Editorial policy

Online Marina Editorial Policy

Our editorial policy keeps Online Marina reviews practical, evidence-led, and independent from merchant or brand influence.

Our Standards

Online Marina reviews are guided by three rules:

  1. Boat-first context - We judge gear by real marine use: spray, wind, movement, storage, safety, and cold hands.
  2. Transparent reasoning - Recommendations must explain the tradeoff, not just name a winner.
  3. Commercial separation - Affiliate rates do not determine product selection, rankings, or conclusions.

What We Do Not Do

  • Accept payment for favourable reviews.
  • Let brands pre-approve conclusions.
  • Hide affiliate relationships from readers.
  • Recommend safety-related kit without discussing fit, maintenance, or suitability.

Corrections and Updates

We update articles when specifications, pricing, availability, safety guidance, or reader corrections materially change the buying decision.
