In the cup holders product group you will find drink holders that can be mounted on the deck or railing of a boat: a recessed cup holder made of stainless steel, a Roster can holder with railing brackets made of stainless steel, a can holder for mounting on a wire, a Nuova Rade can holder for attaching to a pipe, a recessed 85mm can holder and a folding can holder made of white plastic.
The cup holder holds your drink securely in place when the boat rocks in the waves, making it a practical addition to both the cockpit and the deck – the recessed model is mounted directly to the surface of the furniture or deck by drilling a hole, which is the most sturdy and permanent solution, while the model that attaches to a railing or cable does not require any drilling and is therefore easy to add to an existing boat without permanent modifications. The foldable model saves space when the holder is not in use, which is useful on smaller boats where every centimeter of deck space is needed. The Nuova Rade tube-mounted model is especially suitable for railings or other round tubular structures where a recessed model cannot be installed. Choose the mounting method depending on the type of mounting point available on your boat and whether you want a permanent or removable solution.
A recessed cup holder requires drilling into the lid or furniture, so it's worth planning its placement carefully in advance - a poorly chosen location could get in the way of other uses or be more exposed to spills. A foldable model is a good temporary solution if you're not sure about a permanent location, as you can try it in different locations before making a final decision.
The Roster can rack comes with a pre-assembled railing bracket, making installation quick and easy without the need for separate brackets – a practical solution if you want to add the rack to an existing railing without drilling. The wire-mounted model is especially suitable for sailboats that do not have a railing like powerboats.
You should also choose a cup holder based on the size of drinking vessels you usually use on the boat – some holders are only suitable for vessels of a certain size.
Purchasing multiple cup holders at once is practical if the boat is often used with a group of people – one holder for each passenger reduces the risk of dishes tipping over in the waves. Nuova Rade is an Italian boat accessories manufacturer known for its practical and durable small solutions.
The durability of the rack depends largely on the mounting method – a securely screwed rack can withstand more load than a simple adhesive mount.
