As a boating enthusiast, finding the perfect gear and clothing for your time on the water can be half the fun. I prefer to shop locally and support Canadian companies when I can, but sometimes, it is fun to snag an amazing deal from online discount retailers. In this article, I’ll compare seven popular options: Temu, Light in the Box, Aosom, Rotita, Ador, Shein and (of course) Amazon.
Temu
This newcomer to the online discount retail scene offers a vast array of products, including water sports gear and clothing. With its user-friendly interface and attractive prices, Temu is quickly gaining popularity among bargain hunters. You can find everything from swimwear to inflatable water toys at prices that won't sink your budget. Temu also offers a variety of stylish and affordable clothing options, perfect for a casual day on the boat. Their collection of oversized sunglasses is fantastic. You can receive additional discounts and promo codes by downloading the app. I have ordered nautical-themed beach towels, floating drink holders, pool floaties, and a rhinestone water bottle.

Light in the Box is a well-established player in the online discount market, known for its diverse product offerings. Especially its wide selection of yachty clothing and accessories, from flowy dresses to sun hats and water shoes, you can find stylish and affordable options without dipping into the diesel fund. Keep an eye out for their frequent sales and promotions to snag even better deals. I have ordered casual clothes, jackets, amazing sofa covers, and even peel-and-stick wallpaper!

Primarily known for its outdoor and home goods, Aosom is a fantastic choice for boaters looking for larger items like kayaks, paddleboards, and sunshades. They also have an impressive line up of pet supplies, sports gear, and games. Although their boating-specific inventory may be more limited compared to other retailers, Aosom is still worth checking out for its affordable prices and occasional gems.

This online fashion retailer offers a wide range of clothing options, including swimwear and beach cover-ups perfect for a day on the water. With its trendy designs and budget-friendly prices, Rotita is an excellent choice for boaters who want to look stylish without breaking the bank. Keep in mind that sizing may vary, so be sure to check the size charts before ordering. I have ordered a number of bathing suits and cover-ups and they are good quality but again, check the size guide because they vary widely. They also over additional discounts through the app.

While Ador may not be as well-known as some of the other retailers on this list, it's still worth exploring for its unique finds and affordable prices. This up-and-coming online discount retailer offers a curated selection of super fun summer dresses in premium fabrics. Check out their “City to Beach” collection for some yachty outfits. I have ordered a couple of long dresses and am happy with the quality.

Shein is a popular online fast-fashion retailer that offers a wide range of affordable clothing, accessories, and lifestyle products for women, men, and children. Shein is known for its low prices, with many items costing less than $20. This makes it an attractive option for budget-conscious shoppers.
I have found that new items are added to the website daily, including when it’s a rainy day, and you aren’t shopping for anything in particular. Shein encourages customers to share photos of themselves wearing the brand's clothing, providing potential buyers with real-life examples of how the items look. This can go both ways! It can be good or not so good.
I have placed a couple of orders for loungewear and casual clothes, which I am happy with. You have to check the sizes for each item because they are all different, and some of the quality is what you would expect for the price. Also, it's great for giant sunglasses!

As the world's largest online retailer, Amazon offers an unparalleled selection of boating products and accessories. With Amazon Prime, you can enjoy fast, free shipping on many items. Just be sure to read product reviews carefully to ensure you're getting a quality product. Always double-check the delivery dates, as some products ship from overseas and can take much longer. Many products are available from local warehouses and will ship overnight. They even have a 4 a.m. delivery option if you have a secure front door.
