FATHER’S DAY GIFTS FOR NAUTICAL DADS
Father's Day rolls around every year, and it presents a chance to show the dad in your life how much he means to the family.
If you are anything like us, you are on the lookout for something special to complement your dad's next day out on the highs seas. For the boating enthusiasts amongst us, we have cherry-picked a few select gifts that are sure to whet the appetite for adventure.
BOAT SHOES BY CROCS
Like it or not, there’s plenty of Dads who love their Crocs. And buying your Dad a pair of these surprisingly stylish boat Crocs is a win for Dad and for family members who have to be seen with him.
PERSONALISED CREW GEAR
Dad is sure to love a T-shirt with his boat name and maybe even a photo on it. Any leading boating apparel company will provide the option to create customised jackets and boating gear.
MARINE WATCHES
There’s plenty of good marine watches available for boating enthusiasts. If you want to impress Dad, look for one with features like a three-axis compass, barometer and one that can connect to a boating app, so he is always up to date with local tides data, sail racing data and fishing information.
A CANVAS PRINT OF HIS BOAT
What Dad isn’t going to appreciate a picture of his own boat printed on a large canvas. So head into Officeworks or over to their website and design Dad a print.
BINOCULARS
A good quality pair of binoculars is something Dad will keep for life, and there are a few different options to suit your budget. If you wanted to make the gift extra special, why not take it down to the local engraver and have his name or boat name etched on it.
SAILING SOCKS
Actually, I take back my comment about the socks! Any boating Dad would be thrilled with a pair of extra snug seafaring socks.
Even if you haven't found your own sea legs yet, getting your dad one of these gifts is sure to impress him. Don’t forget to tell Dad to log his trip with Deckee the next time he heads out, so he can get back home safely.
