The Best Wireless Speakers For Your Superyacht

Whether you're isolating onboard your superyacht or at home, a bit of music, an interesting podcast or even an audio book is a great way to while away the hours in the sun. The right  luxury headphones are great for some occasions, but if you're lounging in your garden or on the deck of your yacht, a wireless speaker is just the right gadget to allow everyone to enjoy.

Q acoustics Q Active 200

For those wanting to upgrade their home or superyacht sound system, the brand new Q Ative speakers from Q acoustics provide a completely connected experience combined with actively amplified, dynamic sound. Versatile and expertly designed, this sleek speaker offers unbeatable bass and audio integration across all rooms for true surround sound. They're also comptabile with a range of voice assistants and listening or streaming services. 

Bose Soundlink Revolve

Providing 360 sound from the wrap around speaker this wireless model from Bose is one that easily fills a room with top quality noise. It's splash-proof, which is great for taking on board with a satisfyingly long batter life.

Master & Dynamic MA770

The first speaker from luxe headphone specialist Master & Dynamic, the MA770 was designed in collaboration with internationally-renowned architect David Adjaye - a pedigree evidenced by its modern, sculptural profile. Constructed in a concrete composite that promises advanced acoustic benefits, the speaker is fitted with top-of-the-line components and Chromecast for multi-room link up.

JBL Boombox

Hark back to the glory days of ghetto blasters with JBL’s Boombox. Designed for waterside use and with deep bass, it will play for up to 24 hours on a single charge.

Devialet Gold Phantom

If you like your music loud than few wireless speakers offer more than Devialet's Gold Phantom. A luxury speaker with a whopping 4,500W of power, which translates into a sound pressure level of 108dB/m - roughly the same as your average private jet! While it's not as easily portable than the others listed here, weighing in at 11.4kg, what it loses in weight it makes up for in style with a striking curved design and 22 karat gold-plated covers.

Naim Audio Mu-so 2nd Generation

If you were to turn this picture around, you'd see the impressive speaker system at the back of this slimline wireless model. Providing exceptional sound quality it can seamlessly connect to your phone, TV, USB or HDMI, though again it's not the most portable weighing in at 11.2kg.

Bang & Olufsen Beosound Balance

Delightfully compact without any compromise on acoustic quality. It's a subtle, unobtrusive addition to any room it's designed to be placed close to a wall so the sound beams bounce off it around the room. We particularly like the touch interface which only lights up upon approach.

Ultimate Ears Boom 2

One of the few wireless speakers designed with waterproof capabilities in mind, the UE Boom 2 can be submerged in depths up to one metre for 30 minutes meaning it can be used anywhere from pool to shower with complete confidence. A 15 hour battery life, integrated Siri and Google Now and 360-degree sound make it primed for modern life while those who really want to get the party started will be pleased to know that up to 150 UE speakers in the various Boom ranges can be connected for the ultimate experience.

Bang And Olufsen Beosound Stage

A slick, discreet design, this speaker is ideal for those who love a minimalist aesthetic. Whether it's placed on a TV stand or mounted to the wall, it's fairly slimline and doesn't look too bulky. As for the acoustics, you're in for a treat thanks to the 11 amplifiers (speakers). With a 3-channel sounds system it's like recreating a cinema experience at home.

The 6 Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers For A Boat

We only recommend products we love and that we think you will, too. We may receive a portion of sales from products purchased from this article, which was written by our Commerce team.

Water and electronics don’t generally mix, but with the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers for a boat, you can bring the entertainment aboard without worrying about spills, splashes, or even brief submersion. Available in a range of price points, these speakers boast IPX7 or IPX67 ratings, so they’re built to stand up to the elements, and some have Bluetooth ranges of up to 100 feet.

What To Consider When Shopping For The Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers For A Boat

Most boat-friendly speakers have a two-digit IP (or “Ingress Protection”) rating, which will tell you just how durable the speaker is when exposed to the elements. The first digit represents the level of protection against solids, and the second digit indicates protection against liquids. You’ll generally come across speakers with either an IPX7 rating or an IP67 rating. An IPX7 rating means your speaker will be able to withstand being immersed in up to 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes (but isn’t rated for protection against solids). An outdoor speaker with an IP67 rating has the same degree of water protection, but it has the added benefit of being able to stand up to dry elements like dust, sand, and fine particulates — in short, it’ll offer a bit more protection and durability than an IPX7 speaker.

No one wants to run out of power when out on the water, where you may not have a way to easily recharge a speaker. Most waterproof wireless speakers have a battery life of between 10 and 24 hours, giving you the ability to enjoy music for a long day — or multiple days — without having to plug in and recharge.

Bluetooth Range

Since portable Bluetooth speakers link to your smartphone or other device, knowing a model’s Bluetooth range will help you figure out how far you can travel from the speaker without losing connection. Some models enable a crisp connection from as far as 100 feet away, while others max out at around 30 feet.

