Need Gifts for a Boater In Your Life? We've Got Some Ideas...<\/h2><\/p>\n

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance someone close to you is REALLY into boating. Hey, we get it. Being on the water is an addiction, and it’s a lot healthier than some of the other addictions a person can have, so cut ’em some slack!<\/p>\n

3 Types of Boaters<\/h3>\n

There are basically three types of boaters out there:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Fishing<\/strong> – Whether its inshore or offshore fishing, these folks are on the water to catch the big one.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Water Sports<\/strong> – Skiing, wakeboarding, kneeboarding, etc, these folks live to shred water and get their adrenaline pumping.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Family Boating<\/strong> – These folks appreciate how water brings family together and love loading up the boat with as many family members as possible to make smiles and great memories.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Each of these three “types” has their own unique Top-5 Boating Gifts (listed below) since their interests are each unique. For instance, if you give a wakeboard to a fisherman, they’ll probably use it to clean fish on, whereas a wakeboarder might use a fishing pole gift as a tow line (with some really high pound test).<\/p>\n

    These folks are on the water for different reasons, so make sure you understand their passions and get them a gift to match!<\/p>\n

    Top 5 Boating Gifts For A Fisherman (or Woman)<\/h2><\/p>\n

    Here are the Top-5 Boating Gifts for a person who LOVES to fish:<\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    1. Give them X-ray vision with a good Fish Finder<\/strong>, like this Hummingbird wrist mount fish finder<\/a>\u00a0over on Amazon.<\/li>\n
    2. “Dear, could you please gut and filet those stinking fish right in the middle of our clean kitchen?”<\/em> are not words that you’ll ever hear spoken from the spouse of a fisherman.\u00a0A Portable Fish Cleaning Station<\/strong> like this one on Amazon<\/a> makes cleaning fish (outside the home) a snap. Pair up this gift with Cut Resistant Filet Gloves<\/a><\/strong> and you’ll also help your fishing friend\/family member avoid potential injuries while they’re cleaning their fish too (these two gifts might just save a marriage).<\/li>\n
    3. Marine Binoculars<\/strong> (like these Bushnells<\/a>) let them take a peak way into the distance to see what’s happening in the next cove.<\/li>\n
    4. Even if a lure is properly attached to a pole and stored, it’s still easy for a child, pet or even an adult to have a painful experience via those exposed hooks. Inexpensive and easy to attach,\u00a0Lure Wraps<\/strong>\u00a0(like these ones<\/a>)\u00a0eliminate that risk.<\/li>\n
    5. Tired of hearing complaints about that nasty old tackle box that holds water and ruins lures? Get ’em a Hydro Flow Tackle Bag<\/strong><\/a>. Also consider throwing in:\n
