Steiner Navigator Pro 7x50c marine Binoculars

Having a good set of binoculars onboard is key, and you shouldn’t rely on your charter boat having a quality pair—bareboats are notorious for having binoculars that have been abused to the point of uselessness. Steiner’s Navigator Pro 7x50c offers 7x magnification and provides a bright and sharp image, helping to tell from a distance if that blob on the horizon is a red marker, a green marker or just a lobster pot. The Navigator Pro’s lenses are sealed with 14-psi pressurized dry nitrogen to keep the lenses free from fog in hot and cool temperatures, and the binoculars also have an illuminated analog compass for taking easy-to-read bearings.
