To stay with the boat theme, you may like these personalized labels http://weddingbella.weddingstar.com/8621-12+Boat+Wheel+Favor+%2F+Place+Cards_keyword:boat;

There are these really cute fans but they’re around $2 each.

Old fashioned hard candy sticks in your wedding colors would be nice. According to these websites you can get 80 sticks for only $12: http://www.candywarehouse.com/candysticks.html

Or what about individually-wrapped rock candy shown here at $56 for 120 sticks: http://www.bulkfoods.com/search_results.asp?txtsearchParamTxt=2735&txtsearchParamCat=28&txtsearchParamType=ALL&txtsearchParamMan=ALL&txtsearchParamVen=ALL&txtFromSearch=fromSearch

Most favors end up on a drawer or on a shelf. No one really wants them. Best best, make a donation in lieu of favors to a cause that is important to you both or our families. Then you can donate what you can and for a good cause.

Skip them and put the money towards food or drinks. Guests will appreciate that a lot more than a cheap trinket.

And personalized favors just suck … why would anyone want anything with YOUR name on it? Giving someone a "gift" with your name and wedding date stamped on it really isn’t a gift. You may as well flush your money down the toilet right now, because that stuff ends up in the garbage most of the time.

If you absolutely MUST offer favors, try candy or cookies.

How about giving your guest a message in a bottle.Depending on how many guest you have. I have done this, We are getting married on the beach. I made up 4 different "message in a bottle" poems telling them how special they are to us( 4 couples at the table, 1 poem per couple) and filled with sand and shells. I also decorated the bottles with twine. It didn’t cost much but alot of work. I got all the wine bottle free from a friends restaurant.Very cheap but they look good and they are personalized.

How about paper fans? Since it will be so hot. These are on sale to end up being .59 a piece and you would only have to do one per couple. They come in a variety of colors.
