Center console boats are excellent for beginner and expert boaters alike, and they make great fishing vessels or leisurely cruise boats. Their spacious decks, comfortable seating, and covered cockpits make center consoles a popular choice for many boaters. While your center console will come with lots of great features already installed, you can always upgrade your boat with some helpful accessories to improve your boating experience.

Dry Bag

If you have extra clothing or delicate electronics you want to bring on board, you need a dry bag. A dry bag is designed to be waterproof and capable of floating, so you can easily retrieve it if it falls in the water. You can store your wallet, keys, jackets, and phones in the dry bag while you’re boating to keep items safe and secure.

Dock Lines

You’re going to have to dock your boat at some point, so why not invest in some high-quality dock lines that can help you secure your center console at the marina? You can choose sturdy ropes or bungee cords, or a combination of both.

PFDs

Personal flotation devices, otherwise known as “life jackets,” are essential on every boat. Make sure you have enough life jackets for all your passengers and that they fit well and aren’t damaged.
