These essentials will not only pump up the fun but also keep you ready for whatever comes your way on the wide-open sea.
So, let's get into it and outfit your vessel with these 20 top-notch boat must-haves that every sailor needs!
20 Cool Boat Gadgets and Must-Haves
1. Life Jackets (PFDs)
No matter how experienced you are, life jackets (or Personal Flotation Devices - PFDs) are essential for everyone aboard. Check that they comply with U.S. Coast Guard standards and fit each person properly. Safety isn't just about following the rules – it's about coming home to tell the tale.
2. Fenders and Dock Line
Protecting your boat's finish as you dock is crucial. Fenders absorb shocks while dock lines secure your vessel, preventing any unwanted scratches or damage. Think of them as insurance for your boat's sleek exterior.
Kemimoto's brand-new EVA boat fender features a smart and convenient lock design that keeps it securely in place—preventing it from drifting off. The fender is flat, incredibly resilient, and stretchy, making it ideal for shock absorption. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to handle.
Our new fender can endure extreme cold, withstanding temperatures down to -70°C without any issues. Moreover, it's resistant to corrosion, chemicals, and even bacteria, all the while being eco-friendly. When you're done with it, disposing of it won't harm our planet. We aren't playing around, and we're pushing the envelope for industry standards. Stay tuned and keep an eye out for our upcoming new releases!
3. Beach Anchor for Boats
A reliable beach anchor holds your craft steady, allowing you to savor the shoreline without fretting over your boat drifting away. Kemimoto’s jet ski anchor is a real champ—it sticks to its spot even when the waves get wild, thanks to its smart hollow design and tough stainless steel. Plus, you just step on it to set it up, and it tucks away in its own bag. Easy-peasy!
4. PWC Jet Ski Foldable Bumpers
For jet ski enthusiasts, foldable bumpers are your best defense against docks and other watercraft. They're easy to store and even easier to deploy, offering protection when you need it most. Just pump them up, attach them with the included nylon rope, and your boat's safe from bumps and scrapes. They are suitable for boats ranging from 25 to 35 feet, and we recommend using one every 10 feet. When you're done, just deflate for easy storage. Tough PVC means these foldable bumpers last too!
5. Boat Rear Mirror
Maintain full awareness with a rear mirror, keeping an eye on everything happening behind your boat. It's not just helpful; it’s a critical safety measure for those piloting their vessels alone or pulling water-skiers and tubers.
Kemimoto’s rearview boat mirrors feature a solid aluminum clamp that won't rust and offers a tight grip. Plus, you can swivel it any which way for the best view. The stainless steel pole lets you see way more, and it's a breeze to install on most railings.

7. Boat Flag with Pole
A boat flag is more than just decoration; it's a potential lifesaver. In distress, it acts as a visual signal, alerting others that you need assistance. Ensure it's in a visible location, and know the proper signals for your area.

8. Marine-Grade Ligh Bars
When darkness falls, marine-grade light bars are your beacon in the night. Illuminate your path and ensure you are visible to other boats, doubling as a form of visual distress signal if needed.
9. Bimini Top
The sun can be relentless out on the open water. A Bimini top provides much-needed shade, offering comfort and UV protection for you and your passengers.
Kemimoto’s bimini top cover is exceptionally tough, water and UV-resistant, ensuring it won't fade. It's got sturdy straps and poles to weather any sea storm. It folds down in a snap, installs easily, and remember to fold it if you're speeding over 45 mph!
10. Kayak/Canoe Sunshade Canopy
For kayak or canoe anglers, a sunshade canopy is a must-have fishing boat accessory. Not only does it shield you from the sun's rays, but it also allows you to stay on the water longer, increasing your chances of a great catch.
Take a look at Kemimoto’s kayak shade kit, complete with all the fixings and a wrench. It's sturdy, fade-proof, and stands up to wind. It'll save your skin from the sun and rain.

13. Boat Caddy Organizer Cup Holder
Organization is key to maintaining a tidy deck. A fishing boat caddy organizer not only holds your drinks but also keeps small essentials orderly and within reach.
Keep your fishing boat neat with Kemimoto’s caddy! It holds your drinks, phone, keys, and even fishing lures. Super sturdy, it screws in—no wimpy suction cups here. You can also mount it using hook-and-loop tape. It comes with all the fixings you need for a solid setup.

15. Fishfinder
A fishfinder for your boat is like having underwater X-ray vision; it helps you locate fish quickly, saving time and upping your chances of a good catch. It also maps out the underwater terrain, letting you avoid hazards and find the best fishing spots. Plus, with a fishfinder, you can track water depth and temperature, which are key to finding different fish species.
16. Inflatable Paddle Board
An inflatable paddle board is super convenient for boaters—it's compact when deflated, so it won't take up precious space on your boat. Once you're anchored, just pump it up and you've got yourself a floating playground to explore the waters around you. Plus, they're sturdy and stable, making them great for everyone, whether you're into a leisurely paddle or some serious SUP workouts.
17. VHF Radio
Having a VHF radio on your boat is like carrying a lifeline to the outside world—it's crucial for emergencies when you need to call for help. It's not just for SOS calls; you can also get weather updates and chat with nearby boaters, making it a must-have for staying in the know while you're out on the water. Plus, in some busy waterways, it's how you keep in touch with harbor masters, and bridge operators, and follow maritime rules of the road.
18. Basic First Aid Kit
You never know when someone might take a tumble or get a nasty cut while boating, so having a basic first aid kit onboard is a no-brainer—it's all about being prepared for those little accidents. Plus, it's not like you can just run to the nearest drugstore in the middle of the lake, right?
19. Fire Extinguisher
Fires can happen anywhere, even on the water, so keeping a fire extinguisher on your boat is key to nipping those flames in the bud before they ruin your day—or worse. It's one of those things you hope to never use, but you'll sure be glad to have it if a fire ever breaks out on the deck!
20. Registration and Documentation
You have to keep your boat's registration and documentation handy—it's like the boat's driver's license, proving you're legit to the water patrol if they stop you for a check. No one wants to be stuck explaining themselves out on the water without their papers—it's just asking for a headache!
