29 January 2024 • Written by Katia Damborsky

For the husband who likes simple style to the girlfriend who's dreaming of a sun-kissed Greek yacht charter, these are the Valentine's Day gifts the BOAT team is coveting this year... 

For the one who loves a weekend break

Carl Friedrik Compact Weekender

Polished style meets practicality in this Carl Friedrik Nubuck weekend bag, which comes complete with stain-resistant lining and a handy exterior pocket. An olive colourway and mahogany detailing sets this apart from the crowds, and a choice of two straps ensures it's versatile as both a gym bag or travel bag, plus it gets bonus points for its soft, yacht-friendly composition.  £395, carlfriedrik.com/

For the fragrance collector

Amaffi Marococa For Women

With floral notes of jasmine and gardenia balanced by a gourmand fizz of frangipani and touches of tonka beans, passion fruit and citrusy yuzu ,this fragrance is well-rounded and perfectly suited to springtime. The sculpted bottle will look at home on any vanity and it comes in a case lined with pink velvet that can double as a jewellery box. £4,500, amaffi.com/

For the one who’d rather be abroad:

Sabrina Candle Fig Tree Fragrance

Fresh fig and subtle oud notes come together to create a rich, full-bodied bougie with excellent throw and signature Sabrina packaging. The perfect gift for someone dreaming of sun-baked Greek beaches backed by leafy fig trees. €145, sabrinamontecarlo.com/

For the man who likes simple style:

Graff love knot cufflinks in white gold


Crafted in 18-carat white gold with a whale-back closure, these cufflinks are an elevated take on a simple style. Wear for meetings, special occasions or date nights on deck. £8,100, graff.com/

For the one with cold feet

Frette Icon Slippers

Embroidered with the classic Frette emblem, this cosy pair of slippers is made of buttery soft leather and crisp cotton for a soft finish on the foot. Ideal for wearing around the home or padding around on teak decks – best paired with one of Frette's feather-soft linen bathrobes.  £190, frette.com/

For the woman who’s always rushing:

Panerai Luminor Due Prada Re-Nylon 38mm

Panerai's Luminor Due collection was designed to blend historic Panera style with a sporty twist and refined touches. The result is the ultimate everyday wear, with water resistance to splashes and light swimming and the added elegance of a polished steel bezel and baby pink strap. £6,000, panerai.com/

For the traveller

Smythson Heart Keyring in Panama, Orange

This tangerine colourway of this Smythson keyring will add a pop of colour to any luggage, and the heart motif makes it the ideal luxury Valentine's Day gift. Finished in crossgrain leather with gold etching.  £70, smythson.com/

For the young at heart

Riva toy - Aquariva

Available as either a full set or as individual models, these wooden Riva toys are fun to put together and make for great additions to any superyacht study. The Aquariva is our favourite - but the Aquarama and Rivarama models make for equally lovely gifts for the Riva aficionado. £158, rivaboutique.com/

For the one who’s always hosting

Whispering Angel, 75cl

For the Valentine who's always hosting, a bottle of vino is a fail-safe gift. This Côtes de Provence classic mixes zingy citrus and grapefruit with a dry finish that lends itself well to a wide range of cuisines. £20.99 waitrose.com/
