A boating vacation is already a unique experience, but what makes it truly perfect is the sea, and the experiences that can be had there. Often, however, fun at sea is sacrificed, for reasons of space, and people choose to deprive themselves of this or that accessory because they clutter up too much on board. Fortunately, today so many accessories are available in inflatable, and therefore space-saving (and fun-saving) versions. There is, for example, a catwalk, inflatable, that can become a SUP. Or a small beach for those who want a few extra inches to relax aft. Then, between the folding costume and the super-strong tablet pops up the electric motor for the tender, a real treat that allows for less bulk and less weight on board. On the other hand, it is not inflatable, but collapsible, the thermoplastic bucket that can be used for fishing, for grouping equipment but especially as a live bait tank on boats that lack one.
