Coolers have come a long way in recent years. Gone are the utilitarian Styrofoam or Plastic insulated ones, the kind if you broke, lost, or left behind at a picnic you didn’t worry about losing. In are the roto-molded, thermos-insulated, air-tight, hi-tech, purposely built coolers that adore the deck of a million-dollar center console like a designer label on a supermodel’s jeans. Yeti, Engel, Pelican are just a few brands who have created a niche market, appealing to those who want their ice to last a week without melting. The fact is, these coolers, albeit a bit pricey, do an amazing job in keeping food, drinks, bait, fish, and ice cold for days. When you consider how well they work in preserving your contents, they really pay for themselves in short order. Additionally, these purposely build coolers are designed to fit specific applications on stand up paddleboards, kayaks, boats and more. And they serve double duty for seating, rod holders, ancillary power, some even have radios & blenders build in. One cooler eliminates the space required by other devices, serves as seating, and does the job it was deigned to do. Nautical Ventures has an extensive lineup of hi-tech cooler options for a host of boating & kayaking applications. We been helping the South Florida waterman rig their boats, kayaks and SUPs for over 30 years.
