The last gasp of summer, which officially ends on September 2, is meant to be enjoyed on the water. Last week, we gave you a list of eight great books for the boat. This time around, we have items that you won’t realize are indispensable until you’re on the water and have left them behind.

Whether you’re taking a sunset cruise, beach excursion, or ocean voyage, supreme comfort and extreme fashion should be the two guiding mantras before Labor Day washes you back to reality.

We’ve put together a packing list that is certain to please. Here is the best of boat and beach accouterments, from sunscreen to swim trunks to suitcases. Throw in some toiletries and tech gadgets and the trip will be as stylish as it is restful.
