BOAT FENDER HOLSTER

Described as your boat’s new bodyguard, the Fender Holster holds your boat fenders in place at the dock taking the work out of setting them up. Avoid the dings in your gelcoat by positioning your fenders at points on the dock where the boat may impact the dock. Two heavy duty releasing buckles hold it in place. What a great solution and affordable holiday gift!

Skinny Water Culture 

Buying local is something I always try and do during the holidays and whether or not you’re local to Florida, Skinny Water Culture appeals to anyone who can appreciate the technical skill and patience required to fish in shallow water. “Skinny Water Culture is a community for anglers who prefer not to wear clothes and recycle rhetoric that might make them feel like fisherman; but, for those who would contribute to and absorb the common memories and feelings of an entire group of people the world over who love fish and fishing and the pursuit of those passions.”
