Marine Binoculars

You do not have to be a binoculars specialist to name the most important feature of marine binoculars. They have to be waterproof and preferably fog-proof as well, so that you won't have fogged up inner optics. When using binoculars at sea, you are exposed to the constant rocking of the waves. It makes it almost impossible to obtain a sharp image. That is why the best marine binoculars have a magnification around 7-8x.

Waterproof binoculars

In this section, you will find a selection of binoculars that are perfectly O-ring sealed and filled with nitrogen gas. O-ring sealed means that you could even submerge your binoculars for a certain period of time and they will not suffer any damage. The nitrogen gas, on the other hand, keeps the inner mechanism from fogging up when exposed to temperature changes. Moisture free optics contribute to a longer life of your binoculars because they will not corrode on the inside. For the sailors among us, a Floating Strap from Steiner can be an interesting accessory. It keeps the binoculars which went overboard from sinking and, therefore, it gives you the time to fish your marine binoculars up from the water.
