🤦🏼♀️ Things I Always Forget 😂
☀️ Sun Protection
One thing I always keep in my boat bag is SPF lip balm. This Sun Bum Coconut SPF 30 lip balm helps protect my lips from the sun while keeping them soft and moisturized. Such an easy little boat day essential to throw in your bag!
Sun Bum SPF 30 Lip Balm
One of my favorite things to bring on the boat is a cute baseball cap! It keeps the sun off my face, helps on those windy lake days, and Buckle always has the cutest styles and sayings. An easy boat-day essential that’s actually cute too.
Baseball Cap
One of my favorite things to keep in my boat bag for those brutally hot afternoons. Just wet it, wring it out, and use it to cool down when the sun won’t quit. Such a good little boat-day essential to have on hand.
Cooling Towels for Hot Boat Days
My go-to face sunscreen for long days on the boat! It feels lightweight, doesn’t leave that annoying white cast, and gives me SPF 50 protection when I’m out in the sun all day. One of those boat bag essentials I never want to forget.
Sun Bum Face 50 SPF
💧 Stay Hydrated
Ice-cold water all day long. I never head to the lake without it. You need to stay hydrated!
LARQ Bottle PureVis 2
I always throw a few LMNT packets in my boat bag for long, hot days on the lake. They’re easy to mix into my water and give me electrolytes when I’ve been out in the sun. One of my go-tos for staying hydrated on boat days.
LMNT Electrolyte Drink Mix
👜 Boat Bag Essentials
A must for boat days! I can keep my phone close without worrying about splashes or water damage, and I can still use the touchscreen through the pouch. Perfect for keeping my phone protected while we’re out on the lake.
Waterproof Phone Pouch
Between pictures, music, and videos, my phone battery disappears fast on boat days. I always pack a portable charger so I can stay charged all day without having to hunt for an outlet.
Portable Power Bank
Perfect for keeping my phone, wallet, keys, and other valuables dry while we’re out on the water. One of those boat-day essentials I’m always glad I packed.
Waterproof Dry Bag
I love having a separate place to toss my wet swimsuit at the end of a boat day. It keeps everything else in my bag dry and makes packing up so much easier.
Wet Swimsuit Bag
A must for boat days! Easy to pack, great sound, and perfect for keeping the music going while we’re out on the water.
Portable Bluetooth Speaker
🍉 Snacks & Drinks
Keeps drinks and snacks cold without taking up a ton of room on the boat. I love a soft cooler because it’s easy to carry, easy to pack, and perfect for a full day on the water.
Soft-Sided Cooler
Keeps everything cold without leaving melted ice water everywhere. I toss a few in the cooler before a boat day so drinks and snacks stay cold without the mess.
Reusable Ice Packs
Perfect for packing fruit, veggies, or snacks so they’re easy to grab throughout the day. Keeps everything fresh and contained without taking up too much room in the cooler.
Insulated Food Container
Because nobody likes a warm drink on a hot summer day 😂 I love these for boat days because they keep canned drinks cold way longer and are easy to toss right into the boat bag.
BruMate Can Cooler
😎 Comfort & Fun
Big enough to dry off after a swim or stretch out in the sun. I always pack an oversized towel for boat days—it’s one of those simple essentials I’m always glad I brought.
Oversized Beach Towel
One of my favorite little luxuries for those extra-hot boat days. Small enough to toss in my bag and so nice to have when I need a quick cool-down.
Portable Handheld Fan
My favorite bug spray! Smells so good! The bugs always seem to come out at sunset, so I never skip this.
Bug Soother Insect Repellent
Regular cards + water = terrible combination 😂 I love this waterproof UNO set for boat days because we can play without worrying about wet hands or splashes. Easy to pack and so fun when we’re just hanging out on the water.
UNO Splash Waterproof Card Game
🤦🏼♀️ Things I Always Forget 😂
The one thing my ADHD brain almost always forgets… until I’m already at the lake. 😂 A good pair of sunglasses is non-negotiable for cutting the glare and keeping my eyes comfortable out on the water.
Ray-Ban Aviator Sunglasses
Wind + long hair = instant regret if I don’t pack extras. 😂 I always keep a few hair ties in my boat bag because somehow I need one the second we leave the dock.
Goody Hair Ties
Perfect for cleaning up before snacks or lunch when there’s no sink nearby. I love how small it is, it smells amazing, and it’s one of those little things I’m always glad I packed.
