8 of the best waterproof binoculars
Steiner Marine Binoculars, 7×50 – Save 25% Now $281.40 Was $374.99
I love my Steiners. I’ve had a pair similar to these for the past 8 years and they are truly excellent optics. The short barrels make holding them steady at sea easier than with long barrels of other binoculars. Rugged and can take a bit of rough handling which is inevitable when used in sporty weather systems.

Steiner Commander – Save 23% Now £976.00 was £1,271.97
These are 5 star rated by us and quite frankly are the dogs doo dahs of marine binoculars. You’ll be hard pressed to find any better than these. Hydrophobic and light filtering coated lenses. They’re easy to focus and can take virtually anything you can throw at them in terms of marine weather conditions. They’re not the lightest, but that’s absolutely fine. They are reassuringly solid. The eye cups are great for blocking stray light too. These have the built in compass for easy pilotage and for taking bearings and readings of objects and height of distant objects.
