Whether you are cruising on a boat fulltime or just part of the year, finding that special gift to light up the eyes of your favorite female sailor can be challenging. There are many everyday things that MUST be bought to keep the boat running smoothly. Thus, remembering to look for something special might be overlooked. I hope this list assists you in identifying a special gift that will surprise a female sailor this Christmas. Most of these gifts can be bought easily from Amazon. I have included a link with the title for your convenience. Happy Shopping!

2. Harken Powered Furling Drill Adapter
This small but mighty adapter will please the sailor in your life as it will take the grunt work out of furling a large sail especially in conditions where you need to furl the sail quickly. Check it out!
3. Woman’s Ironman Timex Watch
This watch is practical and durable, especially in a salty environment. Its ability to backlight in the dark is great for night passages. The watch has intuitive buttons to easily set alarms for sailing shifts, or to change the time as you cross time zones.
The woman sailor in your life will love this product over wax as it is super simple to apply and will keep the boat clean with a simple wash. Pesky bird droppings will frequently disappear with the next rainfall instead of requiring major scrubbing with harmful environmental products.
5. Botepon Battery Operated Navigation Lights
Don’t be caught out in a happy hour dinghy drift without appropriate navigation lights. These simple clip-on lights will allow for others to see the dinghy. This is a great stocking stuffer!
6. Paul Mitchell Fast Form Styling Cream
You probably would never consider this as being a perfect Christmas present but for the gal who spends her time on a boat with little time to fix her hair, but this product is perfect! It reduces the hair drying time while smoothing away frizz caused by wind and humidity. It is great for most all hair types. Sometimes the little things make the best gifts.
7. Etidy Casual Nylon Waterproof Lightweight Shoulder Bag
This bag is perfect for going ashore and carrying your basic needs. It has multiple zipper compartments for efficiency of storage. The best thing about this bag is that it is lightweight and waterproof! Perfect for all those dinghy rides!
8. Blue Tees Golf Series 650 Yards Range Finder
So you ask, what in the world does a golf range finder have to do with sailing? The answer is safety, security, and perhaps fewer arguments. This device was suggested to us by some friends to use when anchoring, and it has been a wonderful addition to the boat. We can accurately determine our distance to shore as well as surrounding boats. There is no guessing or wondering if there is enough swing room. You will have accurate data!
Ok, I get it, this might seem like a luxury but what is Christmas for, except to spoil your favorite female sailor who likes to bake bread. It makes slicing bread easier, and the tray catches the crumbs, so it is less messy. While the slicer is long, it does fold flat which is helpful when living on a boat.
10. Boarding Ladder for Inflatable Boats
I frequently have difficulty reentering the dinghy from the water. Most ladders or rope slings seem to go up under the dinghy which is not helpful to climb up over the side. This ladder from West Marine angles outward making it easier to climb over the side of the dinghy. Your female companion may love you for this!
