Celebrate Captain Dad on Father's Day!

Celebrate Captain Dad on Father's Day!

He's the Captain. He's the Navigator, Chief Mechanic, and Grill Master. But the most important job of all? Dad! And a Boat Dad is the Best Dad. Our Father's Day Collection features items to celebrate the paternal men in your life up to 20% off.

Memories are made on the water. Often it's the skipper's (Dad's) job to ensure everyone has a good time and arrives safely at the end of the day or journey. Usually the thanks Captain/Dad gets is in the form of satisfied, happy faces. Which is enough! We decided to take that one step further, however, and made a collection of 12 items that show just how much you appreciate everything he does.

FATHER'S DAY COLLECTION

From coffee cups and a magic mug that spell BEST DAD with signal flags, to an insulated wine tumbler (that works great for any hot or cold beverage) with Captain Dad etched on it, the Dad in your life will always njoy taking sips of his favorite drinks.

There's even a very cool maple cutting board for Captain Dads who are the vessel's resident grill master, and for those that also do double duty in the galley.

Two shirts, a short sleeve and a 3/4 sleeve raglan/baseball style, also proudly spell out BEST DAD in signal flags. A soft cotton long sleeve shirt boldly exclaims Dad's credentials on the back.

New this year is our multi-colored, multi-function LED Captain Dad sign. Laser etched onto clear acrylic, this super cool sign/trophy announces what his family thinks of him with a remote that selects 16 colors and multiple modes. Plug in with the included USB cable or alternatively power with 3-AAA batteries (batteries not included).

Of course, as always, we have Boater TESTED Gift Cards in $30, $50, $100, and $250 increments so Dad can pick out what he'd like for himself or the boat. And if you have a Big Guy as your Captain Dad, we also have the famous "Capt. Bob" Heavy Chain Anchor Bracelet. Truly a unique one-of-a-kind piece of investment jewelry inspired by a truly unique one-of-a-kind guy (Bob Bitchin, former publisher of Latitudes & Attitudes Magazine), and hand made in the Aloha state by master jeweler Hector of Aumaris Nautical Gold Creations.

You'll find select items in the Father's Day Collection up to 20% off. But order soon! In fact, we recommend ordering by Friday, June 6 to ensure delivery by Father's Day. But don't despair if you order after. He won't mind a belated Captain Dad or BEST DAD gift at all!

Stainless Friday-Steel Monday ULTRA Anchor Sale!

by Darren OBrien November 28, 2024

We tested an ULTRA Anchor on a charter catamaran in Tahiti a few years ago, and were summarily impressed with the anchor's performance. In particular, it securely held one blustery night where quite a few of the other boats in our anchorage dragged overnight. Granted, the boat we were on was brand new and had many luxury conveniences (a working ice maker on the fridge!), but the anchor certainly proved to be much more than the proverbial pretty face.
