Dinghy Boots & Footwear

Dinghy boots and footwear are designed to get wet — and keep you warm. Made primarily from neoprene, they provide insulation in cold water while offering the grip and protection dinghy sailors need.

Dinghy footwear is different from typical yacht deck shoes. While deck shoes focus on style and comfort, dinghy shoes are made for capsize recovery. They are designed for wet launches and active sailing.

Non‑marking soles give secure traction on slippery surfaces, while reinforced panels protect against knocks from fittings and foils. Whether you’re racing in winter conditions or training at your local sailing club, our range of dinghy boots from Gill, Rooster, and Crewsaver deliver warmth, grip, and durability for every level of sailor.

• Hiking Boots – For dinghy sailors who frequently use toe-straps whilst hiking out. Hiking boots feature a reinforced upper for enhanced grip and protection. They also come with a thicker sole to provide superior support, making them perfect for intense sailing sessions.
• Skiff Boots – Ideal for those who trapeze on their dinghy, skiff boots are lightweight and flexible. They allow your foot to mould and grip the gunwale, giving you better control and comfort during your sail.
• All Round Boots – Great if you switch between different sailing styles, or want a general all purpose neoprene boot for any water sport.
