At First Mate Apparel, we understand that style and functionality aren’t just for adults—they’re for everyone in the family. That’s why we’re redefining headwear for infants, toddlers, and now, adults. Our journey began in May 2024 at the Caribbean Boat Show in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we saw a need for high-quality, waterproof hats designed to keep up with the active, outdoor lifestyles of families who love the beach, boating, and adventure.
Driven by this vision, we created a collection of premium hydro hats for children that are waterproof, lightweight, antimicrobial, and durable. Designed to float and withstand the elements, our hats are as practical as they are stylish, perfect for poolside play, seaside strolls, or days on the water. Every detail is meticulously crafted to ensure long-lasting wear and exceptional comfort for the youngest explorers.
Now, we’re proud to expand our collection and introduce the Adult Matching Line, launching January 2025. This new line brings the same innovative design and quality to parents and adults who want stylish, functional headwear for their outdoor pursuits. Whether you’re kayaking, lounging by the pool, or heading out for a family adventure, our hats are designed to keep up with your lifestyle.
First Mate Apparel is more than just a brand—it’s a commitment to enhancing outdoor experiences with premium products that blend durability, performance, and timeless design. Join us as we set new standards in headwear for all ages. With our expanded collection, families can now enjoy matching styles that reflect their love for adventure and the great outdoors.
