This summer, we keep finding ourselves on boats, dockside, and fully embracing the nautical vibes that are everywhere this season. Whether you're enjoying an afternoon aboard a friend's skiff, spending sunset dockside over dinner with friends, sipping cocktails on a yacht, or exploring the Mediterranean by catamaran, there's no reason to sacrifice style for salt spray. We've curated the perfect list of sandals to sail through summer in, each one tailored to a different kind of boating adventure.
Coasting off the Cape - White Geo Sandal
If you're spending the afternoon with friends aboard a boat that has been in your family for generations, the White Geo Sandal should be your shoe of choice. It pairs perfectly with linen trousers and a striped nautical sweater for when the wind picks up and that salty New England chill settles into the air. As you slurp oysters with friends, watch seagulls glide overhead, and gently rock to the lull of the waves, this is the shoe you'll want to be wearing.
Tropical Yachting - Rafia Wave Sandal
Boating in the tropics carries a completely different energy and calls for a look that matches the turquoise waters, iridescent shells, and mai tais enjoyed aboard a yacht. The Raffia Wave Sandal is the perfect pair for the occasion. Whether you're dressing up for an onboard dinner, sipping cocktails with fruits in their names, and indulging in all the local seafood you can imagine, or simply lounging on deck, sunbathing and catching up with friends, this is the chic shoe to pair with your flowy sundresses, oversized sunglasses, and vibrant vacation prints.
European Island Hopping - Cognac Square Sandal
Summer calls for Mediterranean escapes, island hopping, and wandering the cobblestone streets of the charming coastal villages of Italy, Greece, and every stop in between. For adventures like these, you'll want the Cognac Square Sandal by your side for days spent exploring ashore and a simple, elegant sandal for the sailing in between. Perfectly paired with your European-chic looks, breezy linens, and silk headscarves, this sandal does it all, from seaside dinners in Positano to champagne toasts in Saint-Tropez after you've docked for the evening.
Bay Area Boating - Tidal Blue V-Slide
Although the Tidal Blue V-Slide is technically not a sandal, it's far too perfect of a boat shoe not to include in this list. For days spent cruising around the bay, whale watching, indulging in fresh seafood, and spotting sea otters munching on urchins while kelp forests sway below, you'll need the perfect nautical look to match the occasion. Whether it's a warmer day that calls for jeans and a button-down, or a foggy chill rolls in and you find yourself reaching for a cable-knit sweater that makes you feel like a lighthouse keeper, this shoe pairs effortlessly with your coastal-chic wardrobe and is comfortable enough for long afternoons spent lounging on deck and rocking with the waves.
Dockside Dining - Black Point Sandal
Whether you're enjoying a fine dining experience dockside or sipping sunset drinks aboard the boat, this shoe fits every vibe. Summer calls for outdoor dining, whether you're indulging in caviar and a spritz or digging into fish and chips or a lobster roll at the local clam shack. Pair it with some gold jewelry and your chicest shades, and you've got the perfect look to carry you from afternoon into evening. Whether styled with your most elegant dinner attire or a more relaxed ensemble for watching the sun slip below the horizon with friends, the Black Point Sandal does it all.
