Another Bushnell product with the waterproof and fogproof requirements for marine binoculars, these are a budget pair that do its business more than satisfactorily. The lenses are good enough to provide clear, bright viewing during the day and decent enough viewing in low-light conditions.
As far as casual boating goes, these binoculars will serve the seaman just fine, providing increased awareness and security with a reliability befitting moderate sailing. In cases, in particular onboard a sailboat accustomed to rocky expeditions, a more robust model might be better. But the quality of sight and feel of these in your hands make for a convincing middle-range marine binoculars.
