Jan. 2 2024
News
Whether you’re a casual cruiser or a seasoned sailor, the world of boating is constantly evolving with innovative gadgets, products and essential tools that will improve your nautical adventures and overall boating experience.
From cutting-edge smart gadgets and upgraded boat basics to water toys and accessories for the whole family (and water sports fanatics) our Texas boat dealership has curated a list of our favorites that will redefine your relationship with the phrase “boat day”.
The Ultimate in Boating Technology
Speaque
Bring your favorite songs in the water. 100% completely water-proof, Speaque Bluetooth Speakers rank for the highest level of waterproofing (IP68) and are paired with a memory mode function that can store up to 2,000 songs offline. Audible underwater and with the ability to be suction-cupped to the side of your boat, hooked to a carabiner, or thrown overboard to float, these durable speakers are sure to upgrade your day on the water.
C-Map Phone App
A must-have for cruising and fishing alike, navigate the waters all from your phone. Plan and navigate where you and your boat go with live autorouting, and save your favorite destinations ahead of time, or as you discover them! From points of interest, weather predictions along your route, custom depth shading and more, download C-Map for free and always have easy-to-use navigation tools in your pocket.
Sionyx Nightwave
Boat safety and see exactly where you’re going in low-light, without thermal imaging. Sionyx Nightwave connects to your boat’s electronic hardware and features a 44-degree horizontal field of view and images in <1 Millilux moonless starlight, allowing you to view a man-sized object at 150 meters in extreme low-light conditions.
For Keeping Your Most Important Assets Safe
Life Jackets for All Ages
Life jackets are much more than a friendly suggestion. They really do save lives! When it comes to something so important, it’s imperative to have high-quality, trusted and dependable life jackets for everyone on board (including a few extras for unexpected guests). Airhead life jackets are trusted industry-wide and we would recommend them to anyone.
Sea to Summit Dry Sack
These space-saving dry bags keep anything you want to stay dry, dry! Electronics, clothing, extra towels - whatever you need to dry store, they have a size for.
Bumpers & Fenders
No matter your pro-status when it comes to maneuvering your vessel, bumps and scrapes can happen and prevention is the key from lasting marks or dings! From fender padding to marina and dock bumpers, play it safe and install ahead of the boating season to keep your boat in top condition.
For Thrill-Seekers and Fun-Havers
Blast 4 Tube
When it comes to tubing, Airhead makes a wide variety of different styles of towable tubes for single riders & the whole family - while we would recommend any of their tubes for a memorable ride on the lake, we really like the Blast 4 tube. The more the merrier!
Wake Foamies
Perfect for a beginner or a seasoned pro, Wake Foamies were created by eight-time World Champion wakeboarder, Harley Clifford, to connect surfing and wakeboarding with durable, foam-top wakesurfers. Thanks to their lightweight design and structure, keep your shins and boat safe with foam rails and patented polycarbonate hull.
Liquid Force Wake Surf Edge Mega Folding Wake Shaper
Your boat doesn’t have to be 100% equipped for water sports out the gate for you to give them a try! A wake shaper can maximize the wake of your boat and create the optimal environment to test out new water sports, and Liquid Force has done extensive testing to develop the only wake shaper that “intelligently re-uses the water it displaces to make the wave longer and taller”. Ready to hit the wakeboard?
For Keeping the Party Going All Day Long
Foldable Solar Chargers
With electronics firmly rooted in our lives and routines, it’s important that we’re able to keep them charged and on, even on the boat! For playing music, taking pictures, navigating the waters and any potential emergencies, having a back-up solar powered charging system to keep your phone up and running is not only convenient, but could be a life-saver.
Nomadix Poncho Towels
Potentially the only “towel” you’ll need for on-and-off the boat! Part poncho, part towel and part beach blanket, this 3-in-1 product was designed for a boat day in mind. With odor-resistant and sand-resistant fabric, this poncho towel has got you covered from the marina, the dock, the beach, the boat, and back again.
Aqua Oasis Floating Beverage Cooler
Don’t interrupt the party in the water to reload drinks from the boat - bring them with you! The Aqua Oasis floating cooler keeps 24 cans ice cold for hours, and has six drinks holders along the outside to keep your beverages close by.
