Gill’s UV Tec Zip Neck Polo

polo

A long summer’s cruise can get even longer if you get fried in the sun the first day. This polo from Gill is here to help. The lightweight, technical fabric has 50-plus UV protection and wicks moisture and dries quickly to keep you comfortable. The zip neck lets you open up the shirt and breathe when it heats up, and the polo is still stylish enough to wear shore-side after you’ve tied up for the day. $55.95.

10 Places to Cruise With a Catamaran
