Let’s just call this the alternate (or Renegade) Gift Guide for Sailors and Lovers of the Sea. Our editorial team has been combing the best shopping sites to find great gear for sailors.

First up in the Gift Guide for Sailors: 8 Bulbs Not Included
All hands on this octo-light. Guess how many sailors it takes to change the light bulbs.
Shown below are heels for your dockside hottie: men, have a racer-chaser-boho-hottie who meets you at the dock post-regatta right before the parties?

This is tops as a gift guide for sailors choice (Had to get our Instagrammer-voice shout out).

World cruisers will love crashing into these beauties. Invite the ladies aboard and they will likely stay for a long time. Cheap liveaboards, gals will not complain about your cooking and won’t drink your beer. A pair of cuties to fend off the docks. Yes another gift guide for sailors top pick.

An enduring favorite, “How to Win Friends and Influence People,” could be a perfect gift for round-the-world single-handed sailing pals like Dame Ellen MacArthur, Istvan Kopar, Tracy Edwards, Sir Robin Knox-Johnston and Jean-Luc van den Heede.