Thanks to innovations in speaker driver design, it’s possible to find a Bluetooth speaker capable of producing a rich, deep sound in a compact body. With that said, if you’re taking your speaker on a boat, you’ll likely be choosing between a wide, stable design that won’t tip over if you hit a bump on the water, a slim “pill” style design that slips easily into a backpack or pocket, or a highly portable clip-on model that you can secure to a bag or boat rail.

No matter where your outdoor adventures take you, the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers below will hold up to whatever the elements throw your way.

Shop The Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers For A Boat

In a hurry? These are the top picks:

• The Overall Best: Bose SoundLink Flex Bluetooth Speaker
• The Runner-Up: JBL Flip 5 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
• The Best Budget Speaker: INSMY Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
• The Best Ultra-Compact Speaker : JBL Clip 4 Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker
• The Best Boombox-Style Speaker: Anker Soundcore Waterproof Motion Boom Outdoor Speaker
• The Best Speaker With Light Effects: Altec Lansing LifeJacket Mini Waterproof Bluetooth Speaker

1. The Overall Best

Bose is famous for offering top tier sound quality, making it a go-to for anyone in the market for crisp, clear audio. For outdoor adventures, the brand’s highly rated SoundLink Flex speaker is designed to float — which could prove helpful if it finds its way overboard while you’re out on the water. It also has an IP67 rating, which means it’s protected against dust, sand, and limited water immersion.

The speaker has a play time of up to 12 hours when fully charged and a Bluetooth range of 30 feet, which is a bit shorter compared to some of the other options on this list. However it can connect to other Bose Bluetooth speakers to create immersive surround sound. It also has a built-in microphone, which allows you to take calls on your smartphone, making it super versatile. This is the most expensive pick on the list, so if you’re more concerned about budget than you are about sound quality, you’ll want to look elsewhere.

According to a reviewer: “Great speaker, awesome Bose sound quality you expect, very durable and tough. Surprisingly so, took it on the boat and lake water and sand didn’t affect it at all. Definitely need to charge over night if you’re going to be playing at full volume.”

IP rating: IP67 | Play time: 12 hours | Bluetooth range: Up to 30 feet | Floats? Yes | Dimensions: 2 x 7.9 x 3.6 inches

2. The Runner-Up

Another highly rated option, the Flip 5 speaker from JBL has a durable body and an IPX7 rating, and comes with a protective hardshell case for transport and storage. When fully charged, it has a play time of 12 hours and a range of up to 50 feet, according to reviewers — 20 feet more than the Bose. Like the Bose, it can connect to other nearby JBL speakers in “PartyBoost” mode, allowing you to create a surround-sound experience.

The speaker’s unique cylindrical design means you can stand it upright or flat, depending on space needs. Unlike the top pick, there’s no microphone, it doesn’t float in water, and it’s not rated for dust or sand protection — so you’ll want to guard this pick a little more carefully — especially when you’re on the beach.

According to a reviewer: “This little speaker is great. If you are wondering if you should buy it, the answer is YES! Great sound, battery lasts forever. Use it on our boats, float trips, ball games, etc. Super convenient and don’t have to worry about water or dropping it. Case is a nice touch to store it.”

IP rating: IPX7 | Play time: 12 hours | Bluetooth ra nge: Up to 50 feet, according to reviewers | Floats? No | Dimensions: 8.7 x 4.6 inches x 4.6 inches

3. The Best Budget Speaker

Despite its wallet-friendly price tag compared to the other models highlighted here, the best budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker still boasts several features that make it great for use on a boat. The IPX7 speaker has a floating design that’ll keep it on the surface of the water if it goes overboard and an impressive 100-foot Bluetooth range — the longest on the list. There’s no microphone, but the speaker has a 24-hour battery life when fully charged, and an included lanyard makes it easy to hang from a variety of places.

As far as durability goes, keep in mind that it’s not rated to withstand dust or sand. Also note that the sound might be inferior to the Bose and JBL options — but several reviewers reported being satisfied with the quality.

According to a reviewer: “I really needed a speaker to take out on our little fishing boat that could withstand a beating and a good amount of water. Also I need it to be louder then the 15 hp motor on the boat. We could hear the speaker even full throttle. I would totally recommend this speaker.”

IP rating: IPX7 | Play time: 12 hours | Bluetooth r ange: Up to 100 feet | Floats ? Yes | Dimensions: 7 x 3 x 2.4 inches

4. The Best Ultra-Compact Speaker

With a super compact body that’s perfect for outdoor adventures, JBL’s Clip 4 speaker is arguably the best Bluetooth speaker under $100 on the list. The IPX67 speaker has a dust-proof and fairly waterproof design, and despite its smaller footprint, JBL’s Pro Sound technology delivers rich audio that any music lover would appreciate.

Along with a 32-foot Bluetooth range and a 10-hour play time, the speaker has a built-in carabiner that can be attached to a bag, rail, or hook for secure storage — but note that it doesn’t float in water. There’s no microphone, and you’ll also want to keep in mind that this pick doesn’t have JBL’s PartyBoost technology, which means you can’t connect it to other speakers for surround sound.

