Heading for shore at full speed ahead is Christmas, and before we know it the big day will be here. We know how difficult it can be trying to find a suitable present for a sailor, that's both unique and something that relates to their favourite hobby. Hours can be spent trawling the high street with little reward, so being home to all things nautical and the first port of call for all seafarers we've done the hard work for you and have put together a selection of Christmas gift ideas for the yachtsman in your life.

Paper Charts

Sea Chest carries a full stock of up to date Admiralty charts and having a whole host of sailing enthusiasts at the helm of Sea Chest we all have at least one sailing trip in the pipe line! With this in mind our paper charts make excellent stocking filler ideas, perhaps even a hint as to where you'd like to be taken to next! Covering all areas of the world we're sure there's one route that will whet your appetite! You can view our extensive range of paper charts here.

Plotting Instruments

With paper charts in mind, you'll find it pretty hard to navigate your way around one without the necessary chart plotting instruments. These make great extra stocking fillers that are practical and efficient, we have a range of finely crafted course plotters, dividers and pencils to help you plot and plan your next trip with ease!

Colouring Books

For those days where the weathers like pea soup and it's too dangerous to venture out you need to have enough onshore activities to pass the time away! Adult colouring books have become hugely popular in the last year and for good reason to! You can while your time away easily with these books and they provide a therapeutic escape from the realities of life. For the sailor at heart we would definitely recommend Lost ocean which takes the reader on an enchanting underwater adventure! For a limited time too with every purchase of a colouring book you will receive a FREE packet of colouring pencils!
