Thank you for visiting Sailing Luna Sea. We believe in transparency, so we want to clearly explain our relationships with third‑party companies and how we earn money from certain links on this site.
Participation in Affiliate Programs
Sailing Luna Sea participates in various affiliate marketing programs, including the Amazon Associates Program. When you click on affiliate links and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. These programs help support the time and resources required to research, test, and publish the content you find here.
How Commissions Are Earned
- Clicking an affiliate link: If you follow a link to a merchant partner (for example, Amazon) and complete a purchase, the merchant may pay Sailing Luna Sea a small commission.
- No additional cost to you: Commissions are paid by the merchant and do not increase the price you pay for the product or service.
- Tracking and cookies: Affiliate programs typically use tracking cookies or referral codes to attribute purchases to our site. These cookies are managed by the merchant and are subject to their terms and privacy policies.
Editorial Independence
Our product recommendations, reviews, and opinions are not influenced by affiliate partnerships. We only promote products, gear, and services we genuinely believe will be useful to sailors and cruisers or that we have personally evaluated. Affiliate relationships do not affect our editorial judgment, and we strive to provide honest, accurate, and helpful content for our readers.
What This Means for You
- Using affiliate links helps keep Sailing Luna Sea running and funds content creation, gear reviews, and destination research.
- You will never be charged extra because you used an affiliate link.
- If you prefer not to use affiliate links, you can search for the product directly on the merchant’s site or shop elsewhere.
By using Sailing Luna Sea, you acknowledge and accept that we may earn commissions from purchases made through affiliate links. We appreciate your support — it helps us continue to share practical sailing advice, gear reviews, and cruising stories.
