Playboy’s Women of the High Seas

Enjoy 33 photos of women on ships to kick off National Fishing and Boating week.

Classics • June 7, 2026

The first full week of June marks National Fishing and Boating Week, a time to celebrate everything nautical. Here at Playboy, we have a great appreciation for the wet and wild outdoors, one that’s well documented in our magazine’s archives. From fishing boats to sailing the high seas, our beauties have traversed the oceans blue. Enjoy a retrospective of Playboy shoots on and around boats in celebration.
