Basking Bag: Like The Aunt Who’s Always Tidying

Basking Bag

Mar 25, 2025

Many boat owners use a plastic grocery bag for trash, and heap dirty laundry and wet towels in a corner. Savvy boaters who prefer a clean deck and versatile storage solutions opt for the Innovation Award-winning Basking Bag from SeaSucker. Mounted temporarily when and where it’s needed, the convenient accessory removes instantly for relocation, stowage, or toting to a trash bin for emptying.

Made in the USA, the Basking Bag installs using 4.5″ SeaSucker Vacuum Mount. Because it adheres to any non-porous surface, it’s ideal for mounting on the hull when partying on a sandbar. It’ll support up to 120 pounds of bottles, cans, soaked beach towels or whatever else needs securing — even with jostling from waves and wakes.

Available in blue/white or black/black, the SeaSucker Basking Bag is a 27.5″ x 18.5″ x 6″ fabric bag with a unique closure system that seals in its contents but opens with a simple tug of the large pull ring. The Standard model is constructed with a sturdy marine-grade mesh fabric, stainless steel hardware and UV-stabilized polymers. The Premium version is similar but uses a more tightly woven material. They cost $165 USD and $179 USD respectively. www.seasucker.com
