The dad who takes the boat out further than he tells anyone
A six watt handheld VHF that floats, rated IPX8 submersible, with a dual-colour screen and all marine channels.
It is the safety kit he keeps meaning to buy and never does, because nothing goes wrong until it does. Floating and submersible are not marketing on a boat: the moment a radio matters is usually the moment it has been dropped in water.

The dad who takes other people’s kids out on the water and has been meaning for years to put a proper knife on his belt instead of the kitchen one rattling in the cockpit locker
The dad with a tinnie or car-topper who launches before first light and currently relies on a head torch and optimism
The dad whose boat floor is a scatter of pliers, braid scissors and half-open lure packets by eight in the morning
The dad who has already killed one phone on a wet run home and now double-bags everything in zip-locks before he leaves the ramp
