swim, wave, rays and boat wear
Boat day involves getting from shore to ship to water to dock. Do you really want to be changing before every activity. Try items that traverse the activities in your day so you can focus on having fun and not changing your clothes.

#1 The Athletic Bikini - SeaFancy Black Colorblock Zipper Back Sporty Bikini Top with Boy Short Set
How practical! A high-waisted, two piece, sporty bikini. Just throw a t-shirt over this comfortable swimsuit, slip on a pair of water friendly sneaks and you are good-to-go. When you reach for a faraway object or swim in a rough wave and . . . no exposed parts. You are fine. The material has SPF of 45. Sunscreen required on any parts exposed but the suit has you covered. I love the zipper so you don’t have to strangle yourself getting the top off and on. Aren’t wet clothes extra hard to get off? Available in 13 colors and a range of sizes.
#2 The Romper - Free People For Movement Olina Romper
Come on. You love the idea of this. It looks adorable and - save a pair of shoes - you are dressed and ready for the day. With a zipper in the front to adjust its snugness, it keeps that decolletage area protected from the sun. The one color options (black, pink and green) are slimming and fun. The shorts allow for more coverage.
#3 The Tankini and Skirt - Garnet Hill High Tide Racerback Tankini Top and Swim Skirt
What a great way to enjoy your boat day. Swipe on some sunscreen, grab your glasses and put your hair up in a pony. Racerback, machine washable, sewn in softcups and UPF 50+ sun protection. Also available in all a black and white pattern. But I think these colors would look good on light skin, medium tones and darker skin. Wow.
#4 - The Rashguard and short - Hakea Aire Turtle Neck Rashguard and Short
My favorite combo. I like my legs free for some sun and fun and I like being covered on top for extra sun protection. These pieces are SPF 50. High neck. Quick dry. I stay a little warmer and it can be hot on really sunny days but it just makes me hop in the water more.
#5 - The long sleeve wetsuit - Cynthia Rowley Colorblock Wetsuit
How easy. You are covered up save your legs which are easy to smear with sunscreen (tips on sunscreen and how to apply in another post). You can slip it off with a zipper in the back. The color block pattern is slimming. It is THE piece to wear from shore to ship to water to deck time.
