Our sailing stocking fillers are small, useful gifts that sailors will be glad to find on Christmas morning. Every one is something that earns its place in a kit bag, on the boat or in the clubhouse.
For dinghy sailors, a stainless steel shackle key, a rescue whistle or a Little Hawk wind indicator are always welcome, and mini spools of rope are handy for those jobs that crop up in the dinghy park. Caps and visors from Gill, a Zhik Superwarm headband, floating sunglasses straps and polarised sunglasses are easy choices that don't depend on knowing their boat.
For something more light-hearted, our sailing mugs carry slogans every sailor will recognise. Our 5L dry bag and water bottle suit sailors of any age.
Still not sure? A Sailing Chandlery gift voucher fits neatly in a stocking and lets them choose for themselves. For bigger presents, take a look at our full Sailing Gifts collection.

Read MoreSome frequently asked questions that other customers have asked us about Sailing Stocking Fillers.
What are the best stocking fillers for sailors?
The best stocking fillers for sailors are small, practical items they will use on the water. A stainless steel shackle key, a rescue whistle, a floating sunglasses strap, a sailing cap or a compact dry bag are all popular choices. They are inexpensive, easy to wrap, and useful whatever boat the sailor owns.
What are good stocking fillers for a dinghy sailor?
Good stocking fillers for a dinghy sailor are the small bits of kit that make a difference on the boat. A Little Hawk or Allen Aerovane wind indicator, mini spools of rope for control systems and tie downs, a shackle key and a rescue whistle for the buoyancy aid pocket are all things a dinghy sailor will put to use straight away.
What sailing stocking fillers can I buy without knowing their size or boat?
Plenty of sailing stocking fillers need no size or boat knowledge at all. Sailing mugs, a water bottle, a 5L dry bag, sunglasses, a floating sunglasses strap and sailing caps are all safe choices. If you are still unsure, a Sailing Chandlery gift voucher in a smaller value lets the sailor choose for themselves.
What are good stocking fillers for young sailors?
Good stocking fillers for young sailors are simple pieces of kit that help them look after themselves afloat. A water bottle, a small dry bag for spare layers and snacks, a rescue whistle, sunglasses with a retainer strap and a UV neck sleeve are all useful for junior sailors at club sessions, training days and open meetings.
Can I give a gift voucher as a sailing stocking filler?
Yes, a Sailing Chandlery gift voucher makes a great stocking filler. The physical voucher is printed onto card, so it slips neatly into a stocking, and the smaller values suit a stocking filler budget. If you have left it late, a digital voucher is sent as a code and processed quickly. Vouchers are valid for one year.
