About BoatMates: Smarter Storage for Life on the Water

BoatMates is a dedicated marine storage and accessories brand operating under the Tempress Products umbrella, a Dallas, Texas-based company that has been outfitting boaters since 1972. While Tempress is widely known for its premium marine seating and Fish-On! rod holders, the BoatMates line was developed with a focused mission: keeping boat cockpits and cabins organized, tidy, and ready for action.

BoatMates specializes in optimizing a boat's cockpit and cabin space, offering suction-mount organizers, drink holders, and tool caddies designed to keep essential gear secure and within reach while underway. Whether you're a weekend cruiser or a dedicated tournament angler, clutter on deck is more than an annoyance — it's a safety issue. BoatMates products address that problem with purpose-built accessories that mount cleanly and stay put even in choppy conditions.

A Legacy of Marine Innovation

When you buy a Tempress product, you're buying over 50 years of consistently superior craftsmanship and technical innovation — a standard that makes TEMPRESS, BoatMates, and Fish-On! the choice of boat builders, retailers, and anglers throughout the world. Tempress Products is a recognized leader in the development, manufacturing, and distribution of high-quality marine, aftermarket, and OEM products.

The BoatMates lineup is engineered for real-world boating demands. Products are built to withstand the rigors of a marine environment — UV exposure, spray, vibration, and heavy daily use — so boaters can spend less time worrying about their gear and more time enjoying the water.

BoatMates Swivel Mounts

One of the most popular BoatMates product types is their line of swivel mounts. The BoatMates Swivel Drink Holder is a standout accessory featuring a unique gyroscope motion design that keeps your drink contained no matter what weather or water conditions you encounter. These versatile swivel mounts are compatible with standard rod holders as well as direct-mount installations, making them easy to integrate into virtually any boat's existing setup without modification.

From a simple day on the lake to a full offshore run, having a reliable, swiveling holder for beverages and small accessories can make a real difference in both convenience and safety. BoatMates swivel mount designs reflect the same attention to detail and functional thinking that has defined the broader Tempress product family for more than five decades.
