5 Great Coolers
Coolers Make for an Awesome Boating Gift
Coolers have gotten a lot more expensive lately but they last quite a bit longer and the ice can last for more than 24 hours. Nearly every boater takes a cooler with them when they go boating. Depending on how far they need to walk to the dock might determine if a strap is necessary for the cooler gift. We use the Yeti cooler as it keeps ice for a very long period of time and it’s pretty lightweight for what it accomplishes.
Below are the highest-rated coolers for your pontoon enthusiast. Pair any of these coolers with a 12 pack of their favorite beverage for a great Christmas or birthday gift.
