If you’re relatively new to the world of boating, then there are a few boat accessories that you need to have, otherwise you may create some unfortunate circumstances.

Firstly, probably the most important small boat accessory is a float for your keys. It’s extremely easy to have your keys slip out your pocket into the water, perhaps when you step out onto a platform and without a floating device on your keys you’re never going to be able to find them.

Another boat accessory is a non slip mat for your items and drinks. Without this your sunglasses, drinks, and telephone could soon be ‘hitting the deck’ and that’s the last thing you’ll want to happen. A non-stick mat can be cut to size, and it’s certainly a boat accessory that many sailors have installed.

A final must have boat accessory is a step. It should not be made difficult to step out of your boat, especially if you’re frequently on the river you’re likely to be in and out at locks. It’s a boat accessory that’s for your own safety, and the safety of your guests, and it’s an addition we feel should be installed in any boat.