According to a reviewer: “I use this for kayaking on lakes and I love it. Even though I can’t afford an expensive boat with speakers I feel like I get a real experience.”

IP rating: IP67 | Playtime: 10 hours | Range: Up to 32 feet | Floats? No | Dimensions: 1.8 x 3.4 x 5.3 inches

5. The Best Boombox-Style Speaker

For those looking for a waterproof speaker with boombox-style power, Anker’s Soundcore Motion Boom speaker has an optional bass button mode for deeper sound output — perfect if you’re looking for that “boom” effect. The IPX7-rated speaker has a floating design and an upper handle that makes it easy to transport. It can deliver up to 24 hours of performance when fully charged and, while the connectivity range is not provided, one reviewer noted it can remain synced with your smartphone from up to 50 feet away.

The speaker has a built-in microphone, and you can also pair it with an additional Anker speaker for surround-sound listening. The only drawbacks? It’s a bit bulky, and it’s not rated for dust or sand resistance.

According to a reviewer: “I was looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker to take out on the boat. I have a smaller Bluetooth speaker that sounds good indoors but was under powered for [outdoor] settings. The Soundcore Motion Boom sounds great at any level and it blows me away with the kind of sound that comes out of this relatively small package! [...] Also, the battery life is great, and the speaker is waterproof and it floats making this the perfect speaker for me!”

IP rating: IPX7 | Playtime: 24 hours | Range: Up to 50 feet, according to a reviewer | Floats? Yes | Dimensions: 13.6 x 5.8 x 7.9 inches

6. The Best Speaker With Light Effects

With a rugged, floating design and a rating of IP67, Altec Lansing’s LifeJacket Mini speaker is ideal for listening on the water or beach. When fully charged, the speaker can play for up to 16 hours, and it has a range of up to 100 feet. Built-in LED lights add a fun atmosphere to whatever you’re doing, and they can be set to one of five modes, including beat, strobe, and pulse.

A durable outer jacket protects the speaker from impact, making it a good pick if you’re rough on your gear, and the built-in microphone allows you to make calls. The sound quality may not match the JBL or Bose options, but reviewers were generally pleased with the output — especially considering the compact size and wallet-friendly price.

According to a reviewer: “Purchased near 30 days ago and wanted to get some use out of it before I wrote a review. So far this thing has done really well. The battery life is superb (I know it's new), excellent sound quality, and durable. I have gotten it wet (rain) and didn't notice any differences because of the water and it has been knocked around a few times with no problems other than a few scuffs which was to be expected.”

IP rating: IP67 | Play time: 16 hours | Bluetooth r ange: Up to 100 feet | Floats? Yes | Dimensions: 7.6 x 8.3 x 3.4 inches

Best marine speakers: From portable waterproof speakers to high-end systems

The best marine speakers can bring an extra level of musical or audio book joy to life afloat, whether you’re on a day out with friends on a fast open boat, or mid Atlantic on the adventure of a lifetime.

When planning to fit marine speakers they need to be located at a safe distance from compasses and from any sensitive on board electronics.

A distance of at least 1.1m (3ft 8in) is usually required. I’ve come across more than one boat whose speakers had to be moved after the cut outs had been made in the cockpit. You know the old adage: measure twice, cut once.

Looking for Christmas gift inspiration? Check out our guide to the best Christmas gifts for boaters

Well, check your compass while you’re at it.  The best marine speakers can pack a punch,  but they can also knock your compass off by a fair bit too. Be mindful of where you site them!

Fusion Signature 3 marine speakers

Fusion is a giant in this market and has a large range, so you’re likely to find more products from this Garmin group company on other boats than any other brand.

The Signature 3 line includes a wide choice of high-end products with stunning sound quality in a range of styles including classic and high-tech units.

All are waterproofed to IP65 standards and also comply with ISO12216, allowing boat builders to fit them on deck without compromising the vessel’s safety.

The Classic 280W speakers offer excellent performance thanks innovations including a woven fibre composite cone that improves sound definition and allows a higher output, while also increasing protection in a marine environment. They also come with a three – year consumer warranty.

Reasons to buy: IP65 standard, Excellent performance, three-year warranty

Reasons to avoid: Premium price

Specifications: CURV cone technology, waterproof, 280 Watts

Osculati 2 Way Waterproof Speakers

These 60W waterproof stereo speakers are very much at the budget end of the market. However, they will get your boat fitted out with decent sound without breaking the bank.

On the downside, despite the separate tweeter and woofer cones (hence 2-way in the product name), frequency response is quoted at 80-20,000Hz. This means lower tones will not reproduce accurately.

Some of the more expensive options will therefore be a better buy if good sound quality at lower frequencies is a priority.

Overall diameter is 160mm, a cut out of 125mm diameter is required and total depth is 57mm. Minimum compass safe distance is 1.1m.

