Extra Large Double Sided Water Proof Boat Fly Box with Review
Our verdict
At $36.99, this Extra Large Double Sided Boat Fly Box costs roughly three to four times more than the other fly boxes in this comparison, yet its 4.4 star average across 126 reviews doesn't outrank the cheaper Aventik 24L or Aventik eb0105, both also at 4.4 stars. The premium here rests on size and waterproofing rather than a higher rating.

Anglers who specifically need a larger-capacity, double-sided, waterproof box for boat storage and are willing to pay $36.99, well above the $7.99 to $15.99 range of the smaller fly boxes in this comparison.
Skip if
Skip it if you just need a standard vest-sized fly box, since the Aventik 24L and Gonex GXGN2247A cover the same 4.4-to-4.7 star rating range for a quarter of the price or less.

The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
A boat deck is a different storage environment than a fishing vest, with more room but also more exposure to splashing water and sun. The Extra Large Double Sided Water Proof Boat Fly Box is built for that setting, priced at $36.99 in a Black and Orange plastic construction, well above the other fly boxes compared here.
Beyond the plastic material and color, the listing doesn't specify internal slot count, dimensions, or weight, so the extra large and double sided claims aren't backed by a measurable spec in the data available. What is clear is the price gap: at $36.99, it costs nearly four times the $9.99 Aventik 24L and more than double the $15.99 Aventik eb0105.
That price doesn't translate into a rating advantage. A 4.4 star average across 126 reviews ties this box with both Aventik options, and trails the Gonex GXGN2247A's 4.7 stars over 1,900 reviews by a wide margin. Bought last month sits at 0+, the same tier as the Aventik 24L and eb0105, while the Gonex shows 300+. For buyers, the case for this box rests on capacity and boat-specific waterproofing rather than anything the review numbers alone demonstrate.
Pros
- Double sided design likely adds usable storage capacity over single-sided boxes in this comparison
- Waterproof construction suits boat decks and wet environments better than non-sealed boxes
- 4.4 star average matches the Aventik 24L and eb0105 despite the size difference
- Black and Orange color offers higher visibility on a boat deck than more muted box colors
- Plastic construction is durable enough for repeated boat storage and transport
Cons
- At $36.99, it costs nearly four times the $9.99 Aventik 24L
- 126 reviews is the smallest sample among the fly boxes in this comparison
- 0+ bought last month matches the slower-moving Aventik boxes rather than the actively selling Gonex
- No listed weight or dimension specs to confirm the extra large claim against competitors

Performance notes
Plastic construction paired with a waterproof rating is standard for boat-based tackle storage, where boxes sit exposed to spray, rain, and direct sun rather than tucked into a vest pocket. The double sided design suggests two separate compartments or lid sections, which typically increases the number of flies a single box can hold compared to a single-sided layout like the Aventik 24L.
Without listed dimensions or weight, it's hard to quantify exactly how much larger this box is than the alternatives, but the extra large naming and the nearly four times higher price relative to the Aventik 24L both point to a box built for bulk storage rather than portability. The Black and Orange color scheme also stands out visually on a boat deck, which can help when a box needs to be spotted quickly among gear rather than dug out of a bag.
What buyers say
A 4.4 star average across 126 reviews places this box in a tie with both Aventik alternatives on rating, but with the smallest review count of the four fly boxes compared here, well below the Aventik 24L's 320 and far behind the Gonex GXGN2247A's 1,900. Bought last month reads 0+, matching the pattern seen on both Aventik boxes rather than the 300+ shown by the Gonex. Given the significantly higher $36.99 price, the review volume is proportionally thinner than would be expected if this box were a runaway favorite. The pattern suggests a box that serves a specific boat-storage niche rather than broad, high-volume demand.

Frequently asked questions
What makes this fly box different from the smaller Aventik options?
It's built as an extra large, double sided, waterproof box aimed at boat storage, versus the single-piece, lightweight design of the Aventik 24L or the foam eva construction of the Aventik eb0105. That positioning is reflected in its $36.99 price, well above the $9.99 and $15.99 of those alternatives.
Is the higher price justified by the rating?
Not based on rating alone. At 4.4 stars across 126 reviews, it ties the Aventik 24L and eb0105, both priced far lower, and trails the Gonex GXGN2247A's 4.7 stars over 1,900 reviews. The price premium reflects size and waterproofing rather than a higher star rating.
How is current demand for this box compared to alternatives?
Bought last month sits at 0+, the same tier as both Aventik boxes in this comparison. The Gonex GXGN2247A, by contrast, shows 300+ bought last month, suggesting stronger recent purchase activity for that lower-priced option despite the size and waterproofing this box offers instead.
