Best Christmas gifts for sailors
Cheap and cheerful
We are confident you will find this list of X-mas gift ideas extremely interesting!
So, let's go ahead and celebrate with:
Anchor Alarm
With this tool you will decrease the risks of spending the night outdoors, by monitoring your position.
It is called Anchor Alarm and has described extensively in our previous post 3 Best Sailing Apps.
Water Shoes, to walk safely on the deck
Perhaps the most common injuries at sea occur when someone needs to act urgently, while not wearing their shoes.
Unfortunately, slipping on board does happen, even though caution is warranted and is mentioned among our instructions before departure.
If you enjoy sailing "barefoot", it is a good idea to buy these special shoes, spending only € 11!

It only costs € 14

Espresso Maker
We already know that the coffee lovers among you who simply love a good espresso, are brutally deprived of it on sailing vacations.
Espresso coffee has fanatical friends all over the world but unfortunately it is difficult to be enjoyed on board, as its preparation requires a special espresso machine and other accessories.
Well, how about this portable espresso maker that solves our problem with only $ 49! Enjoy!

If you find the idea of cooking on board appealing, how about this Solar oven?

Fitness Smartwatch
You are wrong if you think that life on board is sedentary!
You will be surprised to learn that the steps you take every day on a sailing trip are thousands.
We have chosen to present you the Huawei GT2 Pro, for many reasons, the most important of which is that it will motivate you daily in exercise and will transfer the functions of your mobile phone to your wrist (speech, messages).
Also know that it is waterproof and has an autonomy of about 2 weeks.
Its price is € 248 which we believe is very reasonable with regard to its competition.
