There's nothing better than the exhiliration of jumping in a boat and getting out on the water. The wonderful pursuit of fishing, cruising, or adventuring connects us with the world around us like almost nothing else.
To get the most out of our time on the water requires a certain level of investment, not just in a boat, but in technology that enables us to explore safely and easily. Here are three trending boating tech upgrades that are sure to enhance your experience on the water.
If you're looking to upgrade your boat, the Garmin GPSMAP® 9213xsv can transform the way you navigate, fish and spend time on the water. With processing power up to seven times faster than previous generations, its 13-inch touchscreen delivers smooth navigation, detailed charts and powerful sonar to help you find fish and structure faster. It can also serve as a central hub for compatible onboard cameras and marine systems. And when the fishing is done? HDMI connectivity lets you connect a compatible streaming device, so with internet onboard, you can kick back at the sandbar or dock and catch the game right from your Garmin display.
The second trend enhances vision. With the very best binoculars you can see farther and clearly, even when you're on a moving boat. The SIG SAUER ZULU6 HDX OIS Binoculars do exactly that. With the latest vision technology, the HDX™ Lens System, users benefit from enhanced light transmission, resolution, and definition. They also feature advanced optical image stabilization technology and two user-selectable modes, Scan and Target, with Target mode increasing image stabilization by up to 50%.
Thirdly, why be limited to boating trips just in the daylight hours? With the SIONYX Nightwave IP Digital Camera, you can confidently fish and explore day or night. With moonless starlight sensitivity it allows you to see well beyond human eyesight after dark. Connect it to a compatible multifunction display to bring the camera feed right onto your helm screen, making it easier to spot markers, vessels, unexpected obstacles and more.
