Not sure we have a question into his parents.
I remember when he started his dad said he wanted to be a harbor pilot someday.

Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

If he stayed true to that, he'd have graduated as a 3rd Mate.

That sounds familiar from what his father was talking about when we saw him a few months ago.

calugoKeep it simple so maybe a nice graduation card and a 100 dollar gift card. With a gift card he can buy whatever he wants so you don't run the risk of buying something he doesn't need or want. Another suggestion is ask his parents what he might like or could use.

Sig2340Get him really powerful (1K lumen) waterproof flashlight.
In today's seafaring, a good light is far more useful than a knife, since most stuff on ships is either metal or too thick to effectively cut with a knife in a hurry.
Nice is overrated

This. Some places in ships have little to no light. A small, powerful flashlight to keep on his person would serve him well.
