The Navigator series is developed specifically for leisure craft and sailors.

Typical features:

• robust and rubber-armored housing
• waterproof construction
• nitrogen pressure filling to prevent fogging
• high light transmission and a wide field of view.

Navigator binoculars are available both with and without a built-in compass, and are among the most widely used marine binoculars in Norway.

Steiner Commander

The Commander series is the flagship model in Steiner’s marine program and is frequently used by professional navigators.

Features:

• exceptionally high optical quality
• precise and illuminated compass
• extreme durability
• developed for use on bridges and workboats.

The Commander series is considered by many to be one of the best marine binoculars available on the market.

How to choose the right marine binoculars

When choosing binoculars for use at sea, there are some important differences you should be aware of.

7×30 or 7×50 – what is the difference?

Most marine binoculars have 7× magnification. This provides a stable image even in waves.

The difference lies in the size of the objective lens.

7×30

• lighter and more compact
• fits well in the cockpit
• popular on sailboats and smaller leisure craft.

7×50

• larger objective lens provides more light
• better in twilight and poor weather
• often used on fishing boats and larger vessels.

Binoculars with or without a compass

Marine binoculars are available both with and without a built-in compass.

A compass in the binoculars makes it possible to:

• take bearings on lighthouses and landmarks
• verify heading
• use the binoculars actively in navigation.

Therefore, many navigators choose models with a compass, such as the Steiner Navigator 7×30c or 7×50c.

Why use marine binoculars at sea

A good pair of marine binoculars is an essential tool for navigation and safety.

It makes it easier to:

• identify sea marks and lighthouses
• read the names of other vessels
• observe traffic in the waters
• orient oneself in poor visibility.

Many find that a good pair of binoculars becomes one of the most frequently used navigation tools on board.
