Five Star Gift Ideas

If your boyfriend is an avid sailor, and enjoys the sea voyages around the world, you have endless options to choose from when it comes to Christmas gifts that will be meaningful to him. Here are a few ideas:

1. Boat Charter: If your boyfriend has always talked about wanting to sail to a particular location or try out a particular boat, a charter may be the best gift for him. The charter can either be rented for a day or even a week, and your boyfriend can choose the location of the sailing adventure. You might decide to also join him on the voyage.

2. Sailing Accessories: There are numerous accessories specific to sailing that can be a nice gift for your boyfriend. You can consider getting him sailing gloves, waterproof sailing bags or a sailor's knife. These accessories will not only make his time on the water more comfortable but are also functional when it comes to sailing.

3. Nautical Charts and Maps: Another gift idea for your boyfriend is to get him nautical charts and maps of his favorite sailing routes around the world. Such charts are not only informative but add a decorative edge to the home, office, or sailing vessel. A thoughtful touch can be highlighting the routes that he has taken, and personalizing it with a message or a note.

4. Sailing literature: Books about sailing, such as memoirs or stories about long journeys, can be an excellent gift idea for someone who loves sailing. These books can be a source of inspiration, encouragement, and knowledge for your boyfriend. Some great gift suggestions include "A Voyage For Madmen" by Peter Nichols or Bernard Moitessier’s "The Long Way."

5. Experience days: You can also gift your boyfriend a sailing-themed experience day, such as day courses on knots and rope tying, or guided sailing tours. A gift of a one-day skippering course or a day-long sailing Safari can be both enjoyable and educational.

If you’re unsure of what to get for a gift, going for something that caters to his interests is always a safe bet. By doing a little research ahead of time and knowing what he likes, he’ll definitely appreciate the thought that went into selecting the gift.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
