Gift for sailors
Tips for original gifts for every captain and novice sailor.
Do you have someone in your circle who loves sailing under full sails and don't know what gift to buy them? This list of gifts for sailors will be properly appreciated by every mariner!
Not a captain yet? Then we definitely recommend buying a voucher for captain exams.
Or do they already have a captain's license? Then we recommend a sport cruise, which will thrill every sailor, on our new Seascape 27 boat, buy the voucher here.
1. Logbook
Every proper captain or skipper must have a logbook. It is an important element for sailing, where information about voyages is recorded. Retrospectively, the captain then has an overview of the position, weather, nautical miles sailed, in short, everything about the entire voyage.
2. High-quality gloves
Working with ropes is demanding, palms are stressed and injury can easily occur. If you take the rope from the water during mooring, there may be sharp debris on it and you can injure your bare hand. Gloves are therefore an ideal accessory for hand protection, even during routine repairs.
3. Headlamp
An absolutely essential accessory for night sailing. Ideally with a choice of lighting intensity. The possibility of red light is also excellent, as sharp white light is too dazzling.
4. Waterproof bag (backpack)
Definitely a great helper. When sailing to shore on a dinghy, the fear of getting money or a phone wet disappears. With a high-quality waterproof bag, you can even, for example, swim in the sea and your things will stay dry.
5. Drone
Videos and photos from a sailboat are enchanting. But everyone is even more captivated by shots from a drone with a camera. Video of a sailing yacht from above is priceless. A drone that doesn't mind water and is waterproof is ideal.
6. Powerbank
It is advisable to save electricity on a boat. Therefore, a powerbank is an excellent accessory. With its help, you can charge your mobile, GoPro, tablet, or other devices.
7. Knife
A sailing knife, or every man (sailor) should have a knife. The best option is a multifunctional one, which also hides, for example, a small screwdriver. It can come in handy in bad weather when it's necessary to quickly sail away and cut ropes, but also for routine repairs.
8. Book
Even if it's a "classic" gift, a true sailor likes to expand their horizons and educate themselves. You practically can't choose wrong. Just make sure the one you selected is missing from the captain's collection.
9. Ship model
Decoration for the living room? Why not? There are hundreds of beautiful models; you can choose from older models to the latest ones in various sizes. A 3D puzzle, for example, can also be great.
10. GoPro camera
Enhanced underwater shots or action shots from a sport ride – you can never have enough of those. With the camera, it's also possible to take interesting underwater photos.
11. Mobile phone holder
A mobile phone is an important part of monitoring the weather. With a mobile phone holder, which can be attached, for example, to the steering wheel, you make the captain's work easier.
