Summer boating season is almost here! Now is the time to organize your boat for summer fun. A well-prepared boat means more fun and less stress. From smart storage solutions to comfort upgrades, these tips will ensure you’re ready to hit the water.
Declutter and Maximize Space
- Use waterproof storage bins to keep items dry and organized.
- Install under-seat storage for life jackets, tools, and extra ropes.
- Hang hooks and nets to store small accessories like sunglasses, sunscreen, and hats.
- Secure loose items to prevent them from shifting during travel.
Looking for extra seating and storage? Our sleeping pads provide a comfortable place to sit or sleep.
Upgrade Your Boat for Comfort
Long days on the water require comfortable seating and shade. Worn-out cushions make boating less enjoyable. For instance, refresh your boat with custom upholstery for a stylish and durable upgrade. High-quality upholstery resists sun damage, mold, and mildew, keeping your boat looking great all season.
Additionally, sun protection is also important. A bimini top or Wakeshade shade extension keeps you cool while you relax. With more shade, you can enjoy the water longer without worrying about sunburn or overheating.
Stock-Up on Must Have Gear
Next, prepare your boat with the right gear to stay safe and comfortable. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Safety Equipment: Life jackets, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, and emergency whistle.
- Navigation Tools: GPS, maps, and a compass for safe travel.
- Entertainment: Waterproof speakers, fishing gear, and inflatable water toys. Need some covers for your speakers? We’ve got ‘em!
- Food and Drinks: A stocked cooler with plenty of water and snacks.
Keep Your Boat Clean and Well-Maintained
Regular cleaning and maintenance keep your boat looking great and running smoothly. After each trip, rinse the exterior to remove salt and debris. Use marine-safe cleaners to protect surfaces and prevent buildup. Also, check upholstery for wear and clean it with mild soap and water to extend its lifespan. Proper care now prevents costly repairs later.
