An essential item on board any boat, PFDs should be top of mind when refreshing your boat for summer. This four-pack of Type II PFDs is at its lowest 2023 price for Prime Day. The vests are US Coastguard approved for coastal use, but if you want to do some serious offshore sailing, you’ll need a Type I lifejacket.

Another budget brand that’s received high praise from our reviewers, Intex has chopped more than 40% off the price of its entry-level inflatable kayak for Prime Day. You get a hand pump and a paddle included, but the 100kg weight limit means this isn’t suitable for bigger boaters.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT AMAZON PRIME DAY
What is Amazon Prime Day?
Think of it as another Black Friday. Prime Day is a 48-hour flash sale from Amazon, where, for two days only, consumers can grab a whole host of bargains. It’s online only and is held to mark Amazon’s birthday. Prime Day started in 2015 on Amazon’s 20th birthday, with this year being its 28th.

Lots of big brands are offering deals, such as Philips, Bosch, Miele and Samsung, but we’ve also seen plenty of sailing brands getting involved too, such as Bluefin, Helly Hansen, Sebago, Sperry and Steiner.
*How does sizing affect Prime Day deals?
Shopping for clothes in the Prime Day sales can be frustrating as the biggest discounts are always on the least popular sizes (XS or XL). That’s why we’ve marked the size-dependant discounts with an * as the right size for you may not have such a big discount.
What do you classify as a Prime Day deal?
We’ve covered a huge range of Prime Day deals, from waterproof speakers to dehumidifiers, and depending on the RRP, a small discount can add up to a lot. But we’ve dedicated this page to the big discounts, with 33% or more shaved from the list price.
When does Prime Day end?
The Prime Day sale ends at midnight tonight in whatever time zone you’re reading this. However, some deals may last longer, so we’ll update this page tomorrow in case you’re still mulling over your options then.
