Boats & Beach Questions.
Which Boats & Beach products will you test first?
The ones listeners request and vote for most, as long as the brand can supply a review unit or we can buy one ourselves.
How long is each test?
30 days of real use, in three episodes: Day 1 first look, Day 7 real life, Day 30 verdict. The verdict airs on Yacht Rock Radio first.
Do brands pay for Boats & Beach reviews?
No. Brands may loan or send products, and every review says how we got it. Verdicts can’t be bought.
