Whether you throw a party for dad or take him out fishing, we have a few tips to make your day special with a little coastal style.

Have a bash to celebrate Dad. Throw a nautical themed party for dad and decorate with authentic ship decor like vintage lanterns, buoys, ship wheels and boat stripe coastal linens.

Take Dad fishing. You don't have to go all out with a fishing charter. Keep it simple, pack some of his favorite snacks, get some bait and grab the fishing poles. Dad will appreciate being by the sea with a pole in the water. Sometimes it's the little things. 

Make his favorite fresh catch or low boil.  Check our blog for more great seaside recipes from the galley at Our Boat House. This surf n turf burger will be a big hit!
