These deli containers are our favorite way to store leftovers and prepared food. They are less likely to leak and are easier to stack and find in a top-opening fridge like ours.

If you plan to be at marinas using shore power or have a battery bank that can support running an Instant Pot, this can be a convenient way to make meals without heating up the galley.

We don’t have enough space in our boat for a full-size blender, but for the few times we need one, this immersion blender works great and stows easily!

This leak-proof water bottle only takes one touch to open and is great for kids (and adults). There are many colors to choose from, making it easy to identify who’s is who’s. And water bottles are fun to decorate with stickers you collect at stops!

Staying hydrated is important, and giving everyone in their crew their own tumbler or water bottle helps encourage drinking water. There are many colors to choose from, making it easy to identify who’s is who’s.

We love these partly because our boat is named “Fika,” a Swedish word for coffee time with friends. These handy dishcloths hold up well for repeated use and are biodegradable when their time with us is over.

Don’t forget to bring pot holders and dish towels for the boat! You might take what you have at home, but you could also pick up a set just for the ship.

Here’s another item that might be easy to forget! Cutting boards are useful even if you eat out for dinner most meals, because you can use them to slice up limes and lemons for your cocktails!

Boats can be damp, and removing cardboard is from your food storage is always a good idea. We like to use ziptop bags and food storage containers like these.

As a cruising family, we eat a lot of cereal. These plastic containers make it easy to seal the cereal so it doesn’t go stale too quickly and limit spills.

There are all kinds of contraptions out there to help keep the bugs away. Running something like this in your cockpit might make your evenings on anchor a little more enjoyable.

Living on the water gives you easy opportunities to go out for a paddle and explore an area. There are a few different paddleboards available on sale for Prime Day, so start here and see what works for you!

Pickleball is becoming more widely recognized and you’ll find there are pickleball courts in many locations. Grab a few paddles and you have a great way to get some exercise and play with new friends you meet!

Get multiple pairs. They will get lost, scratched, or misplaced. Have a few pairs for each person so that you are always ready, especially out on the water when the sun is reflecting off the waves.

These low-tech cooling towels are easy to use: get them wet, wring them out, and drape them around your neck. We frequently use them to help us stay cool while walking around new towns on hot days.

We love adding these drink mixes to our water, especially if we’ve been out hiking or sweating a lot. These packets can also make it easier to encourage your kids to get some water into their system on a hot day!

This link leads to men’s sizes, but finding sun protection for your entire family is essential. Find comfortable shirts and sunscreen that everyone will use!

Visiting new places is great, but sometimes the weather is HOT! A personal neck fan might be helpful.

We love being able to download books to read or listen to, and the Kindle Paperwhite is not only lightweight and has a good battery life, but it's also somewhat waterproof! This is perfect for boat life and reading.

As a family on a boat, Bluetooth headphones have been great for everyone. Whether watching videos for school, playing a video game, or just listening to music, having your own headphones helps keep the volume levels down for everyone else in a small space.

It may sound silly to have this, but having a soft kitchen mat in our galley has been really nice. Take advantage of this lightning deal to give your feet a break!

We make homemade pizza every week on our boat, Fika. Our oven is small, but it gets the job done! We have rectangular pans that work for us, but if you like round pizza, this smaller, 10" pan might fit the bill!

We don't have a full size blender on board, but when we really do need to blend something, our immersion blender works perfect (and it packs down pretty small!). Catch this deal and choose a fun color for your boat!

While I don't have one of these myself (yet!), I've heard from others that these come in handy to help measure distance when you're anchoring and want to see how close you are to another boat, or even to shore. If you struggle to visually estimate distances, this might be a great tool to give you confidence in your spacing!

This doesn't come out often in our kitchen, but it's been handy to have as we learned how to use our thermal cooker and wanted to double check internal temperatures of the meat we were cooking.

With four of us on our boat and numerous devices, we are constantly looking for the correct charging cords. It never hurts to get a few extra, especially during a sale like this.

While these aren't "marine grade," I imagine they would do the job, at least for a good period of time, and may be more approachable in cost so that you would be more likely to get a smoke detector for every bedroom in your boat. Do your research, but be sure you have the appropriate detectors in all bedrooms of your boat (and house!).

While we don't have the battery bank to regularly support a blender, we do have an immersion blender onboard when we need it. But if you plan to be on shore power and like to have smoothies on a regular basis, having a personal blender is more compact than a full blender and may fit your needs.

I hope you don't need this, but just in case, I'm including it in the list. You are, after all, living on a boat. And mold happens. Grab this while it's on sale if it's something you're dealing with.

If you plan to shower on the boat, having a bath mat helps contain the water on the floor when you're done.

One thing you probably won't get away from on the boat is your need (or desire) for a number of digital devices. Having extra chargers and charging cords can be very handy.

If you're working remotely from your boat, having more screen real estate is very helpful. This screen monitor extender might be right for you!

These little lanterns come in handy when your house battery is low or you want to light up an area where you don't have normal lighting. Our kids sometimes use these for reading lights in their cabins

There are going to be the occasional cold night or chilly passage. If you don't want to take your favorite blankets from home, have a few inexpensive blanks onboard. Sometimes it's nice to just get cozy!

If you have the space onboard, you'll find that sometimes having your own electric scooter comes in handy. While many marinas offer courtesy bikes, not all do. Check this one out that's on sale and see if it might work for you.

While it's not always cold enough for slippers, sometimes there's enough chill in the air that having something warm on your feet while you make your coffee or walk the dog down the dock in the morning makes life slightly better. Consider grabbing some inexpensive slippers during the sale.

I have not used one before, so check the reviews. But I have sat long hours at our salon table or nav desk, working regular office hours. And by the time the day is done, my legs are sore from all that sitting. If this fits your boat space, it might be an excellent addition!

Do you have the tools you need for boat maintenance? If not, this drill/driver is on sale. Be sure to get tools that all share the same battery pack (sometimes you can even get your vacuum with the same battery!) to make it easy to charge and swap with all of your powered tools.

Our kids use their Amazon Fire tablets for most of the library books and for messaging friends and family. Waiting to by these tablets when their on sale is a great way to save money. Check with your local librarian to help set up your digital library accounts (apps like Libby and Hoopla) so that getting new books on the go is always easy.

This is the vacuum we use on our boat. It's compact and does a great job. It's not cheap, but getting it during a sale will help.

We use portable chargers ALL THE TIME. With four of us on our boat, there are a lot of devices. Chargers come in handy when we don't have a charging port nearby or are out and about all day and know we'll have low batteries on our phones. We use batteries by ANKER, but this one is on sale and has great reviews.

Need bedding for your new boat? Amazon has bed-in-a-bag options for just about every bed size. Easy peasy!

Books take up a lot of space. We took a lot of books with us on our Loop. And we didn't read very many of the ones we brought. Reading new books on our kindle apps from the library was often the way to go. Talk to your local librarian to get help setting up your digital library apps so you can easily download books (and movies!) for free.
