Royal Anti-Spill Wine Glasses

Nothing ruins white vinyl or takes longer to scrub out of your nonskid like a spilled glass of merlot. These anti-spill glasses use an innovative magnet system to keep the glasses upright and in place while out cruising.

Docktail Bar Holder

Docktail Bar Marine Cup & Bottle Holders
Sure, the boat might have plenty of cupholders, but where to put the 2-liter bottles and containers? Spice up the party and keep it all nearby and organized with myriad options from Docktail. There are configurations and mounting options for pontoons, deck boats and bow riders. There is even a collection for rod holders.

Prices vary according to boat type, size and mounting options.

 

Boat Loop

The Boat Loop
Help your boater look like a pro while pulling into the dock. The durable fiberglass pole extends their reach from 3 to 7 feet beyond the boat or dock. This handy tool includes an extendable pole with an attached flexible loop used for snaring a piling or dock cleat when coming into a slip. Use the stub end to push away from docks or hazards. The small hook is made for line retrieval, and the large one is for hooking items gone overboard.
