For Him

This list includes a few must-have safety items and practical boating gear for him. Whether you typically take on the role of a boat operator or a lookout, these items cover some of the most wished for gifts for recreational boaters.

Men's Life Jacket 
All individuals onboard your recreational vessel should wear a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket. There are many types of life jackets that can be worn. Give a gift that can save a life! 

 

Gear Bag
Gear Bags are a safe place to store anything from car keys to fishing equipment. It’s the perfect boating accessory for your co-worker, grandpa, brother, or friend!


Float Coat
It’s a cold-weather season! A float coat is a practical gift to share with those who spend time on the water. Float Coats act as a personal flotation device while also keeping you warm. Fishing, hunting, and paddling are all great activities to wear a float coat.

 

Sun Protection Clothing
Another great item for him is sun protection clothing items. Dressing properly for both cool and warm temperatures is an important safety measure all boaters should take.

Belt Type Inflatable Life Jacket
This personal flotation device is a lightweight option great for your next fishing or boating trip! Keep in mind you must be 16 years of age to use this style of life jacket.

 

Air Horn
Another essential boating safety piece is an air horn! Despite the size, an air horn is used to notify those around you in case of an emergency on the water.

 

Fire Extinguisher 
The U.S. Coast Guard requires you to have at least one B-1 marine fire extinguisher on your boat at all times. Add this to a boating safety gear gift box!

 

First Aid Kit
Keeping your boat operator and passengers safe should always be a priority! A first aid kit will help assist with any minor injuries while you’re out on the water.
