Here are some creative ideas for nautical inspired gifts that are sure to please your boating friends or family... or you!
Sol Light Raillight Premium Clamp On Solar Powered
A great idea for enjoying night on the water - at the dock or anchored out on the hook! Clamp this solar-powered portable light to any railing, coaming, stanchion, step, ladder or dock box for up to eight hours of light with just an eight hour charge of sunlight. There's no need to fool with wires and no battery drain! Built-in sensor automatically turns it on at night, plus fixture also includes an on-off switch for manual operation. Dual bright-white LEDs can be seen up to 1/4 mile away. Coated stainless steel finish resists corrosion. Comes with two clamps: one for round railings up to 1-1/4", and a transom clamp for up to 2" thickness. Dual 700mA rechargeable and replaceable NiCad batteries. One year warranty. $29.99 at West Marine.
This Boating sign is 4"x18" and made with an exterior grade PVC plastic and printed with the best inks in the industry. Perfect for outdoor use for over 5 years or will look great inside. No rusting or fading indoors or out. The sign come with round corners and 2 holes for easy mounting. Only $8.99 at Amazon.
This handheld depthfinder looks where you want it to, when you want it to! The trouble with most fishing sonars is that they can only see what's in a fairly narrow cone directly under your boat. But the Norcross DF2200PX lets you aim its beam wherever you want to see, like an underwater flashlight, with a range of up to 199'. Just press the button and get real time depth, fish signals that tell you whether there is a target between you and the bottom and temperature (water or air) readings. Special algorithmic programming virtually eliminates false signals. It can even "shoot through" your boat's hull or thick ice for winter fishing. It's submersible to 200' and it floats if dropped overboard. Since you can aim it where you want it, you'll find fish in places your boat's sonar will never see. Also great as a range finder for divers. $89.99 at West Marine.
Lewmar Delta Anchor Bottle Opener
This scale-model of Lewmar s Delta Anchor in mirror-polished stainless steel is the perfect nautical lid-lifter for cracking open bottled refreshments afloat or ashore. $20.00 at West Marine.

They re mounted on a mahogany-finished wood plaque that measures 12-1/2"L x 4-1/4"W. Makes a handsome and practical gift that will be used every day! $199.99 at West Marine.

As Jack and Connie cautiously circle commitment, the couple that introduced them, Clyde (John Ortiz) and Lucy (Daphne Rubin-Vega), confront their own unresolved issues, and each couple comes face to face with the inevitable path of their relationship. Based on the acclaimed Off-Broadway play of the same name, this unconventional romantic comedy is a tale of love, betrayal, friendship and grace. $29.99 at Amazon.
