All products recommended by The Moorings are selected by our content team. All of our recommendations include links to third-party websites with which we are not affiliated.

What’s on our wish list this holiday season? If you don’t (yet) have a charter booked for your dose of winter fun in the sun, we have a few shopping recommendations that will have your loved ones reminiscing about past trips and starting to plan new ones. We included products that have a wide range in prices so you are sure to find that unique stocking stuffer or gift.

To kick off our list of favorites, we included the Garmin quatix 6x multisport watch. For serious mariners, this watch keeps you connected on land and at sea. Packed with coastal charts and inland maps, the Garmin quatix 6x lets you sail for up to two weeks on a single charge.

You’ll find several Helly Hansen products on our list this year. The quality of their products is undeniable. Fashionable, waterproof and windproof, this best-selling sailing jacket keeps you dry and warm while at sea this winter.

Closed-toe shoes are best while boating. Keep your footing on deck with these Helly Hansen deck shoes for men and women. Constructed with soft, cotton canvas with leather detailing, these deck shoes have a classic silhouette and keep your feet protected from the elements.

Compact and waterproof, Helly Hansen backpacks and dry bags are your best friend while on charter. Perfect for those dinghy rides to shore, these packs are convenient and can hold all your souvenirs without the plastic shopping bag.

For those lovers of the British Virgin Islands, a Soggy Dollar rum cake makes the best gift that’ll surely have them fondly remembering sipping on a famous Painkiller cocktail on the beaches of Jost Van Dyke. This 4-pack of mini rum cakes includes flavors like vanilla, coconut, chocolate chocolate chip and cinnamon pecan streusel.

Show off your love for the water year-round with this unisex anchor bracelet. It comes in five colors, including navy, and can be easily worn daily or dressed up for nights on the town. It’s waterproof and fast-drying so it never loses its shape.

Keep their inspirations high with an annual subscription to a sailing or cruising magazine like Cruising World or SAIL. Written by boat lovers for boat lovers, these make classic gifts.

Quoted as being “the best log book available today”, this gift is for the serious captain in your life who is looking to advance as a yachtsman. Designated as a cruise planner, this leather-bound log book keeps track of your hours at sea.

Sustainability means protecting our oceans, beaches and planet from pollution – most of all disposable plastics. A reusable water bottle shows you care for the environment while staying refreshed while on the go. These bottles from Chilly’s are our favorites.

Most importantly on our list is perhaps the best gift of all! Give your loved ones the ultimate gift and plan for those future unforgettable moments. The Moorings offers gift certificates and branded gear, so you can put a smile on everyone’s faces this holiday season.
