Boating on Father’s Day, including the right Tableware for Boat Excursions

Plan the perfect Father’s Day for the dad that enjoys spending time on the water. Our guide includes everything you need from customized experiences, to the right tableware for boats and scheduled time to sit back and relax.

Boating can be a fantastic idea for celebrating Father's Day, especially if your dad enjoys spending time on the water. Here at Social Seas, where we curate a selection of elegant tableware for boats, we suggest the following tips to make your Father’s Day boating excursion memorable:

1. Plan a Boating Outing

Research local lakes, rivers, or coastal areas where you can take your boat, rent a boat or charter a boating excursion. Consider the type of boating experience your father would enjoy and make a plan for the day. Take into account factors such as weather conditions and any specific interests your father may have.

2. Prepare the Boat

If it’s your boat, help your dad get the boat ready by cleaning and organizing it before the trip. Ensure that all necessary equipment, such as life jackets, navigational tools, and safety gear, are in good working order.

3. Customize the Experience

Tailor the boating trip to your father's preferences. If he enjoys water sports, bring along equipment for activities like water skiing, tubing, or paddle boarding. If your father is into fishing, make sure to bring along the necessary fishing gear, bait, and tackle. If he prefers a calm and relaxing experience with food and beverages, pack a cooler and find a serene spot to drop anchor, sit back and chill. 

4. Pack a Picnic and Bring the right Tableware for Boats

When spending a day on a boat, it's common to work up an appetite. Prepare a delicious picnic with your father's favorite snacks, food and drinks for your celebration on board. We like to pack the cooler with refreshing beverages and a selection of easy-to-eat snacks and meals, like fresh fruits, sandwiches, finger foods and lots of snacks. At Social Seas, we prepare our platters at home, use shatterproof drinkware for refreshing beverages and always ensure everyone enjoys their meals on lightweight but sturdy melamine plates.

5. Bond and Capture Memories

Use the time on the boat to bond with your father and create lasting memories. Engage in conversations, play games, listen to music, or simply relax and enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. Encourage him to share stories or experiences related to boating, family, or other topics that interest him. Be sure to take plenty of photos or videos to capture the special moments of your boating adventure. These memories can be cherished for years to come. Consider creating a scrapbook or photo album as a Father's Day keepsake.

6. Safety First

Prioritize safety by ensuring everyone onboard is following boating rules and regulations, and being aware of potential hazards. Familiarize yourself with boating safety guidelines and guidelines specific to the area where you'll be boating.

Fathers, like individuals, have diverse preferences and interests. What fathers want on Father's Day can vary greatly depending on their personal tastes, hobbies, and desires. What we do know is that everyone gets hungry whether they’re fishing, enjoying water sports, or simply relaxing on the water. Be sure to pack more drinks and snacks that you think you need and bring along the proper tableware for boats. It helps if your items are lightweight, shatterproof and reusable.

Just remember. The goal is to create a memorable experience that your father will enjoy. Taking his interests and preferences into account will make the boating trip all the more special for him.
