A boater is a kind of hat associated with sailing and boating.

It is normally made of straw and has a flat crown and brim, typically with a ribbon around the crown, which is often in colors representing a school, rowing crew or similar institution. Boaters were popular as summer headgear in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and were supposedly worn by FBI agents as a sort of unofficial uniform in the pre-war years. Nowadays they are rarely seen except at sailing or rowing events, period theatrical musical performances or as part of old-fashioned school uniform.