Reasons to buy: Great budget option, decent fitting size

Reasons to avoid: Sound quality not great at lower frequencies

Specifications: Separate tweeter, waterproof, 80 Watts

Sony XS-MP1611

These 16cm (6.5in) dual-cone speakers are another excellent choice at the lower to mid part of the marine speakers market.

With a frequency range of 45-20,000Hz they offer better bass quality, as well as 140W of power from a dual-cone speaker that’s certified to IPX5 waterproofing standards.

The rigid polypropylene woofer cone is designed to provide a rich bass and clear vocals, while optimising waterproofing and keeping weight down to only 650 grammes (1lb 7oz).

Reasons to buy: Great budget option; decent bass, weight and waterproofing

Reasons to avoid: Higher price options provide a more premium sound and design

Specifications: Wireless, waterproof, 140 watts

Kenwood KFC 2053MRB

These 9-inch (23cm) two-way speakers have a waterproof cone and are able to pump out an impressive 300W of peak power.

In addition to the main speaker there’s a 1-inch balanced dome tweeter and frequency response is specified at 55Hz-20,000Hz, with an impedance of 4 ohms.

They are hefty items at 8.8lb (4kg), with the ferrite woofer magnet alone weighing almost one pound.

These are ideal if you’re looking for good all-round performance from a sensibly priced marine speaker, but make sure your boat’s batteries are up to the task.

Reasons to buy: Incredible sound, good all-round performers

Reasons to avoid: Heavy, power-drainers

Specifications:  Surround sound, water resistant, 300 watts

Buy it now from eBay

Fusion MS RA60

While you’re buying speakers why not upgrade your boat’s stereo unit as well? Fusion’s latest model is a no-brainer for many boat owners is it offers as many features of a high-end marine stereo system as possible at an affordable price.

It benefits from modern aesthetics and an anti-fogging display, plus water resistance to IPX6 and IPX7 standards.

Wireless control is possible via Bluetooth or ANT technologies, with the latter offering easy compatibility with your Garmin Quatix smartwatch or ARX remote control.

In addition to conventional FM and AM reception there’s also a built-in DAB tuner.

Reasons to buy: Wireless control, modern aesthetic, compatible with smartwatches, DAB ability

Buying Guide: 12 Factors To Consider When Choosing the Best Marine Speakers for Your Boat

Before diving into the specifics of each marine speaker, it’s important to understand the key factors that should influence your purchasing decision. Here are 12 essential considerations to help you find the perfect marine speakers for your needs and preferences.

Before diving into your search for the best marine speakers, it’s essential to determine their primary purpose. Your intended use will help guide your choice of speaker type, size, and power. Here are a few examples of different possible uses and the corresponding speaker requirements:

Casual Listening: If you’re a laid-back boater who enjoys smooth sailing or wants some tunes to set the mood while fishing, you might not need the loudest marine speakers on the market. A reliable set of waterproof speakers with decent audio quality should suffice.

Party on the Water: Suppose you’re known for hosting epic boat parties with pumping music. In that case, you’ll want to invest in top-rated marine speakers with higher power output and volume, like the best 6.5 marine speakers or even the best wakeboard tower speakers, to ensure your music can be heard across the water.

Watersports Enthusiast: For those who love waterskiing, wakeboarding, or any other adrenaline-pumping water activity, the best marine audio system might include the loudest marine speakers, such as wakeboard tower speakers, designed to project sound toward the person being towed behind the boat.

Home Theater on the Water: If you stay on your boat overnight and enjoy watching movies or sports events, a surround-sound marine audio setup could be your go-to choice. In this case, you’ll want to look for the best marine stereo systems that can provide immersive sound to enhance your entertainment experience.

By identifying the primary purpose of your marine speakers, you’ll be better equipped to choose a system that aligns with your needs, whether it’s casual listening, full-on party mode, watersports, or a cozy movie night on your boat.

When searching for the best marine speakers, it’s crucial to establish a budget that reflects your needs and wants. Take a moment to weigh the importance of each factor based on your specific requirements, which will help you make an informed decision when purchasing marine speakers. 

Remember that investing in higher-quality speakers may save you money in the long run, as they typically offer better performance and durability.

Consider how much time you spend on your boat and what kind of experience you want while out on the water. Setting a realistic budget based on these factors will ensure you find the right balance between quality and affordability.

At the end of the day, it’s a personal decision, but remember that the primary goal is to enjoy your boating experience. 

Whether you opt for top marine speakers or a more budget-friendly option, make sure your choice enhances your time on the water and brings a smile to your face during every boating adventure.

3. Waterproofing and weather protection

When choosing the best marine speakers, it’s vital to consider their ability to withstand harsh marine environments. 

Look for speakers with high ingress protection (IP) ratings, which indicate resistance to water, dust, and corrosion. Additionally, opt for UV-resistant materials to protect your speakers from sun exposure.

Most marine speakers are water-resistant, typically rated IP65, meaning they can handle moisture, rain, and splashes. However, it’s always a good idea to double-check these ratings to ensure you’re getting the right level of protection. 

