Tired of the same old trick-or-treating? Why not treat yourself to a Halloween on a boat? The spooky holiday is the perfect excuse to get out on the water and enjoy some scary good fun. Halloween is a chance to get creative and have fun with friends. Here are some ideas for how to celebrate Halloween on your boat in spooky style:


Pick a spooky or funny costume.

Halloween is a great time to get in the spirit, have fun, and get creative. You can wear a costume that is nautical themed, one that is funny, or even something that is more on the scarier side. You can even coordinate with friends to do a group costume.

We recommend choosing a costume that's comfortable to wear. Don't choose one that is too hot or heavy because it can make your trip more uncomfortable than fun - especially being on a boat.

Avoid costumes that are short or revealing—you don't want to distract passengers from their enjoyment of their surroundings, and it’s always best to dress appropriately in case children

There's nothing quite like the feeling of sitting on the bow of a boat, watching the waves roll by. Boaters are passionate about their vessels—they want to make sure they have everything they need for a safe and comfortable trip. But with so many options out there, how do you choose what to get them for a gift? Whether you're a boater yourself or a friend of a boater, there are lots of fun gifts to give them. This holiday season, we've put together a handy guide with some of our favorite boating related gift ideas that will help you find something special for your own favorite boater.

Boating Shoes


If you want to give someone a gift that can be used both on land and water, a nice pair of boating shoes is a great choice. These shoes can be made from rubber, canvas or leather, and they can be waterproof. They may also be slip resistant and insulated for comfort in the summer heat. Some have a non-slip sole for safety purposes when walking around the boat deck or dock; others are designed

Boat hinges can be one of the most important parts of your boat, so when they stop working properly, it's important to know how to replace them. Replacing boat hinges can help you save money by extending the life of your boat! In this article, we cover the basic steps for replacing the hinges on your boat.

Before you begin, you'll need to make sure that the screws are set up correctly, or else they could easily strip. The best way to do this is with a torque wrench. If you're not using one, just be careful not to overtighten the screws when installing them into place.

If it's been awhile since your hinges were replaced, chances are good that some of their screws may have become stripped over time and will need replacing before proceeding with installation. You can buy new bolts at most hardware stores, but if you want something strong (and less likely to rust), consider stainless steel fasteners.

Quick tip: When removing old hinges from a boat hatch or door frame, remove all existing fasteners

If you're taking a boat out on the water, it's important to have certain equipment on board. Having this gear will keep you safe, comfortable and prepared for all situations that may arise.

A good life jacket

A life jacket should be U.S. Coast Guard approved, with a collar that fits snugly around the neck and chest, and sleeves that are long enough to cover your arms all the way down to your wrists. It should also be comfortable to wear while in the water (so you don't have to constantly adjust it), stay on in rough seas, and not cause chafing if it gets wet—a common complaint among boaters who don’t wear them regularly or keep them clean enough after use.

If possible, try on several different life jackets before buying one because they come in different sizes and styles (and sometimes even colors). Make sure that whatever model you choose has been tested by an independent third party organization such as AIMSA (American In-Line Skating Association) or IBSA (International Boating Safety
