Boat Lunch! It is a marvelous thing! Spend all day and evening cruising in the boat, beaching and swimming……eating fresh and easy peasy boat foods!

Fun, colorful and convenient are the perfect ingredients for a fresh and fantastic boat lunch! As a family of five with young children, we are busy! I am busy! Prepping for long adventure days, on the water, or in the backcountry shouldn't be difficult. With the help of these quick tips and your local, favorite grocer, we will have you eating an amazing boat lunch and on the water in no time!

A go-to boating buffet of delicious finger foods that pleases the entire family is made easy. Chop up a rainbow of fresh veggies, prep a hearty cracker and cheese spread, whip up some quick mess-free wraps, toss in a selection of fun treats, and pack the cooler!

Quick Tips for the perfect boat lunch:

-Skip the plates and utensils. None required.
-Pack no-mess foods. Even these Sunny-D bottles are spill proof and are a kid's favorite!
-Use containers that sit flat in your cooler and allow for smaller ones to fit inside. I find my containers at Walmart or through my local Tupperware rep.
-Skip the line and shop online! Zoom in, park, get loaded, and zoom out!
-Shopping online allows you to save your order and simply re-order for your next adventure! Easy!
- Skip the condiments in your wraps! It’s messy and makes them soggy. We love cucumber and thinly sliced cream cheese wrap and ham and cheese wraps.
- Another delicious addition is pre-made chicken or pork skewers. And chips and dip!
