Whether you are heading out for a few hours or spending the entire day on the water, having a few practical essentials can make your boat day more enjoyable.

Here are some of my favorite Norwex products to pack before leaving the dock as my family has rented a boat on and off for the last handful of years when we are on vacation.

Stay Protected from the Sun

A sunny day on the water means extra exposure to UV rays.

The Mineral Sunscreen is an easy addition to your boat bag and helps protect your skin while you’re enjoying the outdoors.

Keep Sunglasses Crystal Clear

Between salt spray, fingerprints, and sunscreen smudges, sunglasses can get dirty quickly.

The Optic Scarf is the perfect compact solution for cleaning:

• Sunglasses
• Reading glasses
• Phone screens
• Camera lenses

It takes up almost no space and is easy to keep in a pocket or boat bag.

Handle Messes and Clean Hands Quickly

The Travel EnviroCloths are one of my favorite boat-day essentials.

They’re perfect for:

• Wiping hands after snacks
• Cleaning cup holders
• Tackling small spills
• Wiping down frequently touched surfaces

I love this pouch that they come in! The pouch is VERY roomy. You could easily fit an Optic Scarf and a Mineral Sunscreen as well in here.

Nobody wants crushed snacks or leaking containers.

The Silicone Storage Containers and Reusable Silicone Bags help keep food fresh and organized while reducing disposable waste.

Perfect for:

• Cheese and charcuterie snacks
• Fruit
• Veggies
• Small cookies/dessert
• Sandwiches
• Trail mix
• Crackers

Don’t Forget a Cutting Board

Bringing fruit or building a simple snack board?

A Cutting Board (pick your size or grab all 3 cutting boards in a special bundle) makes it easy to prep food right on the boat without taking up much space. Save $19.98 with the bundle!!

Replace Paper Napkins

Boat days often mean snacks, drinks, and sticky fingers.

The Kitchen Towels, Kitchen Cloths, and Counter Cloths make excellent reusable alternatives to paper napkins and disposable towels.

Use them for:

• Keeping snack areas tidy
• Cleaning up spills
• Drying hands
• Wiping surfaces

Pack Towels You’ll Actually Use

The Beach Towel is perfect for:

• Swimming stops
• Sandbar adventures
• Lounging in the sun

For a compact option, the On-the-Go Towel is great for:

• Everyday boating adventures

• Keeping in a tote bag
• Unexpected spills

Freshen Up After a Day on the Water

After swimming, sweating, and spending hours outdoors, it’s nice to have a quick way to freshen up.

The Body and Face Cloths are easy to pack and can help you feel refreshed before heading home or stopping for dinner after your boat day.

Make Every Boat Day Easier

The best boat days are the ones where you’re prepared, comfortable, and able to focus on making memories with family and friends.

A few thoughtful essentials can help you stay organized, clean, and ready for whatever the day brings.
