Tips for Staying Cool Out On the Boat

Warmer weather and longer days mean one thing: boating season! But with the summer heat drawing near, those exciting days on the water with family and friends can turn into scorchers. Luckily, Wholesale Marine has the products you need to beat the heat while out on the boat. We’ve mentioned some of our favorite tips below:

Anchorshade

Tip #1: Invest in a Shade or Bimini Top

One of the best ways to avoid the beaming rays is to cool off in the shade. We offer options such as Anchorshades and Bimini Tops. Anchorshades are a great addition to any boat whether you are anchored or leisurely idling. Its “Market Style” design allows for venting while still providing UV protection. Another great choice is a Bimini Top, which comes in a wide variety of sizes to help shield you from the sun or water spray. With our Bimini Selection Guide, you can ensure you find the right top for your boat.

Tip #2: Have Marine Fans Onboard

Marine Fans

Want to cool off down below the deck? Marine fans can do just the trick. Being the most powerful of its kind, the Caframo Bora fan is a great option for the galley or sleeping areas. This fan’s compact design gives you the choice of where to put it to ensure maximum ventilation. Additionally, this fan’s quiet motor allows you to cool off and still enjoy the company of your friends and family.

Tip #3: Pack Plenty of Cold Beverages

Marine Coolers

What is worse than not being able to cool off on a hot day on the water? Not having anything cold to drink. Luckily this can be prevented. We have hard coolers, soft coolers, and portable refrigerators. The Norcold portable refrigerator provides additional refrigerator and freezer space and has a stainless steel interior for superior cooling. As summer continues, these will become a staple for every day on the boat. 

Tip #4: Hop in the Water!

Lake & Pool Floats

Probably the most fun way to stay cool: jump on in! Nothing beats the heat like chilling in the cool water. We carry many different products to help you relax in your favorite way. Whether you want to run, walk, lounge, or jump, our floating islands are a great choice for bringing the party to the water. We also have a large collection of lake floats with options that will make the whole family happy.
