Must-Have Boat Accessories

Summer is the perfect time to get out on the open water and enjoy some quality time with family and friends. But before you set sail, make sure you're prepared with these must-have boat accessories.

1. A Boat Cover

A boat cover is a great way to keep your boat protected from the sun and rain. By covering your boat, you'll be able to extend its lifespan and keep it looking great for years to come.

2. Life Jackets

Life jackets are essential for every passenger on every boat ride. If there will be any kids on board, and if it's been a while since your last boat ride, be sure to check the fit of the life vest. Kids can grow a surprising amount between summers and you don't want the life jacket to be too tight!

3. Flares

Flares are an important safety accessory to have on board in case of an emergency. Keep them in an easily accessible place so you can grab them quickly if needed.

4. First Aid Kit

No boat should be without a first aid kit. You never know when you might need it, so it's better to be safe than sorry. Be sure to stock your kit with items like bandages, antiseptic wipes, and pain relief medication.

5. A Bimini Top

Bimini tops provide shade for you and your passengers while you're out on the water. It can make a boat ride on a hot sunny day much more comfortable!
