Whether you’re looking for a truly unique personalised boat gift, a practical present for life aboard, or something special for someone who loves sailing, boating or life on the inland waterways, we’ve selected 10 of the very best nautical Christmas gifts to inspire you.
From personalised boat cushions and blankets to nautical mugs, boat mats, framed art boat prints and more, these Christmas gift ideas combine practical use with distinctive nautical design. Ideal for him or for her, many of our products can be personalised with a boat name or custom text, making them a great choice for yacht and boat owners, captains, sailors, and general boating enthusiasts.
1. Indoor & Outdoor Cushions
Hand crafted from your choice of indoor or outdoor fabric, our versatile nautical scatter cushions make a timeless gift for any boat owner. Available in three sizes and featuring our most popular signature designs, these unique pieces are set to be a cherished feature for years to come.
2. Quick Drying Towels
Designed for life on deck or relaxing ashore. Available in two sizes, our premium towels combine plush, quick-drying fabrics with custom nautical detailing. Whether drying off after a swim or adding a bespoke touch to the heads or cabin, they make an exceptional, practical gift for any boat owner.
3. Boat Mats
A practical Christmas gift for a boat owner, our personalised boat mats are designed for use on the transom or dock, companionway, galley entrance or other high-traffic areas. Made with an absorbent microfibre surface and durable rubber backing, they help keep wet or dirty footwear from being carried further into the boat.
4. Custom Boat Blankets
Perfect for chilly evenings on deck or cosy nights below, our nautical boat blankets make a practical Christmas gift for boat owners and sailors. Choose from polar fleece or plush velvet, with a soft Sherpa fleece reverse in beige or black, for warmth and comfort when the temperature drops.
5. Nautical Pet Beds
Ensure your first mate travels in absolute comfort. Designed to offer a cosy, supportive retreat for dogs or cats, these pet beds combine plush cushioning with a lightweight profile that makes them exceptionally easy to stow away when underway, freeing up valuable cabin space.
6. Framed Art Prints
The ultimate centrepiece for any home, saloon, cabin or nautical space. Printed using high-quality, fade-resistant Giclée printing on fine art paper and mounted within a choice of black or white FSC-certified wooden frames. They can be fully personalised with your own photograph and finished with the boat name, home port, or location, creating a striking, bespoke tribute to life on the water.

For coffee on the way to the marina, a hot drink aboard or everyday use at home and work, our personalised nautical travel mugs are a practical Christmas gift for boat owners and sailors. The insulated double-wall design helps retain the temperature of your drink, while the secure screw-on lid helps reduce spills when you’re on the move. Personalise yours with a boat name or custom text and choose from our range of nautical designs.
