As the year comes to a close and the season of gift-giving is right around the corner, we’ve compiled what we believe to be the ultimate package of gifts for people who enjoy boating and fishing. We’ve included some really useful and highly practical gifts that will come in hand on the boat, from some of the latest and greatest in onboard electronics and weather-ready clothing to trusty tools that help with the daily grind.
We’ve broken down the gift options into three categories: owner, captain and mate. However, we’re pretty sure all of the categories are going to overlap. Because, really, why not splurge a little?
