    • Tortilla Chips: These crunchy, salty chips are a classic choice for dipping into boat dip. Choose from traditional corn chips or mix it up with flavored varieties like lime or chili.
    • Potato Chip: Instead of traditional tortilla chips, try using ridged potato chips as scoops for your boat dip. 
    • Pita Chips: Crispy pita chips are perfect for scooping up boat dip, and their sturdy texture holds up well to thick dips.
    • Crackers: From buttery crackers to whole wheat varieties, crackers are a versatile dipper that pairs well with boat dip’s creamy goodness.
    • Vegetable Sticks: For a lighter option, dip crisp, fresh veggies like carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers into boat dip. Not only are they delicious, but they add a pop of color to your snack spread.
    • Breadsticks: Whether you opt for traditional breadsticks or twist things up with flavored versions like garlic or cheese, these crunchy snacks are perfect for dipping.
    • Pretzel Sticks: If you’re feeling adventurous, try dipping pretzels, pretzel chips, or even pretzel rods into boat dip for a salty-sweet flavor combination.
    • Fruit Slices: For a surprising twist, dip slices of apple or pear into boat dip. The sweetness of the fruit complements the savory flavors of the dip beautifully.
    • Baguette Slices: Slice up a fresh baguette and toast it lightly for a crunchy dipper that’s perfect for scooping up boat dip.
