Most people think of a travel mug as a warm-weather accessory. Something for the commute. Something to hold between point A and point B. Winter on the dock will disabuse you of that notion very quickly. In January, a good insulated mug isn't a convenience — it's the thing that makes the morning survivable, productive, and worth repeating the next day.
Here's everything worth knowing about the Dockhead drinkware lineup.
The Mugs
Kiss My Aft Travel Mug with Handle
The Kiss My Aft Travel Mug is the flagship. Double-walled insulation keeps hot drinks hot for hours and cold drinks cold all day. The handle — which sounds like a minor detail until you're holding a hot mug with cold hands at 7am on a January dock — makes an enormous practical difference. Available in the signature Dockhead graphic at $29.95.
This is the mug that starts conversations. People see it, read it, look up, and either immediately understand the brand or ask a question that gives you the best possible answer to give. Either outcome is a win.
Drunk On Waves Travel Mug with Handle
The Drunk On Waves Travel Mug is the companion piece — same insulated construction, same handled design, different phrase energy. Where Kiss My Aft is a position, Drunk On Waves is a condition. Both are accurate at different points in any day spent on the water.
At $29.95, both mugs sit at a price point that makes them excellent gifts, excellent personal purchases, and excellent additions to any boat's galley situation.
Why Insulation Matters More in Winter
In summer, a drink stays reasonably warm or cold for a while on its own. On a January dock in Michigan or Maine, an uninsulated mug loses heat in under ten minutes. The double-wall construction in Dockhead's travel mugs keeps coffee at drinking temperature for hours — which means you're not rushing through the morning to finish your drink before it gets cold. You're actually sitting with it. Enjoying the dock. Being present.
That's not a small thing.
Made to Order, Built to Last
Like everything at Dockhead, both travel mugs are made to order through our production partner, Printful. That means no warehouse of mugs waiting to be sold — yours is produced when you order it, with consistent quality built into every unit. No seconds, no clearance stock, no compromised production to hit a price point.
It's a better product and a more responsible way to make it. The water we celebrate deserves brands that take that seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions
What travel mugs does Dockhead sell?
Dockhead sells two insulated travel mugs with handles: the Kiss My Aft Travel Mug and the Drunk On Waves Travel Mug. Both are double-walled, insulated, and priced at $29.95. Available at TotalDockhead.com.
How long do Dockhead travel mugs keep drinks hot?
Dockhead's double-walled insulated travel mugs keep hot drinks at temperature for several hours — making them ideal for extended cold-weather dock sessions, boat trips, and commutes.
Are Dockhead travel mugs good gifts?
Yes. At $29.95, both the Kiss My Aft and Drunk On Waves Travel Mugs are well-priced, highly functional, and branded with phrases that make them genuinely memorable gifts for boaters, dock people, and water lovers.
Why does the handle on a travel mug matter for boating?
Cold hands make gripping a smooth mug difficult and potentially hazardous on a moving boat. A handle provides secure grip even with gloves or cold fingers — which is why Dockhead's travel mugs are specifically designed with handles.
Is Dockhead drinkware made sustainably?
Dockhead's drinkware is made to order through Printful — no pre-manufactured stock, no warehouse waste. Made-to-order production is inherently more sustainable than mass production because nothing is made until it's actually purchased.
Where can I buy Dockhead travel mugs?
Both travel mugs are available at TotalDockhead.com under the Accessories collection. All orders are made to order and ship directly to you after a 2–7 business day production window.
What is the best gift for someone who spends time on the water in winter?
An insulated travel mug paired with a warm beanie or hoodie is the ideal winter dock gift. The Dockhead Kiss My Aft Travel Mug ($29.95) and Iconic Cuffed Beanie ($21.95) together make a complete cold-weather dock kit under $55.
