As boating season kicks off, it’s a great time to think about how design can support a safer, more enjoyable experience on the water. While individual boater habits like wearing life jackets and staying alert play a big role, safety also starts with smart product integration. The right features can make a big difference for end-user experience out on the water.
At ITC, we offer a range of marine products that help make boats safer and more user-friendly. From lighting that improves visibility to built-in charging options and easy-to-grab assist handles, here are some of our top picks that help support a safer time on the water.
Lighting That Keeps Everyone Oriented
Good lighting does more than just look great, it helps boaters stay aware of their surroundings, especially in low-light conditions.
The Spreader™ Light is a solid pick for OEMs looking to provide high-output lighting with a clean, low-profile design. Whether it’s early morning or after sunset, this light helps illuminate key working areas and walkways onboard.
To complement overhead lighting, our Ace™ Courtesy Light delivers soft but effective pathway lighting at deck level. It’s sealed for wet environments and works well indoors or out, helping passengers move safely around the vessel, even in dim conditions.
To add a bit of style along with safety, underwater lighting can be a valuable feature. The SHOUL™ Underwater Light doesn’t just create an eye-catching effect, it also increases the boat’s visibility in low light. It’s available in RGBW and dual-color options, features temperature regulation to protect the light, and is housed in durable bronze for long-term reliability.

Charging That Keeps Devices Ready When Needed
Staying powered up isn’t just about convenience, it’s also a part of modern safety. With so many boaters relying on phones or tablets for navigation, weather updates, and emergency communication, reliable onboard charging is more important than ever.
One smart option is our Rise™ Wireless Pocket Charger, which doubles as a built-in storage spot and wireless charging space. Its compact pocket design keeps phones secure while charging, reducing clutter and preventing devices from sliding around when the water gets rough. It’s a great fit for consoles, cabins, or anywhere an all-in-one charging solution is needed.
Looking for something even more streamlined? The MAX™ Magnetic Wireless Charger secures devices with a magnetic hold while wirelessly charging with no cords needed. It’s ideal for tight spots and helps ensure phones stay put, even when conditions get choppy.
For a slightly different footprint, our MAX™ Rectangular Wireless Charger offers a sleek, low-profile design with the option to add a molded tray for extra grip.
No matter which solution you choose, these charging options help keep devices powered and close at hand, giving boaters peace of mind.
Grips That Add Confidence and Comfort
Lastly, one of the simplest ways to improve onboard safety is by giving passengers something solid to grab onto when boarding or moving around the boat.
The Straight IllumaGrip™ Assist Handle lights up to improve visibility while offering a firm, comfortable grip. It’s a popular choice for entryways and where a little extra support can make all the difference.
For a more understated option, our 7-inch Stainless Steel Assist Handle is a clean, dependable option that works in any setting. Its compact size makes it easy to place where it's most needed, without disrupting the overall design.
Whether you’re designing a compact fishing boat or a luxury pontoon, these products can help you build a safer, more intuitive onboard experience for end users.
