What binoculars to buy?

Depends on what your willing to pay. If money is no object I'd go with Steiner marine or maybe look at image stabilized binoculars. In any case your going to want a wide field of vision, say 40-50 mm.

Sun, A warm :welcome: to the GLF site. :)

Buy the best you can afford. Binoculars are tough to use on a boat. The rougher the seas the harder it is to focus on an object. When viewing another boat from your boat and both are bobbing around it is challenging to say the least.:)

Battery stabilized binoculars help with the bobbing around... but they're pretty pricey. If you ever get a chance to try them out it is incredible. I don't think I could ever afford them.
