Paca Cooler Named a Boating Industry Top Product of 2026
We are excited to announce that the Paca Cooler has been recognized as one of Boating Industry magazine's Top Products of 2026.
This recognition highlights innovative products that are making a meaningful impact on the boating industry, and we are honored that the Paca Cooler was selected among this year's top boating products.
A New Way to Keep Drinks Within Reach
Unlike traditional coolers, the Paca Cooler introduces an entirely new (patent pending) way to keep drinks accessible while you are in the water.
Designed to attach and hang directly onto the outside of a boat, the Paca Cooler keeps beverages within easy reach for uninterrupted lake hangouts with family and friends. It features a top-loading design for adding drinks and Glacier Sticks (reusable ice sticks), while the lower dispensing opening allows everyone in the water to grab a cold beverage without climbing back into the boat.
Its adjustable mounting strap allows it to fit a wide variety of boats, making it an ideal accessory for:
- Pontoon boats
- Deck boats
- Ski and wake boats
- Runabouts
- Center console boats
Whether you're spending the afternoon at a sandbar, floating near the boat, relaxing at the lake, or entertaining friends, the Paca Cooler helps keep drinks accessible where people actually want them.
Made in USA
The Paca Cooler is proudly manufactured in Wisconsin using high-quality marine-grade materials designed to withstand life on the water.
From the beginning, inventor Michael Cordio's goal was to: create a fun and innovative cooler for boaters that solves a real problem while being durable enough for years of use.
Being recognized by Boating Industry reinforces that mission.
