Introduced as Bean's Ice Carrier way back in 1944, the Boat and Tote was billed as a bag made of builders' canvas for hauling ice "from car to ice chest." Today you can spot our iconic tote doing heavy lifting everywhere - from the grocery store to the beach, to the library and commuter train. Tested to hold up to 500 pounds, it'll carry more than you can carry. We promise.

  • Spot clean.
  • Overlapped seams are double-stitched with nylon so they won't rot or break.
  • Handles tested to hold up to 500 pounds.
  • Reinforced flat canvas bottom.
  • Heavy-duty 24 oz. cotton canvas.
  • Double-layer base.
  • Natural color, with contrast-tone handles in your choice of lengths.
  • Add a monogram for a personal touch (or the perfect gift).
  • Handcrafted in Maine since 1944, one tote at a time.

Behind the Design: Boat and Tote

Known for its legendary longevity, our iconic tote has been setting the standard for over 80 years. Watch below to learn more about its legacy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Looking forward to 20 years of hauling Excellent construction. My parents have some of these from 20 years ago, and I fully expect to have mine for 20 years. Stands up on its own. Hauls EVERYTHING. The Large ended up being bigger than I wanted, and not able to replace an everyday tote my fiance has been using. But it has already become our new favorite laundry hauler. Will just have to get another smaller one!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect everyday tote! Love my Boat and Tote in Large, with long handles! I carry all of the bulky items in it instead of lugging around a big purse. My crossbody is easily accessible in this tote. I chose Red and can’t wait for my Extra Large Boat and Tote to arrive too. This size I am confident I’ll enjoy as I use to travel with. Thank you, L.L. Bean ♥️