If you’re looking for even more robust waterproofing, consider speakers with an IP67 rating, which are fully water protected and can handle the largest splashes or even temporary submersion. Keep in mind that the added benefit of complete water protection often comes at a higher cost.

If your speakers are likely to get splashed or exposed to significant amounts of water, it’s worth investing in fully waterproof speakers to ensure they stand the test of time and keep the tunes playing during your boating adventures.

4. Durability

When it comes to selecting the best marine speakers, durability should be a top priority. To ensure long-lasting performance in harsh marine environments, opt for speakers made of marine-grade materials. 

Look for UV-resistant plastics that can withstand prolonged sun exposure and corrosion-resistant metals like stainless steel or aluminum that resist rust and damage from saltwater.

By choosing speakers with these durable materials, you’ll not only get better performance but also increase the lifespan of your marine audio system, providing you with more enjoyable and worry-free boating experiences in the long run.

In your quest for the best marine speakers, size is an important factor to consider. Before making a decision, take into account the available space on your boat or yacht for installing the speakers, considering both the mounting depth and diameter. 

Smaller speakers may be suitable for tight spaces, while larger speakers can provide better audio output.

It’s important to note that there is no standard size for speakers. Marine speakers typically come in a 6.5″ diameter, but keep in mind that this size may have larger grilles. 

For example, a 6.5″ speaker might have a 7.5″ grill.  Be sure to factor in these measurements when selecting the right speaker for your boat, so you can achieve the best fit and performance.

6. Mounting

When searching for the best 6.5” marine speakers, it’s crucial to consider the mounting options and ensure compatibility with your boat’s design. Different speakers offer various mounting options, such as a flush or surface mounting.

If replacing existing speakers: Carefully examine the diameters, depth, screw locations, and depths of your current speakers to ensure the new ones will be a suitable replacement.

For new installations: Consider the location, direction, and speaker type, whether it’s a large bass unit or small tweeters, to achieve optimal sound quality.

Magnetic shielding: Magnets and compasses don’t work well together, so avoid installing speakers too close to the compass. If you need to place them nearby, ensure the speakers or the compass have some level of magnetic shielding.

Taking these factors into account during the mounting process will help you achieve the best performance and enjoy your marine audio system to its fullest potential.

7. Compatibility

As you search for the best boat speakers, it’s essential to ensure they are compatible with your existing marine audio system or stereo receiver. Consider whether your system uses a wired or wireless connection, such as Bluetooth.

For wired connections, make sure to check the specifications of your amp or head unit to confirm that it supports the impedance (measured in ohms) of the speakers you plan to purchase. 

Most marine speakers have an impedance of 4 ohms, but there are options with different impedance levels, such as 2, 6, or 8 ohms. Connecting speakers with mismatched impedance can result in reduced sound quality, distortion, or even damage to the speakers or amplifier.

Additionally, consider the type of connectors or cabling required for the speakers, such as RCA, speaker wire, or proprietary connections. This will help you avoid any compatibility issues and ensure seamless integration of the new marine speakers with your existing audio setup.

8. Audio Output Power & Volume

To get the most out of your marine speakers, it’s important to understand their power handling and sensitivity ratings, which will give you an idea of their loudness potential. 

Higher power handling and sensitivity mean the speaker can produce louder sounds without distortion. Volume is measured in decibels (dB), while power is measured in wattage.

To produce more volume, a speaker needs to be able to support and draw more power. Power drawn by speakers is measured as peak wattage and RMS (continuous wattage). Manufacturers often list peak wattage, as these numbers appear higher. 

However, RMS wattage is equally important. For example, if your amplifier provides 100 Watts RMS per channel and your speakers can only handle 85 Watts RMS, you might risk damaging or blowing out your new speakers. Always consider both the RMS and peak wattage of the speakers.

In some cases, amplification may be necessary to boost the volume. Speakers rated for 100 or 200 watts might not achieve their maximum output when connected directly to a typical stereo system. In this case, a marine-grade amplifier will be key in augmenting the audio signal to produce more volume.

Just remember that you’re not alone on the water, and having super loud music can quickly upset your fellow boaters. Always be mindful of your surroundings and enjoy your marine audio experience responsibly.

9. Audio Quality

When selecting the top marine speakers, you’ll want to ensure the best audio quality possible. Keep in mind that personal preferences and the genres of music you enjoy will influence your definition of audio quality. 

Some rhythms may require more bass, making subwoofers a better choice, while other genres might benefit from higher tones and a speaker with a wider frequency range. Always remember that you’re constrained by the available space on your boat.

To ensure the best listening experience, look for speakers with a wide frequency range, balanced sound, and minimal distortion. 

This will allow you to enjoy your favorite music genres with crisp, clear audio, providing an enjoyable and immersive experience while out on the water.

10. Design and Aesthetics

While the technical aspects of marine speakers are crucial, it’s also important to consider their design and aesthetics. After all, you’ll want your speakers to blend seamlessly with your boat’s overall appearance and style.

