I would ask questions such as:
- How long will he be offshore? Full day? Overnight?
- What will the cooler be used for? Food? Drinks? Storing fish?
Depending on how much you want to spend, you can get a smaller, inexpensive cooler or you can get some that are very expensive and made specifically for marine use. Some will keep ice from completely melting for up to 14 days but then you're sacrificing space inside the cooler for the extra insulation.
Take a look at the marine coolers, then the camping coolers, and then make a decision. One marine cooler that I'm impressed with (and one day I will be able to afford) is the DownUnder USA coolers sold by Angler's Center (see the ad somewhere on this page). It even has a watertight seal on the lid.
