Your boat has a name and a personality-- shouldn't your boating gifts be personalized as well?

Fortunately, boating provides plenty of opportunities for thoughtful personalized gifts for boaters. For example, you can offer towels, linens, polo shirts, jackets, or sailing bags embroidered with the ship’s name. If you’re looking for great gifts for the crew, consider ordering official crew shirts embroidered not only with the ship’s logo, but also with the crew name and position.

If you’re looking for personalized nautical gifts for the home, you can choose among many nautical home decor items which can be personalized. Nearly any metal can be engraved, and wood can be carved or affixed with a plaque to add that personal touch and increase pride in ownership.

Our Best Personalized Nautical Gifts

• Teak Logbook Cover Engraved with the Name of their Boat
  A very unique and elegant gift idea for boaters. For the non-mariners, a logbook is where you record all the details of your voyage– weather, location, sea conditions, any issues with the boat, etc. It is therefore a central item for a boat. This beautiful teak logbook can be personalized with the name of your boat, sure to make the skipper truly proud every time he makes an entry.

• Model Schooner
  A model ship is of course a classic nautical gift, but how is it a personalized nautical gift? Well, that’s where you come in, and a little bit of creativity. Suppose your special someone has a favorite type of boat that they’ve been pining over (or the boat that they own): customize the rigging and the sail cut to match their boat. Add their sail number to the sail, and the boat’s name to the stern. Paint the hull to match the colors of their boat. Finally, get a local trophy shop to add a plaque with the ship’s name, make, and year. Voila! Instant personalized boating gift that any boat owner will love!

• Old Town Guide Canoe
  A classic design that’s strong, light, and fast like a canoe should be. Probably the best canoe gift (or gift canoe?) this year, if you’re wondering which canoe to get as a gift.
• Canoe and Kayak Sail
  Looking to get there just a little bit faster? Need to give the arms a rest from time to time? This is the latest and greatest in canoe gifts: a canoe sail. Once you git the hang of it, you’ll wonder how you ever did without!
• Loose Fit Rashguard (Men’s)
  Surfers have long known that a good quality rashguard is your best friend when you’re going to be making a lot of potentially-chafing movement in a wet marine environment. But a traditional surfer’s rashguard is tight to fit under a wetsuit. Now, finally, there’s a rashguard that’s built for canoers and kayakers: loose enough to be comfortable and allow full range of paddle movement, with SPF 50+ sun protection and O’Neill quality.
• Loose Fit Rashguard (Women’s)
  As above this is the women’s version of the loose fit rashguard — the perfect canoe gift for women.
• Mini Anchor
  Need to stop your boat for a while? Everyone knows that you use a good anchor. But in a canoe, a traditional anchor will disturb the boat’s hydrodynamics– it just weighs too much. This mini anchor is a neat solution to the problem.
• Neoprene Water Gloves
  Spending hours plying the water with a paddle can be really rough on your hands– especially when the water is icy cold. That’s why a great gift for any canoer or kayaker is a high quality pair of neoprene gloves. These will keep your hands warm while also preventing blisters.
• Pelican Dry Case
  This Dry Case from pelican is a great gift for the canoeist who likes to take pictures, or bring a wallet or other goodies along in the canoe on a trip where things might be getting a little bit wet!

• Neoprene Water Gloves
  Paddle Grips are one of those simple, inexpensive items where, once you get them, you wonder how you ever lived without them. These puppies make your paddling so much more comfortable I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate them. And if you buy them as a canoe gift, the same will be said of you!