When choosing the best marine speakers, consider the color, shape, and overall design of the speaker grilles. Look for options that complement your boat’s interior or exterior and enhance its visual appeal. Some speakers even offer customizable or interchangeable grilles, allowing you to easily switch up the look to match your boat’s aesthetic or personal preferences.

By selecting speakers that not only perform well but also look great, you’ll create a cohesive and visually pleasing boating environment, making your time on the water even more enjoyable.

11. Ease of Installation

Another important factor to consider when selecting the best marine speakers is the ease of installation. You’ll want to find speakers that can be installed quickly and efficiently, without causing unnecessary headaches or requiring professional assistance.

When evaluating speakers, look for user-friendly features, such as pre-drilled mounting holes, clear instructions, and any included mounting hardware or templates. This will help streamline the installation process and ensure that your speakers are properly and securely mounted.

By selecting marine speakers that are easy to install, you’ll save time and effort, allowing you to enjoy your upgraded audio system sooner rather than later.

12. Brand Reputation and Warranty

When choosing your marine speakers, it’s essential to consider the reputation of the brand and the warranty provided. A well-established and reputable brand is more likely to deliver high-quality, reliable products that meet or exceed your expectations.

Research different brands and read customer reviews to get a better understanding of their reputation within the marine audio industry.

7 Best Waterproof Bluetooth Speakers for Boats in 2024: Detailed Reviews

Last updated on December 27th, 2023

Ahoy sailors! Today we’re sailing the high seas in search of the best Bluetooth speaker for boats.

Nothing beats a boating adventure, and what completes your sailing sessions is more than some relaxing music. Perhaps you’re looking for a new waterproof speaker to get the boat party going!

Either way, this list is a roundup of our favorite Bluetooth speakers for boats. For the best Bluetooth speaker in general, check our other post!

We’ve taken extra consideration over boat-related specs, like waterproofing, durability, battery life, and connectivity.

A Key spec for portable boat speakers is the IP rating, this determines how waterproof a device is (see the end of this article for a full explanation). 

The higher the number, the more water resistance a device has. In an ideal world, a speaker for boating should have an IP rating with the second number as either 7 or 8. This means the waterproof speaker can survive being fully submerged, which could easily happen if the speaker falls into the water.

I tested 7 waterproof speakers and found the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 to be the best waterproof Bluetooth speaker for taking on a boat.

This portable speaker really has everything you can ask for in a boating speaker. 

Fully waterproof, has a long Bluetooth connection range, and superior sound quality. The battery life on this Bluetooth speaker lets you party all day long. 

The built-in mic control is a nice touch that lets you use Siri or OK Google without having to touch your phone. This is great if your hands are wet or fishy!

I love Bluetooth portable speakers. In fact, I usually have one packed in my rucksack wherever I go. Whether you’re going to the park, a beach, or the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, a powerful, durable portable Bluetooth speaker is essential! I’ve gone through many in my time, sometimes buying models that don’t live up to their description. 

These speakers have been tested for their durability and waterproofing abilities so you don’t have to!

The Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 speaker has excellent waterproofing. This makes it ideal for boating, you can splash around close to this speaker with no worry of damage. Heck, you can even chuck it overboard and it will be fine, floating to the surface of the water unscathed. 

Not all these waterproof speakers will be ideal for your needs. Some may be too big or small. Speaker size is an important factor. There is generally a trade-off between size and quality, with smaller wireless speakers often suffering from a diminished volume, connection range, or sound quality. 

Although these are obviously more portable, taking up less weight and room in the cargo hold.

I think the best tactic is to choose the biggest speaker you can manage. Get the best sound you can, but don’t take up too much room! If the Megaboom 3 is too big, check out Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 !

Keep reading for our full roundup of the best portable Bluetooth speakers for boats!

What to Look for in a waterproof Bluetooth speaker?

What to look for when buying this type of product

Battery Life: It’s always a good idea to choose a compact speaker with long-lasting battery life. A bigger rechargeable battery means you’ll be able to listen to music for longer before needing a charge. Although the longer lifetimes often come at the cost of a larger battery and heavier speaker. 

Buying an additional portable power bank is a great way to extend the life of your portable Bluetooth speaker. This Miady power bank is a great affordable option.

Frequency Response: This describes the range of sound a speaker can produce, from bass to highs. The human hearing range is between 20hz-20kHz. Cheap speakers tend to have ranges around 300hz-10khz. Quality speakers should go at least as low as 40hz, and as high as 15kHz for the most realistic experience. The lower the low number, the more bass, and subs the speaker can produce.

The IP Rating:

This determines how much resistance the device provides to water or solid interference. Higher numbers result in higher resistance. See below for a full explanation of IP ratings.

Connections: The Bluetooth systems of all of these speakers should be compatible with just about any device, including most Bluetooth-compatible modern smartphones.

