What to Wear Boating this Summer
Long days on the water call for more than just a cute swimsuit and a big hat. Between the sun, wind and salt spray, your outfit needs to work with you—keeping you protected, polished, and perfectly cool. Whether you’re setting sail, cruising the coast, or lounging dockside, here’s what to wear boating in the summer for effortless style and all-day protection.
UPF 50+ Sun Shirt That Looks Like Resortwear
Skip the hoodie. Our tailored sun shirts feel like a second skin and look like luxury—made with Italian fabric that breathes, moves and protects. UPF 50+ is built into every fiber, providing serious sun defense without relying on sticky sunscreen.
☀️ Pro tip: The waist-length JOJU won’t fly up in the wind or cling when damp.
Swimwear That Works Underneath
Start with a sleek bikini or a one-piece that dries quickly and won’t dig in. Look for clean lines, neutral colors, and straps that won’t clash with your cover-up.
👙 Need to strip down for a dip? Your UPF shirt can double as a chic rash guard.
Lightweight Shorts or Quick-Dry Skirt
Pair your sun shirt with breezy shorts or a moisture-wicking wrap skirt for coverage that doesn’t feel heavy. Avoid denim—it stays wet for hours and traps heat.
🩳 Tip: Look for quick-dry performance fabrics that dry in minutes and move when you do. Polyester and nylon blends work well.
Polarized Sunglasses & a Secure Hat
The sun reflects off water—double the exposure. Choose oversized polarized sunglasses and a hat with a chin strap or secure fit so you don’t lose it to the wind.
😎 Tip: We love Goodr sunglasses for the boat as they lightweight & super durable.
Sandals That Won’t Slip
Deck shoes or sporty slides with grip are a must. Bonus points for waterproof and easy to rinse. Leave the leather flats and flip-flops at home.
👡 No one looks chic slipping on wet fiberglass.
A Chic Layer for Sunset
Even summer breezes can turn cool. Bring a lightweight overshirt or wrap in a breathable knit or linen-blend—something easy to toss on after a dip or dinner.
Boat Days, Elevated.
Your boating outfit should be as smart as your sun protection. In 2025, you don’t have to choose between function and fashion. JOJU's UPF 50+ sun shirts are designed for movement, made to flatter, and crafted to keep you cool under pressure—on or off the boat.
