It’s here! Amazon’s big summer sale, Prime Day 2024 is running this week (Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th July) and there should be some huge discounts to tempt boaters to part with their hard-earned cash.  Last year saw some really good deals from Prime Day paddleboard deals to dry bag deals.

You’ll need an Amazon Prime membership to take part in the biggest shopping event of the year (so far), but if you don’t want to subscribe, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial of Prime instead.

You can cancel at any time within 30 days, so if you subscribe now, you can take advantage of Prime Day 2024 boating deals and you’ll still have plenty of time to cancel without paying the year’s subscription fee.

Although Prime day is not yet upon us. These stores all had good deals last year, so we’ve linked to their deals pages below as we expect they will have some decent deals for Prime Day 2024.

Editor’s picks: The absolute best deals

Hydro-Force Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board – save 55%
This stand up paddleboad is at the very basic end of the spectrum and, cards on the table this is not one of the many models we have tested. However, if you want a paddleboard and all the associated kit to get you out on the water, you’re going to be hard pressed to find anything cheaper.

Sevylor QuickPak K1 1-Person Inflatable Kayak – save 31%
We have not tested this K1 inflatable kayak, but our technical editor, Fox Morgan has tested a 2-person version, the Sevylor Madison 2 and was pleased with the performance. Being smaller and lighter than the 2-man option it is likely to suffer more in wind, but otherwise a bit of a bargain inflatable kayak from a well-know country.

Waterproof bluetooth speaker – save 55% 
First of all a little warning. Although this is marketed as a waterproof speaker, water resistant would be a better term as the IPX5 rating means it will not stand up to full immersion. That being said, if you’re looing for a speak for use on your boat or at the beach this could be the one for you.
