Essential Boat Supplies to Have on Hand

Owning the latest and the most expensive boat isn’t enough—you will also want to outfit your vessel with a few essential supplies to boost your enjoyment and safety on the water. Don’t worry if you are unsure where to begin—we have you covered.

Club Royale is your local boat dealership in Michigan, and our friendly staff has created this checklist of essential supplies you want to have on your vessel for each outing. Read on to learn more, and for more information, visit our dealership for a friendly chat with our team. 

Safety Gear

Whether you want to enjoy a day-long excursion on the water or an overnight trip, you will need your safety equipment. Your list of items should include an anchor and rode, personal floatation devices, and life jackets for each crew member.

Daily Provisions

Next, you will want to ensure your passengers are well-fed and hydrated during the outing. This will help make your excursion more fun and memorable. Bring extra food and refreshments for the day, and don’t forget to bring sunscreen, goggles, and hats.

A Knife

Sometimes seaweed, stray fishing lines, or ropes can entangle on your propeller and cause it to malfunction. This can be scary as help might not always be available in the vicinity. A knife can come in handy, as you can use it to free your propeller and get your boat back in working condition.

Although there are various other boating supplies you want to get for your outings, you can get started with these.
