Other Boating Electronics
If your boater is set regarding safety devices, there are still many fancy boating electronics to choose from. These can range from a new multi-function display to a VHF radio upgrade.
Boating electronics might have a steep price tag, but they always make a decent pick for a holiday boating gift because technology evolves quickly.
For a sailor that loves a bit of fishing? There isn't much that will be more appreciated more than a GPS/fish finder. Personally? I'm hoping that Santa will bring me one and make this a very merry boating Christmas.

Fishing Rods and Reels
While a fish finder might be a great gadget to tool around with, it won't do much good at all unless it's paired with a great fishing rod and reel.
There isn't much that's more exciting than hanging out on your favorite ocean or lake to ring in the New Year. New fishing rods can only take that feeling to the next level.
No matter what time of year it is, and even if you don't catch anything, fishing is a great excuse to kick back and relax while enjoying a few beers.
Bilge Pump
While not as sleek and sexy as some of the other items on this list, a manual bilge pump can be a great low-cost boating present that just screams practicality. If you're willing to commit to your sailor gift just a bit more, a fully-fledged bilge pump will always be appreciated.
Most boats only come with one, but installing a second bilge pump can be convenient and might even save a life!

Boating Tow Toys
Towables are another cost-effective genre with a lot of variety. Whether you're gifting a towable inflatable, water skis or wakeboards, there's always some great fun and bonding in store when the tow toys are unwrapped.
Before you take the leap, you might want to explore the differences between a ski boat vs a wake boat, just so you know which gift your prospective recipient will likely prefer.
