they get pulled over by the lake police, one of the first things that they count are the number of people on the boat and they almost immediately compare it to the number of life vests on the boat. By always having an adequate number of vests on board, this will greatly reduce the chance of ever receiving a ticket.

There are so many gifts to give to somebody who loves boating, the best thing you can do is to keep your eyes and ears to any hints or clues that your loved one may give off!
