That might be a bit fragile on the boat. I use a Pentax Optio WG-2 on the boat. It's an adventure camera that I use underwater and for normal use. At home I use a Canon EOS 7D which is an alloy body camera built tough but I would not take it to sea. Ebay has them for reasonable money second hand and they have excellent reviews. I paid about $400 for a body only, already had a selection of lenses.
For binoculars I use half a 7x50. The other half is in the car.

Nikon Coolpix W300
Waterproof to 30 metres, 5x optical zoom and it does up to 4K video recording and an added benefit is that you can have it in safety yellow to help find it more easily.
The only thing I don't like about it is that it uses a proprietary battery but then so many of them these days do, I would prefer something that takes AA's.

Binoculars depends entirely on the type of boating you do, you will find that most of the time they are tucked away and you couldn't be bothered. Any of the major brands would more than satisfy your needs, try to stay under 10x50 as anything above 10x becomes very difficult to hand hold in a boat, 7x50 are ideal as they have a large exit pupil and that's something that's very handy in low light.

The Tasco offshore with the compass are good binoculars but I've only used the inbuilt compass a couple of times in the fifteen years or more I've had them, I'd forego the compass in favour of auto focus, which saves a bit of time mucking around focusing .

Thanks all
My thinking for binoculars is a bit like insurance, good to have and hope you never have to use them in a dyer situation, more like a bit of site seeing or whale watching.

As for cameras, I have learnt the more you research the more confusing it becomes and the less you actually know.

I have a GoPro for underwater stuff.
Handy as it links to phone so u can see what it's pointed at in real time.
