Boating offers time outside, irreplaceable experiences with loved ones and deluxe ways to relax. Whether you’re an avid fisherman, a water sports lover, a boat enthusiast or just someone who enjoys time out on the water, there are ways to make your experience just a little bit sweeter. 

Boat and outdoor lovers from coast to coast can all use a little bit of luxury for their day out on the water, but it can be overwhelming to find the best ways to do so. We are here to help! Our team of boating enthusiasts created a comprehensive list of eight products that are worth investing in to make time on the water (or the dock) even more unforgettable. 

  1. Dock Seating To Increase ComfortThere is a person sitting on a dock bench looking at their phone. There is a house behind the person at the base of the dock and water surrounds the dock.

    Your dock doesn’t just have to be a place to get on and off the boat — you should be able to use it day in and day out, even if you’re not planning on taking the boat out for a ride!

    If you find yourself wanting to spend more time enjoying your dock, then it is time to think of it as an extension of your outdoor living space! By adding a built-in bench or other custom marine furniture to your dock, you’re giving you and your family another place to relax, eat meals and gather outdoors comfortably!

  2. Life Vests That Pairs Safety and StyleA person wearing sunglasses and a blue life vest is rowing in a blue kayak near a boat dock.

    Boating, kayaking, jet skiing, tubing, kneeboarding, waterskiing and wakeboarding are all fun water activities, but it’s important to keep safety in mind. Wearing life vests is one simple way to protect you and your friends on a day out on the water. 

    But don’t worry — the days of the old, neon orange life vests are over! To amp up your safety style, invest in top-quality safety gear! Personalized life jackets and buoys with your family name are a great investment to keep track of your equipment and enhance the entire family’s experience.

  3. Fishing Equipment To Improve PerformanceTwo fishing poles in their stands sit on the corner of a boat dock. A tackle kit sits next to the rods.

    Tired of using the same old fishing gear that’s been in your garage for years? We don’t blame you! Whether you’re a beginner or an avid fisherman, investing in high-quality fishing gear is advantageous for your catching success. 

    From rods and rod holders to lines and reels to weights and lures to hooks and nets, you can decide to replace it all at once or go piece by piece, depending on the age and shape of your gear. You can also invest in a tackle box or bag to keep all your equipment organized and centralized, making it quick and easy to grab your gear and get out on the water. 

  4. High-Quality Coolers For Enjoyable Beach DaysA person wearing a blue shirt and shorts walks along a pier and is pulling a cooler on wheels behind them.

    Plan for longer days out on the boat by bringing a reliable cooler. A durable and premium quality cooler is a must have for your days out — it’s important to stay hydrated and keep your snacks cool while on the water! 

    Choose from traditional coolers, rolling coolers, backpack coolers, cooler bags and more to add convenience to your boat day. And oftentimes, high-quality coolers come with warranties, ensuring you have a long-lasting solution for many boat days to come.

  5. Polarized Sunglasses For Increased Protection

    Summertime is all about relishing in the sunny days out on the water, but it’s hard to enjoy the bright outdoors if you’re squinting all day long! 

    Upgrade your everyday shades to a pair of polarized sunglasses for your days out on the boat! Polarized sunglasses bring numerous benefits to boat lovers besides just looking stylish — they provide imperative eye protection, allow boat drivers to clearly identify sandbars and different water depths, let fishermen spot fish easier and prevent glare for increased comfort and visibility.

  6. Speakers To Make Beach Days a Blast

    No boating experience is complete without a good soundtrack, and having a waterproof Bluetooth speaker makes it easy to bring the party onshore or along for the boat ride! Ranging in sizes, these speakers are great for boat lovers who want a quick and easy music experience.Don’t feel like carrying a speaker around or worrying about having enough charge to last the whole day? A marine audio system might be the solution for you! Installed into your boat and having both radio and Bluetooth capabilities (depending on the installed solution), marine speakers make any day out on the boat a party. 

  7. Cleaning Kits and Supplies For Easy Dock CareA man cleans rust stains on a deck surface with a rust stain remover and a white cloth.Investing in a proper cleaning kit not only makes it easier to care for your dock but it can also increase your dock’s lifespan. Instead of going through trials and errors on what products clean and maintain your dock the best, invest in an entire cleaning kit designed for your specific decking material.

  8. Luxury Decking To Elevate Dock DesignsTitan Deck dock decking is pictured. There are two boats on lifts and a wooden bench on the dock.

    High-quality, low-maintenance decking is another luxury that is usually overlooked. Instead of investing in numerous maintenance supplies, you could invest in a premium yet maintenance-free deck material like polypropylene plastic. 

    This type of marine dock decking does not require ongoing treatment to retain its waterproof qualities and will not rust or warp like other deck and dock materials. Plus, it also won’t scorch your feet or give you splinters so it’s the perfect material for those who prefer using their dock as a lounging area.

    Not to mention, polypropylene decking brings form and function to any deck design, adding a beautiful look to any dock while remaining user-friendly for years to come.
