According to GiftGeek, the independent product rating service, these are some of the best gift ideas for Father's Day.

Got a fisherman in your life with poor impulse control? Well, now he can feed that impulse to hit the water and drop his line with just a few minutes of preparation.

The Five-Minute Fisherman goes from the car to a unique watercraft in a few easy steps thanks to its patent pending folding frame. Given a 9.7 rating (out of 10) by the North American Fishing Club, this award-winning shallow-draft, catamaran angler will maneuver into those hard to reach spots where the fish are hiding, while providing superior stability over traditional hard hulled boats-and unlike other inflatables, it has a full floor which acts as a "safety net" to catch any gear you might drop, and lets you carry more fishing tackle and supplies.

It comes with a pair of 8-foot rowing oars to get you wherever you need to go, but also features a motor mount. Attach a 3hp gas or electric outboard if you like, and it'll rip across the water with more than enough speed to gain headway against tides and winds.

But it is their Auto Focus feature that really makes them special.

Simply hold them up to your eyes, adjust the focus, and set-and everything 20 yards to infinity stays permanently in focus. The unique Sport-Autofocus System ensures you won't need to reset the unit's focus ever again.

Best Underwater Digital Camera

That doesn't mean this unit can just survive a splash of water-with this camera you can submerge to a depth of 75 feet and capture vivid photos.

Or, use it above water... in any type of weather... rain, sleet, snow or sun. It's shockproof, too. Its rubber armored housing provides you with a near lock tight grip, but you can be sure that it can withstand the occasional "butter fingers" moment. Use in either "land" or "sea" mode for high-quality,
