5 must-have speedboat accessories

There are many different ways to enjoy a day out on your speedboat, whether having fun with watersports, packing some delicious treats and enjoying a picnic from the middle of the ocean, or just enjoying the breezy ride.

Here are our favourite speedboat accessories to enhance your time on the water.

 

1. Towables

Anybody with children will know that fear of being stuck somewhere with nothing to entertain the kids. Does this sound like you? If so, why not get your hands on a few towables. They offer endless fun when out on the water, and as a plus, they come in many different styles, making them one of the most fun speedboat accessories out there. 

 

2. Boarding ladder

A boarding ladder should be next on the list, especially if you decide to invest in a towable. Boarding ladders make getting back on the speedboat much less of a task and avoids any bruised knees from trying to clamber up the side. A boarding ladder comes in handy regardless of whether you own a towable - if an accident happens and you end up overboard or you decide to go for a swim, getting back on the boat is much easier.

3. Action Camera

Every adventure on your speedboat creates new memories, so why not capture every second with a waterproof action camera? They're a great addition to your speedboat accessories, as they allow you to relive every moment again and again. Plus, you don’t need to worry about water damage because most action cameras are able to go up to 60m underwater!

 

4. Cooler

All the excitement and activity of boating can work up an appetite! Take a cooler onboard to ensure all your snacks and drinks are kept cold during your outing. What better setting to enjoy a delicious picnic than floating on the water?

 

5. Drybox

Whether you’re out on your boat for the full day or just an hour, it’s enough time for a phone or any other gadgets or documents to get wet - you are in the middle of the ocean, river or lake after all! This small investment could save you hundreds by keeping your things safe from damage.
