What kind of suntan lotion does everyone keep on board their boat?
do you prefer oil or lotion? How much do you normally use in a season?

I try to keep on of each on board, so I have one of each. I buy the
big bottle of generic lotion and one bottle will last the season.

What is everyone's else favorite?
Nothing.

That's right - you heard me, nothing. :)

I don't wear shorts or sandals and I wear light colored UV cloth long
sleeved shirts along with a wide brimmed hat - even on the hottest
days.

SWF,
When you have a killer body like mine, all of the dock girls want you to
walk around without a shirt on. Most of them prefer to rub oil on my
chest and back, but I prefer a SPF 15 lotion. It does not get the seats
and gunwales all slick.
ps - I used to only use Baseball/Sailor Caps for head gear because they
were cheap and if they blew off, I had 5 more down below. But I have
since started using a wide brim Tilley Hat which protects the whole face
and back of the neck. The neck strap also holds the hat on when you are
underway.

I don't go that far, but I wear a wide brimmed Brahma hat from
Australia. Tan with a green interior brim - keeps the sun glare down.

I would assume you mean this company:

Are you using a leather or canvas model? I have always steered (catch
the pun) clear of the leather due to the spray, falling overboard or
just swimming while wearing the hat.