 Although it’s always worth checking that the speaker’s connection system is compatible with whatever device will be used for playback. Some Bluetooth waterproof speakers can connect to multiple speakers to create a surround or stereo mode.

What Do IP Ratings Mean for Bluetooth speakers?

Overall I found the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers for boats to be the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3

These nifty wireless Bluetooth speakers have all the features and specs you need for a boat speaker.

With incredible sound quality, 20 hours battery life, and an IP67 resistance rating, this portable wireless Bluetooth speaker is the ideal choice for boats, beaches, and outdoor adventures.

Things to Consider For Best Loudest Marine Speakers

Listening to your playlist is the easy part. But we never say the same about selecting the right speaker only when a speaker has specific standards approved by international maritime regulations. With the recent advances in technology, there are more options available in the marketplace.

If you want a better quality sound to entertain or chill on your boat, we have the information you need. So take a look through our guides and pick up the product that satisfies your need according to sound, durability, and versatility.

Impedance Rating:    

Considering the environment you use marine speakers in, we will explain the impedance rating that which one is best if you want clear sound from your marine speakers. The impedance of the speaker will change depending on the frequency of the signal. Impedance rating is given as a resistance that any marine speaker gives to the current or voltage.                                                                                                

What you are trying to do is if you have an amplifier that gives more power. If your RMS wattage adds up to more watts and creates a louder, better sound quality depending on how loud you want your marine audio system.

If you are buying marine speakers for your boat, then you must know their usage. So you can get the best marine speakers fit for the purpose. You will want speakers with a much higher wattage and volume if you are going to be waterskiing.

Portability:

The first and foremost thing to remember is the portability of the marine speakers that you are buying. Transportable speakers are required when you join outdoor activities , and a convenient set is not enough for it.

You are likely to be content with easily-carried devices even if you do not scheme on outside activities like this, for the reason that you may have to bring it when you move out.

Directionality:

The location of your marine speakers is vital due to directionality. Sound is enhanced when it bounces off the walls and other surfaces. So speaker placement is also more important. Try to pick the spots that are going to give the sound the most coverage.

Budget Value:

The very first thing you should consider while picking out marine speakers is your budget. And if you have a minimum amount of money to spend, you can obtain premium quality speakers that will allow you to enjoy and play. 

This will narrow down the number of speakers you can consider, as the speakers vary wildly in price. And if you don’t mind spending several hundred dollars to achieve such, you can obtain high-quality speakers with a proper high-end speaker system.

Durability Tested:

Specific protections to fight harsh weather conditions a good pair of marine speakers will typically include. Heavy-duty parts that can withstand months and even years out on the water can also be used by the best marine speakers. 

For instance, a tower speaker can usually handle a lot of wear and tear before you begin to see the signs of age. So you see, in-car speakers , a durable set of boat speakers, instead of the paper cones, will typically use plastic cones.     

Power Handling:

If you want your marine speakers to become able to handle an equal amount of power more than stereo or amplifier, you should stop blowing them out. A typical stereo head unit will have 200 watts of peak power that can be confusing for manufacturers to measure in different ways.

A 50-watt speaker will work fine. The head unit will probably have four channels. So that 200 watts need to be divided by four since the most power the stereo can produce on any one of them is 50 watts. 

Consider Your Volume:

However, if you are in a marina, you must keep in mind your neighbors. And when we talk about improving the volume of your marine speakers while maintaining the quality, it is also necessary to consider marine stereo speakers .

As a result, an excellent sound is produced, at low levels as well as high. And good quality speaker, allowing you to enjoy your music no matter where you are.

Polk Audio DB522DB+ Coaxial Bass Marine Speakers deliver clear and crisp sounds, and they can hold their own against the most expensive and non-affordable products. Template and replacing older speakers with these done in few minutes. It can also produce a clear voice even at a higher volume while the bass is good. Kenwood KFC-1653MRW High End Marine Speakers are water and weatherproof as they contain durable butyl rubber surrounds. So, these will survive in the more extreme environment that your boat is to be in it. It will not only add to your bass response but also extend the life of your sound system. Boss Audio Systems MR50B Marine Speakers are good-looking speakers that delivered plenty of sound to your aqua sport. It has a marine replacement, and moisture won’t bother in giving a sound at high volume. These dual marine speakers are easy to install on the boat and have appreciable performance. Also, have fast shipping and a great price. Top Recommended Product

Yes, marine speakers are waterproof, designed for free air mounting applications, and perfect for boat audio. So, kick your boating excursion up a notch with the Kicker 6.5 Inch 4 Ohm 195 Watt LED-Lit Coaxial Speakers.

No, a free-air or infinite baffle subwoofer does not need a box and saves your valuable space, but you should install it in an airtight compartment or enclosure.

In the bowrider area and two or four in the cockpit marine, boats often have stock cutouts for four to six marine coaxial speakers. Getting the speakers higher also helps with perceived sound quality. So make sure all speakers are high enough to keep from being kicked.

