Where to buy Nikon Ocean Pro CF WP:
Amazon
Nikon is one of the most trusted brands in all things optics. Sturdy and reliable, Nikon binoculars are neither ridiculously expensive nor do they promise the moon. The Ocean Pro is a marine unit that might not be the best in terms of bells and whistles, but the feel of these binoculars and ease of use promise a product that delivers what you need while sailing or boating. There is a cheaper Ocean Pro model, a cheaper alternative that doesn’t include a compass, which may be irrelevant for those using chartplotters.
Clean optics and passable night vision utility (although you’ll probably have to invest in a pair of night vision binoculars if you want something specifically for nighttime use) make this something you won’t regret buying. High contrast imaging is great on the water. Just remember the floating strap to keep these Nikon binoculars afloat should they bail into the water.
Things we like:

Good “no-fault” repair and replacement policy from Nikon
