Performance Sunglasses for Boating
Marine conditions constantly change, whether you're cruising the open ocean, fishing offshore or tightening your coat while relaxing on your deck.

By improving visual clarity, performance-based eyewear can also help reduce fatigue to your eyesight caused by long-term exposure to the sun and/or reflection on surfaces such as water. You can purchase lightweight and comfortable sunglasses for boating with prescription lenses or without prescription lenses, so they will fit your needs. Some benefits of using performance-based sunglasses or performance-based goggles include:
- Clarity & Contrast - enhanced ability to see the channel markers, cross the channels of other boats, locate docks, see floating objects, observe water conditions CHANGE, notice shoreline features, etc.
- Reduced Glare & UV Protection - protecting your eyes from UV (Ultraviolet) radiation as well as minimising glare from the sun's direct reflection on the water surface, boat decks and other types of bright conditions within the marine environment.

Boating Sunglasses for Kids
If your child enjoys family boating excursions (fishing, sailing, exploring marinas, or doing other things in or near the water), your kid is subjected to a great deal of sunlight, glare from the water, wind and changes to the weather. This is why you should consider getting sunglasses for your child that were specifically made for boating. There are several things to consider when selecting boating sunglasses or goggles for your child:
- Impact-Resistant Materials: Sunglasses and goggles for your child need to be made from materials that will resist impact (i.e., accidental drops) due to physical activity outside and doing many different activities associated with boating and waterfronts.
- Comfort: Sunglasses and goggles for your child should be lightweight and should fit securely and comfortably so that he/she can easily wear them while boating, fishing, sailing or playing in or around the water.
- Lightweight: Polycarbonate lenses on sunglasses are very durable, while also being light enough to wear comfortably all day long while enjoying a boating adventure.
- UV Protection and Glare Reduction: Tinted or polarized sunglasses and goggles will protect your child's eyes from harmful UV rays, as well as reduce glare reflected off the water, from the boat or dock, when there is sun or bright light in the surrounding water.

How to Choose Boating Sunglasses:
1. Opt for Polarized Lenses
Opt for polarized lenses to reduce glare off water surfaces to see buoys, boats, channel markers, and variable conditions more easily while still reducing your risk for developing an eye strain.
2. Look for 100% UV Protection
While searching for boating sunglasses or goggles, look for lenses with 100% UVA & UVB protection. Spending hours on the water increases exposure and therefore increases the need for UV protection to protect against long-term eye damage.
3. Secure Fit and Comfort
Frames for boating should not come loose during activity, windy and rough water conditions. Lightweight frames with slip resistant nose pads and non-slip temple tips are the most comfortable.
4. Lens Colors Matter
Lens colors enhance visibility depending on conditions. Gray tinted lenses will provide a natural color in bright sun. Copper, amber and bronze tinted lenses will help create contrast and depth perception on open water.
5. Choose Durable, Impact-Resistant Materials
Marine conditions can be very hard on equipment. Sunglasses or goggles made of strong materials such as polycarbonate or nylon will hold up against drops and salt water splashes.
6. Keep Your Activities in Mind
Different boating activities may require different lens features in order to achieve the desired benefits. For instance, anglers may prefer extra contrast and glare reduction, whereas sailors, powered boaters and recreational cruisers may prefer wider coverage and greater wind blockage.
FAQ
Good boating sunglasses need good polarized lenses to cut glare on the water, 100% UV protection (key for safety while outdoors), lightweight frames for comfort and a secure fit for protection.
Yes. Polarized lenses are a must for any activity on the water because they reduce glare from the sun, thus allowing for better visibility of objects in the water, such as obstacles to avoid and help eliminate visual fatigue.
The trendy lens colors for getting on the water will always remain gray, copper, amber and bronze. Gray retains the natural color of your environment when it is sunny. Copper and bronze enhance contrast and help with judging distance in the water.
The answer is yes. Much of boating involves being exposed to the sun continuously and if there is sunlight being reflected off of the water, you will be exposed to UV rays that are also a reflection from your surroundings. Therefore, sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection will help protect your eyes from damage caused by the sun.
Yes. There are many varieties of performance boating glasses with prescription lenses available. Prescription boating glasses will provide you with clarity of vision, reduced glare from light rays and protection from harmful sunlight.
It depends on the type of boating activity being performed. Usually, sunglasses will be adequate for most typical recreational activities, including fishing and sailing. However, when it comes to high-speed boats, personal watercraft or any similar boating activity that has extreme wind, water spray or rough waters, goggles may be best suited as they provide a higher level of eye protection.
