Guest, we are pleased to announce that Hydrophase Ridesteady is offering an extra $100 off for JETBOATERS.NET members on any Ridesteady for Yamaha Speed Control system purchased through March 7th, 2025. Ridesteady is a speed control system (“cruise control”) that uses GPS satellites or engine RPM to keep your boat at the set speed you choose. On twin engine boats, it will also automatically synchronize your engines.
While on the boat I have Oakley sandals and Peppers or bomber sunglasses. All of the glasses on my boat float. While off shore I have my pair of Oakley sunglasses.

I go with Chacos for flip flops. I'm rough on flip flops for some reason and they last a long time. I like the non-marking soles too.
I'm also a huge Costa fan. I broke mine fishing last year and the frames were discontinued. They let me pick any new frames I wanted and included new lenses for just the cost of shipping. Great customer service.
Polarized Ray Bans, cannot stand sun reflecting off water without them. Docksiders to the boat and either barefoot or water shoes on the boat. Many of the sandy beaches we go to have populations of fresh water clams that will cut you up if you are not wearing something.
I still have a 12 year old pair of Van's Flip Flop's, wish they still made this particular pair, these things have treated me well along with my Olukai's.
I usually don't lose sunglasses but the lake claimed my Oakley Gascans last year.
I can't stand the thing between my toes on flip flops so I've been wearing Ecco Biom Chiappo sandals for years, most comfortable sandal I've ever worn.
A friend of mine recommended Serengeti sunglasses, going to check them out this weekend, but I'll probably end up with another pair of Gascans!
I also have a pair of gas cans at the bottom of a lake thanks to a seadoo spark
@Ronnie - crocs actually makes some decent water shoes. I picked up a pair in Key West last year. Correction, my wife picked me up a pair as @DieselCamel and I wanted nothing to do with a Crocs store and the beer was tasting pretty well. I was pleasantly surprised. Still not amazing comfort and support, but far better than any other water shoes I've ever worn.
Not big into sandals. But sunglasses - Oakleys. I have 10 pairs. And I just bought another pair last night. Can't help it!
Now I need to find an Oakley display case - I see them pop up on eBay once in a while.
As for them sinking - I use floating croakies for my boating pair.

I should have bought Oakley Stock a long time ago. Besides sunglasses and flip flops I am a T-Shirt hoarder, love cool shirts, probably have over 50 in the walk in closet. I guess women have a shoe thing, me I like T-Shirts Lol.
I am now a minority...my eyes stopped letting me wear over the counter glasses years ago, and my prescription eye wear is always a challenge. I have bought Serengetis for years and loved them, and Ray Bans, but the challenge today is getting the tint right on prescription eye wear. Also, with older eyes, you need more light to see certain things, so looking through deeply tinted glass just works looking outside. When you look down at a phone, instrument panel, or other needed glance, you can't read things as easy...so I too wear my sunglasses less and less. I have found a brand that is great, and I hated them when I saw my parents with them on because they were goofy looking. But they are actually perfect, except for flying, because they are polarized. They are Cocoons, and they actually come in some pretty stylish styles, but the ones that worked for me were a more boxy design, that look like safety glasses except they are sunglasses.
The old style Crocs are some of the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. Waterproof, light, they float, and they used to be cheap. The only thing I don't like about them is bare feet in them doesn't feel good to me, and I tend to only wear them bare on the boat. Otherwise, I wear a short sock with them. I think my wife as about 4 pairs of Crocs, and I have three...NO! I have four too! lol
