A Short List Of What To Bring On My Boat Trip
Making plans for a day on the water wouldn’t be complete without something to eat. But what to bring when you have limited cold storage capacity and can’t reheat your food? We’ve compiled a list of the five best foods to bring on your next boating excursion that are easy and delicious.

Pasta Salad
A cold pasta salad with chicken or vegetables, accompanied by a delicious dressing such as pesto or simply olive oil, is a great option, easy to serve and eat once in the pot. You can make it a day ahead and refrigerate it to maintain its freshness. Find the ingredients here!
