Warm weather and longer days make summer cruising a treat, but these five accessories and gadgets from Plaztek will make your boat days even more enjoyable.

 
 

1. Boat Seat Box with Esky
Limited for space? This cool cabinet is the answer. Packed with awesome features, the 171L esky and tackle storage all-in-one cabinet will increase your deck space and create an extra seat.

3. Boat Glove Box
Convenient and secure storage areas are one of the things you can never have enough of aboard your boat. Tidy away all those small but important items scattered round your cabin with this quality marine glove box.

Licence to Thrill
 

If youre thinking about getting into boating, a great way of testing the waters is to get your boat licence.
 

Getting a boat licence is not only a legal requirement if you want to drive a powerboat in most states, but it is a great opportunity to do something fun with family and friends, or meet new people; who like you, are getting into boating.
 

Getting a boat driver licence opens up a world of opportunities and activities, even if you dont own a boat.
 

Having a boat licence means you can hire boats and enjoy a day out on the water without the responsibility of maintenance and running costs; and you can also legally ride Personal Watercraft (aka JetSkis).
 

Boat licence requirements vary in each state and territory.
