Experiencing a vacation on a boat is unique in itself, and the experience of being in the middle of the sea night and day is unparalleled. But to truly experience a boating vacation to the fullest, there are plenty of accessories, equipment and toys on the market that can amplify the beauty that the sea and the boat already provide. For example: how many boat owners do not have an SUP on board? By now probably none, since they are found almost everywhere in the Mediterranean. For those who don’t want to paddle though, or for those who want to try a different experience, there is an accessory-still not very popular-that becomes a real engine for the board. It easily mounts aboard any SUP and is operated with a small remote control: it propels the board up to 6 knots of speed! Vacation means relaxation, and so here is a brilliant accessory to make additional livable space in the boat are platforms. Inflatable or not, they are perfect for practicing yoga, pilates, or just lying down with some quiet time away from the boat and the rest of the crew. To make a vacation go at its best, safety is key. There are small accessories that can come in very handy even on vacation, such as the tool that makes any smartphone a satellite phone, also useful as an SOS locator. Or the thermal imaging camera that allows you to identify heat patterns, and the radar that tells you how deep the water is with just a click. If you are afraid of energy consumption on vacation, why not install a hydrogenerator? It recharges your batteries while you are sailing, and you don’t even know you have it on board. Happy boating vacations!
