As summer transitions into fall, there’s still plenty of time to enjoy the open water. Whether you're planning a day out on the lake, a relaxing afternoon at the beach, or a sunset cruise, having the right boating essentials and outfits is key to making the most of your experience. At Cabana Life, we prioritize both style and sun protection, ensuring that you can enjoy your time on the water safely and comfortably. Here’s a guide to the must-have items and stylish outfits for your next boating adventure.

Essential Boating Gear

Sunscreen

Protecting your skin from harmful UV rays is crucial, especially when you’re out on the water where reflections can intensify sun exposure. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher and water resistance.

Hats

Our Cabana Boy & Girl Trucker Hats are great for long days on the boat! We also have our signature Cabana Life Baseball Hats. A stylish wide-brimmed hat not only adds flair to your boating look but also provides essential shade for your face and neck. Opt for one that is lightweight and easy to pack for convenience.

Sunglasses

Polarized sunglasses are a must for boating, as they reduce glare and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays. Choose a pair that fits well and offers 100% UV protection for maximum comfort and safety.

Stylish Outfits for Boating

UV-Protection Swimwear

Start with a stylish swimsuit or rash guard from Cabana Life that features built-in sun protection. Our swimwear is designed to keep you safe from UV rays while ensuring you look fabulous whether you’re on the boat or taking a dip. From bikinis, tankinis, one-pieces and swim skirts, we have it all in signature solids & fun prints. 

Rashguards are a great way to stay warm on the boat with an additional layer. Plus, our UPF 50+ fabrics provide coverage in and out of the water. Shop with a purpose, our Meaningful Merch Collection includes branded sun protective rashguards that keep you safe and we donate 100% of the net proceeds to the Melanoma Research Foundation. 

Cover Ups

A lightweight cover up or tunic is perfect for slipping on when you’re not in the water. Choose vibrant colors or fun patterns to embrace the lively boating atmosphere while providing additional sun protection.
