Shopping for a guy who lives for the water? Start here. Every pick below is something we make ourselves, and every order comes with free returns and exchanges, so you can gift with confidence.

For the Hoodie Guy: The Deckhand Hoodie

This is our flagship for a reason. The Deckhand Hoodie is ultra-lightweight, insanely soft, and lined in the hood with real dress shirt fabric. Each pattern is named after an iconic coastal town. The Cape Cod in navy is the classic first pick, and the Nantucket in athletic grey goes with everything.

If he owns ten hoodies and wears two, this becomes one of the two.

For the Boater: UPF 50 Sun Shirts and Hoodies

For the guy who is on the water every chance he gets, give him sun protection he will actually wear. Our UPF 50 shirts and hoodies are fast drying with simple, classic designs, a refined look that works as well at the beach bar as it does on the boat. No loud graphics, no techy fishing-shirt vibe. Just clean coverage that blocks about 98% of UV rays.

The Exuma UV shirt is the easy winner here. Prefer a hood? The Anthem UV Hoodie has the same UPF 50 protection.

For the Layering Guy: The Deckhand Q-Zip

Some guys run warm or just prefer a collar. The Deckhand Quarter Zip is the same lightweight build as our hoodie, with the dress shirt fabric tucked inside the collar instead of the hood. It layers cleanly over a tee in the fall and under a jacket in the winter. The Montauk Q-zip in navy is the one we would hand him first.

Stocking Stuffers and Easy Wins

Not ready to commit to apparel? Two safe bets:
