I have a pair of A.O.E 11x56 that are reasonable for the money,they are on the very edge of handholdable,but much better mounted,light gathering is good and show quite good views,with very little flaring on brighter objects.
I agree with the comments re 15x70s,they Must be mounted or you will be very dissapointed.
If I understand correctly,you mention viewing from the middle of the ocean,if that is correct,I strongly recommend Waterproof binoculars,or whatever you buy may have a very short life span.
Regards.John
