7 analog accessories for a more practical and fun boating vacation

Cruising on a boat is for many people the best vacation they could wish for. The freedom of being able to move wherever you want and the ability to explore unreachable beaches and coves fascinate more and more people. In recent years, also aided by the pandemic, a great many people have approached boating for the first time and discovered the pleasure of boating vacations. All it takes to make a boat cruise truly unique and even more comfortable and fun is a few but very useful accessories. For example, a multi-purpose tool such as Leatherman’s Charge+, perfect for loosening and tightening bolts and generally performing most maintenance on board, cannot be missed on board. Relaxation is a real must on a cruise, after all, what would a vacation be without it. With a king-size mattress and a canopy shade you are set. And if you have a very small or dated boat, perhaps without a refrigerator, you need have no fear: a quality ice chest will keep the ice intact for a long time, quietly covering days away from ports and marinas.
