Nothing kills a perfect lake day faster than realizing you left something important at home. Whether you’re out for a full-blown sandbar party or a chill float with friends, the right gear makes all the difference.
We’ve put together the ultimate packing list so you can spend more time enjoying the water — and less time making emergency trips back to shore.
1. Anchors & Tie-Off Gear
The first rule of sandbar life? Stay put.
- SandShark Boat & Jet Ski Anchors – Secure your spot without worrying about drifting.
- Low tie-off ropes keep your anchor straight and prevent bending.
2. Floating Fun
Make the sandbar the place everyone wants to be.
- Floating Lake Mats & Inflatable Docks – Space for lounging, sunbathing, or a mid-day nap.
- Towable tubes for adrenaline-packed rides between anchor breaks — and they make a perfect place to lay or lounge at the sandbar, too.
- Stand Up Paddleboards (SUPs) – Perfect for cruising around the sandbar, exploring, and sneaking in a little exercise.
3. Tunes & Power
Music sets the mood.
- Marine Bluetooth Speakers – Crisp sound designed for open water.
- Keep your playlist diverse so everyone hears something they like — from classic rock to today’s hits.
- Portable solar chargers keep phones, speakers, and cameras running all day.
4. Shade & Seating
Sometimes you need a break from the sun.
- TaylorMade Anchor Shades or Pontoon Gazebos – Quick, portable, and perfect for keeping the party cool.
- Inflatable loungers or folding chairs for extra comfort.
5. Safety & Essentials
The unglamorous stuff you’ll be glad you have.
- Coast Guard-approved life jackets for every passenger — we even have them for your dog.
- First aid kit, sunscreen, and a dry box for valuables.
6. Food & Drinks
Because nobody parties on an empty stomach.
- A good quality cooler, like our Laka 45 QT, will keep food and drinks cold all day long.
- Floating cupholders so you can sip without spilling.
Pro Tip:
Pack the night before, load the boat early, and double-check your list before you leave the dock. You’ll thank yourself when you’re anchored, drink in hand, watching everyone else scramble for “that one thing” they forgot.