Optimum bass on a boat, achieved when multiple subwoofers are often a necessity. The speaker having only one subwoofer is skipping the majority of its low-frequency potential up in the bow. The purpose of this is to provide consistent bass output in all zones of the vessel not, to be loud.

It pushes them very well, with no overheating issues, no corrosion issues from salt air, and no internal shorts or manufacturing issues. Pyle puts out decent, not decent products for the price. The real problem is, boat audio is a catch.

Restaurant-Yacht Chaika

Ratings and reviews, location and contact.

Pleasantly surprised, service is good so is the food. Great selection of Fusion food, a mixture of Italian, Japanese, European, Asian etc. A pleasantly nice dining experience, highly recommended, a must try!

Thank you for your feedback and invite you to have lunch or dinner again aboard the ship in an atmosphere of high standards of yacht hospitality.

everything was perfect - the food, the service, the desserts were the best, nice atmosphere and the location - magical

Best food, best view in Moscow. absolutely faultless from arrival to finish. Best risotto i had for many years absolutely perfectly cooked. The view on Ukrainian hotel and the white house by night is amazing

Had to wait for the food for 1.5 hours and then another 20 minutes for the check. Finally called for the manager and he offered... a 10% discount as a compensation. Simply pathetic! The food is mediocre at best. Not bad per se, but one... would expect something better considering the prices. There are many places to eat in area that are much better. Avoid this one at all costs. More

Hello, Alexander Your comment is extremely important for us, thank you a lot for it. We are terribly sorry for your time that you`ve spent waiting your order and we have already taken actions to improve quality of our service and it would be realy... More

Food is very expensive,very pretentious, doesn't worth that money. Portions are very small. We ordered ravioli and there were 4! Four raviolis! For almost 15 euros. Then we asked to bring us dessert menu but nothing, they didn't even bothered, so we payed and left... without dessert. Very poor service for that price. More

This is a very good restaurant. The food is really good, maybe the best in Moscow. The service is also good. The view from the restaurant is great. The prices are very high.

I often visit this restaurant and must say it’s one of the best in Moscow in terms of quality and service. Staff really try hard to make sure that you are happy and satisfied. Customer service is a huge problem in Moscow but Chaika sets... a great example for others in the industry! Food is delicious and the menu has lots of options for everyone! Atmosphere is great and view is beautiful on the embankment. Special thanks to German & Oleg! More

Thank you for your feedback! Again aboard the yacht restaurant "Chaika" in accordance with the high standards of yacht hospitality.

Highly recommended, great location in the city center of Moscow with a superb atmosphere. Too many menu choices, though all delicious!

Thx a lot for your review! We are looking forward to see you in our restaurants.

Visited this lovely restaurant with a friend of mine. It was relaxingly warm August evening - so the place on the river seemed like a good idea. We came quite early and the restaurant was not full. The hostesses kindly offered several places to sit... and we chose to sit on the sofas. We had some wine, which was good. We struggled a bit when deciding about the food as few options (scallops) were not available. Fish on ice on display did not look very fresh. To be honest it was an unusually hot August and it is probably understandable that some see food options were not available. However, we did manage to order something and sat waiting and looking onto the river. My long-legged friend struggled sitting at the low sofa and the manager noticed that, offering as a very good, proper table beside the open window. It was nice touch and I was very pleased by their polite observations and immediate reaction to solve the problem. Food was quite good and presentation was perfect. Perhaps I can something about the food, but 1 visit is not enough to criticize or make a definitive opinion. Overall, quality place, which of course, does not come cheap. I would recommend this restaurant without hesitation. More

Good afternoon! Thank you for your detailed feedback! We are looking forward to seeing you again, we are sure that you will be delighted with our dishes!

I've been here several times during two business trip in Moscow. The overall quality for both service and food is absolutely top-notch, plus the location is very unique.

Hello! Thank you for your feedback! We are looking forward to visiting again!

Located on a boat at Krasnopresenskaya River Bank this 5 Star Restaurant transforms into a party location due to multiple groups hosting events. Impressive wine selection, Asian and European kitchen...

Thx a lot! We are waiting for you!

It is a nice place to gather specially at the lounge The service and staff very good I like the river view The food is almost like all restaurants in Russia they serve different cuisine. Staring Russian appetizer till Asian dishes Presentation and taste amazing... I consider it overpriced little bit More

Good location. Nice views. Good choice of food and drinks. European and Asian menu. Nice service. Pricey enough.

Had a large group dinner here. Food was above average and service quite good. The real attraction is the view of Moscow from the river on a nice night. Great place for a larger group dinner. More

Hello, John We are really pleased by reading that you and your friends were satisfied by our service, client`s experience is the highest value for us. We will be happy to see you again, come and enjoy some new dishes from our chef and nice... More

The luxurious atmosphere of this place, the view and the location make it quite outstanding. We had dinner here with friends and the dishes were amazing, accompanied by a chilled bottle of Chablis, it really made me feel as if it was a part of... the classic Russian movie. More
