My husband and I enjoy the ocean and just wondering if any of you that have bought these have used these for different ships, etc?. Thanks much

I am not sure if this is what you mean, but we have taken these Bushnell's on a cruise to Bermuda and enjoyed using them on our balcony to watch the ships that were sailing nearby as well as when arriving and leaving port. They are a nice compact set of binoculars.

They are wonderful for the money! Took them with me on an Alaska cruise and observed all the wildlife with them. They performed very well and I would recommend them

I think is the same. But, I would like to advice you that if you are planning to use them at the ocean they are not very appropriate. The straps tend to lose and or to drift away and the system is not very stable. I can only use them at them pool. For waves there are other models with fixed strap that are more functionals. Hope this help

My wife has not tried it in the ocean yet. But contact Underwater Audio at help@underwateraudio.com, they are very responsive.

They are not specifically "marine" speakers but they are made of materials that will not be affected by moisture. Salt water is another story though.

Yes, I use mine in the ocean all the time. I have two ocean kayaks and I rarely use them anymore. It's so much easier to transport the sevylor. I highly recommend buying the "skeg" when using the kayak in oceans and lakes. The skeg also helps in rivers, but the skeg can present problems with boulders, rocks, branches and debris in a river. The skeg helps to keep the kayak tracking in a straight line. The inflatable seats are pretty useless. I use small canvas folding stadium type chairs instead and secure them to the kayak with rope.

They are very pretty but we only let off a few. We got worried about a fire. We took them to the lake and that was cool. They dropped into the water instead of someone's house. Good luck!

I've used these guys pretty extensively on boats, including whale watching, my own 27' sailboat and on various deep sea birding trips. They work great and are my go-to binoculars in that situation. They complete cut out engine and wind vibration. They do not help with the motion of the waves. I find that the powers up to about 15x are useful on a boat. If the swell is normal or high then the 10x are about as high as you can go. For flatter days or bigger ships the 15 or 18x are useful. For example, I use the 15xs on a fast catamaran ferry and they work fine unless the swell is bad. On a small fishing boat or sail boat I would think the 10x would be about the highest I would go.

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

Possibly yes but also possibly no because they are so thick. I only surf, no paddle board so I can't honestly say. What I'd do is buy a set off Craig's List and see. If not resale them....

They are aluminum and aren't rusting at all. I'm pretty sure aluminum won't rust. I'm not sure about the coastal areas but I do have mine around my pook which is salt water. They are very pretty and heavy pieces. I hope this helps!

I have not tried it in the ocean, but I bet it works! I LOVE mine. I read the respond of another user--and I agree that you need to rinse it well and dry it. Actually drying it well is a good idea-- regardless where you use it. Have fun with it.

Honestly we never really used them near water, however we did use them in wet weather.They work just fine.

Yes! They do! It's been a nice set. I haven't owned teak before. We live super close to the p ocean. Coated it once in the beginning of summer with teak oil, and it majorly needsA refreshing! Hope this answer helped! �

They hold up very well to salt water. As a precaution, when I wash my boat and trailer I rinse them. I am more than happy with them. Can not imagine going back to the old way of ratcheting.

I think so. They are not made for the water but there are not stickers that would come off or anything that might be damaged from the water. I would just make sure to set them out to dry when you are finished with them.
