Coolest Boat Gear This Year

Just curious—what's the coolest or most useful piece of boat gear you've added this year? I'm upgrading a few things on my 31' Contender and looking for ideas before summer’s in full swing. Tech, storage, safety—open to anything!

This year’s coolest boat gear blends smart technology with durability. Compact action cameras, waterproof microphones, and solar-powered chargers are making a big difference for boaters who love capturing their adventures. Many boaters are also upgrading with wireless navigation tools and rugged waterproof storage cases that keep electronics safe on the water.

This year I added a Simrad NSS Evo3 unit, and it's been incredible for offshore trips—super clear imaging and fast mapping. Also upgraded my coolers and picked up some gear from AFTCO for those longer days out. When I’m in Surfside Beach, I usually stock up at the ship store at Surfside Marina https://surfside-marina.com/ . It’s a state-of-the-art dry stack and wet slip boat storage marina and service center in Surfside Beach, Texas, and they carry a surprising range of performance gear, bait, ice, and even emergency kits. Handy when you realize you forgot sunscreen or want a quick gear upgrade before launching.
