Customer Reviews L.L.Bean Boat and Tote Large

Love this tote so much! I've been using it as my purse since I got it a few weeks ago. It holds enough without being too big. I went with the medium size and long straps. It's got a classic look and holds its shape so well. 10/10!

The item arrived exactly as ordered It was sturdy and lived up to all the expectations!

My 103-year-old wheelchair-bound Mother needed a small bag to hold her knitting in her assisted living community. The small bag she had used had folding wooden legs that didn't survive getting run-over by wheelchair wheels. In searching for a solution, my wife recalled how much Mom liked LLBean bags 40-50 years ago for toting clothes to the cabin and firewood in from the woodshed. "Get her a small one," the wife said, "It'll handle getting run over now and then." In 3 days, we took the new bag over. Mom was so happygiddy eventhat she almost popped out of her chair! She immediately recognized it, grabbed it, and hugged it with her eyes closed. THANKS for keeping the quality so high all these years. PS, it's been run over once already. Thin black wheel scuff gives it character!

I purchased the small boat and tote for myself, and I am absolutely in love with it! The quality is outstanding the fabric is thick and is incredibly durable, making it perfect for everyday use. Despite being a "small" tote, it's surprisingly spacious and fits all my essentials with room to spare. The embroidery adds a beautiful, personal touch that makes the bag even more special. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Highly recommend!

this was exactly what I was looking for in an everyday bag-- color: natural - size: small - long handles and no zipper top. It's perfect for work and errands- I put the Boat and Tote zippered pouch inside to contain my wallet and other smaller items- fits well with room for a Poland Spring water bottle on side- love that the bag "stands up"

Of course this is a fabulous boat tote! I have one from 1986 that's still in use.

A classic LLbean product- the quality is unsurpassed. I bought this for my grandson to take his rest mat and items to school. I love that is has his name clearly embroidered on it so the teachers know whose it is. This will last from preschool through college and beyond.

Love this little bag! I have several larger sizes, but this time I wanted something I could just grab and go -- the small size is perfect for tossing in a water bottle, book, snacks, etc.

Great beach bag, shopping bag, etc. Great quality canvas. I use it all the time.

Great gift for the Newlyweds! Lots of storage and very durable.

I got this bag as a gift to give my daughter because of the long life this bag offers. It is sturdy, attractive and super helpful for heavy loads.

love this bag! it's the perfect size if you're looking for a decent sized carry on, beach bag, or even every day bag if you tote a lot around. heavy duty & easy to keep clean.

Unbelievable quality and craftsmanship. Very happy with my purchase.

Solid bang. Wish the handles were a tad longer tho

Absolutely love my small boat and tote! Perfect bag to use while running errands. Fits my water bottle, a pouch w/ essentials, wallet, phone keys. Love that thick, structured canvas keeps it upright. Unbeatable quality for the price!

As always, great product, they last forever having had 10+ prior

Love this tote. Have one I use for reading tutor supplies and have carried it to classroom weekly for years. This newest one is to carry all the new puppy stuff needed any time we go to appointments or dog sitter. Absolutely fantastic, rugged and stands up to puppy chews. Highly recommend this tote for anything you need to haul around.

Just purchased the slightly smaller tote so we could haul groceries home without needing hernia surgery. They carry a full load and don't flop closed (no frustration)

Love the Boat and Tote bags in every size! They are super sturdy, wear well, and clean easily! Have been buying these for decades!!

LOVE LL Bean. This bag lasts a lifetime. From fishermen to CBK, it's timeless.

Best bachelorette gift EVER!!! I bought the medium tote with long straps and all of my girls loved them! I did the embroidery too which was a hit. 10/10 recommend. The structure in the bag was also great. Our water bottles stayed upright.

The quality of the bag is great. It's a great size for everyday use.

I gave my other bag to my son and his girlfriend. That bag was 10 years old and going strong, looking great! I ordered anew one for me!

Love this durable and well made bag. The perfect size for errands, weekends, etc.

Not sure why this item was back ordered for so long. I waited about 2 months for it to finally ship out. That being said, I really love it!! The quality is amazing and I love the slate color.
