The Adventure Collection from Axopar and Jobe Watersports

Watersports toys and gear are essential elements in countless boating experiences. Hopping off the swim platform and into a kayak to explore an anchorage, grabbing a sea scooter to dive beneath the surface and check out the coral, tossing a dry bag into the tender to protect phones and glasses while playing with tow toys—all of it adds layer after layer of happiness and excitement to being on a boat.

In recognition of how integral this kind of gear is to fun days afloat, the boatbuilding company Axopar partnered with Jobe Watersports to create the Adventure Collection.

Dry Bags ($33 to $45) These come in three sizes and can attach to paddleboards or kayaks. Courtesy Axopar Gama Inflatable Kayak ($1,040) It can be set up for one or two people by repositioning the seat. The neoprene is anti-scratch for durability. Courtesy Axopar

“The gear is perfect for bringing along on the boat, but its possibilities are so much greater,” says Jan-Erik Viitala, founding partner of Axopar Boats. “Imagine packing an inflatable two-person kayak or SUP board into a backpack and unlocking a whole new world of exploration. Curious minds can uncover hidden coves and secret caves, places only accessible with this kind of watersports gear.”

Sea Scooter ($1,105) This self-floating, electrically powered underwater scooter can be used in depths to 98 feet. It has three speeds and weighs 7.7 pounds. Courtesy Axopar Cooler Bag ($220) Up to 24 cans stay chilled in this cooler bag for as long as 48 hours. The bag floats, which should make it a fan favorite at raft-ups, and it has a leakproof zipper to keep ice melt where it belongs. Courtesy Axopar

The collection includes an inflatable kayak for two, a stand-up paddleboard, an underwater scooter, a life vest, a range of dry bags and a cooler bag—with a line of sail-racing clothing and accessories on tap to add early this year. It is expected to include jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, caps and bags.

SUP Board ($1,130) This inflatable stand-up paddleboard is described as “super stiff.” It comes with an adjustable three-piece paddle, a pump, and a waterproof bag for stowage. Courtesy Axopar

There are two ways to get Adventure Collection gear. Outside of Europe, anybody can purchase it by the piece or on the whole through Axopar or Jobe dealers. Or boaters who purchase a new Axopar boat can spec the collection like any other option, for delivery alongside the boat.
