Gift guides

Nov 21, 2025

For the men who appreciate practical gear, solid quality, and the occasional touch of luxe.

This guide is built for the guys who know what they like and want gifts that actually serve a purpose—whether that’s something for their boat or something for themselves. These picks are reliable, well-made, and chosen with the way water people live in mind. A mix of everyday essentials and a few nicer upgrades, all meant to make time on and off the water a little better.



The comfiest shoe for boat and land- OluKai

OluKai Ahi Shoe for men

"The comfiest shoe I have ever worn" - Logan

This sneaker was made for life on the water. The mesh upper keeps your feet cool and dries quickly, while the drainage holes make splashes less of a problem. The cushioned sole is comfortable even if you’re barefoot, and the grippy rubber outsole helps keep you steady on wet decks. Great for deck work, fishing, or walking a few miles to the grocery store.

Dry sack backpack- Mustang Survival

Mustang Survival 20L Dry backpack

No one wants a soggy laptop. A good dry bag is essential on a boat, and having your hands free when you’re climbing on and off the dock is a big win. This one keeps the important stuff dry and secure, and if you ever need extra room for gear, they also make a larger version that’s just as reliable.
