Dream Gifts for Sailors

For the really special sailor on your list

If you know someone who gets nostalgic about the rope wristlets of their childhood but deserves a little something more special, an upgrade on the original in the form of sterling silver, gold or platinum might be called for. This 6-strand Turk’s head bracelet brings true style to nautical flair. Turk’s head 6-strand bracelet, $3,300-$20,000 depending on metal choice, www.agacorrea.com

 Sail the British Virgin Islands in the lap of luxury aboard the 156-foot Arabella this winter. The American Sailing Association is offering two weeklong cruises, in December and January, on the beautiful and comfortable sailboat.  Having just 20 staterooms keeps the comfort-level high. ASA Arabella cruise, $1,512- $3,450 per person, www.asa.com/arabella

It’s a surfboard! No, it’s a paddle-less paddleboard! No, that’s not quite right either. We’re not sure how to describe the eFoil, but this silent, lithium-ion battery-powered foiling board certainly looks like a lot of fun. The battery offers an average run time of an hour of use at up to 25 mph and the carbon fiber foil and board keep the unit to a lightweight 29 pounds. This is one way to have the most fun in the anchorage. Lift eFoil, $12,000, www.liftfoils.com
