Boating Binoculars

Our Review
First thing to consider when looking at Marine Binoculars, is what are we going to use them for. We mostly use them for Navigating which means we need to be able to spot channel markers and objects in the water.

Most places specializing in Binoculars cover birding and hunting and astronomy which are too powerful for the marine environment. Boats are not stable and so anything with a power over 7 is going to have a blurred image due to hand shake or boat movement. Buy from a purveyor of marine & boating Binoculars and make sure you try them.

We look at how binoculars work, then we look at what all those numbers mean i.e. 7*50 what does that mean, and why are marine binoculars rated 7 * 50. Next we look at the prism types. For example what does Roof and Porro Prism mean. To help explain we have a Chart of binocular types for various uses and sports. Next we look at some quality Marine Binoculars.
