polycarbonate glasses are ideal for boating

Here's why polycarbonate glasses are a must-have on board this summer!

There’s nothing quite like entertaining on your boat – whether it’s a peaceful afternoon on the water, a lively catch-up with friends, or watching the sun dip below the horizon with a cold drink in hand. But when it comes to glassware, traditional glass just doesn’t cut it for life on the water.


At Virtually Glass, we understand the balance boat owners are looking for - stylish, high-quality drinkware that’s safe, practical, and space-savvy. Our premium polycarbonate glasses tick every box, making them the ideal choice for those who want to elevate their onboard entertaining – without the worry of shattered glass.

Why choose polycarbonate glasses for boating?

When you’re navigating waves or docked on a breezy afternoon, safety and practicality matter.

Our polycarbonate glassware is:

  • Virtually unbreakable – built to withstand knocks, drops, and movement on board
  • Crystal clear and stylish – all the elegance of real glass without the risk
  • Reusable and dishwasher safe – easy to clean, eco-friendly, and built to last
  • Stackable – ideal for small galleys and storage compartments where space is tight

Whether you're enjoying a quiet solo drink or hosting guests on deck, Virtually Glass lets you serve in style – without compromising on safety or sustainability.

Entertaining on board - perfect glassware for every sip

Our collection includes a wide range of polycarbonate drinkware suited to every type of beverage you’ll want to serve on your boat:

  • Wine Glasses – elegant and refined, perfect for a chilled rosé or sauvignon blanc on a sunny afternoon
  • Champagne Flutes – classic, gold, or silver styles for celebratory toasts at sea
  • Cocktail Glasses – martini, margarita, and tall ice glasses for sunset drinks and evening socials
  • Stackable Tumblers – ideal for juices, mocktails, or a refreshing G&T
  • Beer Glasses – durable yet stylish, perfect for a cold one after anchoring down
  • Pitcher Jugs – great for serving up sangria, Pimm’s, or batch cocktails to keep everyone topped up
