Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

Holds so much! So sturdy. Puts some of my other bags to shame!

I have a few different sizes and use them for many different things. These are sturdy, stand by themselves and extremely useful.

I purchased the small Boat and Tote with "mama" embroidered on the front in the small cursive font. As a recent new mom, I needed a lightweight bag that I could easily carry to and from the office with my pump parts. It's a great size for what I needed, and will be used for many years to come beyond its originally intended purpose. This bag can easily elevate a day to day look and be used for groceries, trips to the beach/park, and while traveling. 10/10 would recommend.

I love my boat and tote bag; it's exactly what I was looking for to bring to work. I can fit my lunchbox, a change of shoes, and other things easily inside but it's incredibly durable so I don't need to worry about it getting wrecked. And with the embroidered name on the outside, it's the perfect work bag.

We're going to use this Large Size Tote for transporting items from car to our Pontoon Boat. We haven't used it yet due to our Winter weather here in the NY Finger Lakes. Boat Docks don't go in until approximately Middle of April, but the craftsman ship and materials used seem to be OUTSTANDING!!! Also the Size is Wonderful, Not to Big when Full and Not to Small that it is insufficient for our purposes

Made of very strong material. Good for "short" travelling.

They were a late Christmas gift. When my wife saw the first bag she was so excited. She said, you know me! The second bag came, and she was equally surprised. When the third comes i know she will love them all. She loves the colored handles and uses them with pride. Thank you L.L.Bean

I gave these to all the girls in my family for Christmas and they were a hit!

Each one of my 5 family members were extatic about their boat bag xmas gift. They love them! Thank you LLBEAN!!!

It came exactly how it was pictured. Excited to use it this summer.

I will probably have this bag for the next 50 years lol. Anything I buy from L.L. Bean last forever. Such a nice tote bag and very durable.

Beautiful craftsmanship and quality heavy duty material!

This is my favorite tote and I use it literally everyday. I love that it is structured and good quality.

My daughter loves the bag I got her for Christmas she's a teacher and the medium size is perfect

I am a professional trail builder. We use these bags as a sort of collapsible "bucket" to haul loads of dirt and rocks. I have yet to find another tote bag that will carry loads of bowling ball sized rocks for months on end. They're more durable by far than the crappy buckets you get at the home center, and when empty, you can collapse them down to stuff into a backpack Accept no substitutes.

I love this bag, I got it for a friend of mines and she is in love, it's very sturdy and seems like it'll last long.

Excellent. I'm so impressed this is the same quality as the boat tote I used for 30 years!

I love this bag! This was the 3rd one I have purchased. This was a gift for my mom and she absolutely loves it. It is the best quality and carries so much! Long handles are a must!

Bean totes are so well made. This is a gift for my daughter who is tall and requested the longer handles.

The perfect gift for a five month old so her parents can "tote" her toys to Grandma's house! The quality was top of the line and the placement of her name, along with the accent color, was perfect!

Made wonderful Christmas gifts! Doesn't everyone want a new monogramed Bean tote?

Amazing product. Use them for groceries and much more. Can't go anywhere without my Bean bags.

Delighted by the canvas quality. This bag is super sturdy.

Best rugged canvas tote that we have owned. Had one for years, and it's good as new. Now we bought more for gifts and everyone loves the construction, appearance, and strength!

Ordered large with long handles. For reference I'm 5'4 and a size 14. This works perfectly for me. It's for everyday use and school. Practical tote to grab and go without worrying about what fits. My laptop, books, notebooks, water bottle, toiletry bag, a jacket, lab coat, and other items fit very well with plenty space for more. It's so spacious it doesn't even feel heavy, very practical. The handles don't slide off like the medium one. I'm so happy with this purchase. If your a mom or teacher or a busy person the large it the one you should get. The medium didn't work for me at all. I don't suggest you buy the medium if you need something practical and to grab for the go. On the medium I could only fit my toiletry bag, wallet and water bottle and it was very heavy and unpractical and uncomfortable, not even my laptop fit. The handles kept slipping because they were too wide compared to the size of the tote, like the ratios don't sit right. It was quiet uncomfortable but it might be given Im more on the plus size. I had to donate the medium. I'll buy another large in when I'm ready for another color.
