The Companies We Trust & Recommend

We don’t promote anything we wouldn’t use ourselves. Your trust means everything to us, and we’re careful about what we recommend. Some of the products featured here are from sponsors—but only those we genuinely believe in and rely on onboard Tangaroa. If it’s on this page, it’s because it works, and we think it’s worth sharing.

Our Go-To Navigation Software Onboard Tangaroa

We’ve been using TIMEZERO navigation software for a while now, and it’s become something we truly rely on.

Whether we’re anchoring in remote coves or planning our route across the Pacific, it’s the system we trust to keep us safe and informed.

That’s why we partnered with TIMEZERO — not just because it works, but because we believe in it.

 And as a bonus for our viewers, they’ve offered 10% off all products on their webstore using the code TANGAROA.

We’re proud to be part of the TIMEZERO crew and excited to keep showing what it can do in the real world.

The Only Gear We Trust for the Great Siberian Sushi Run

We’ve been wearing Helly Hansen gear for decades—since Janis sailed around the world in her 20s. Through storms, squalls, and cold wet crossings, it’s been the gear that’s kept us dry, warm, and focused.

Now, as Helly Hansen ambassadors, we’re proud to stand behind a brand we’ve believed in long before any partnership.

We’ll be wearing Helly Hansen every step of the way on the Great Siberian Sushi Run, from Alaska to Siberia to Japan—because when the weather turns, this is the gear we count on.

Check out their latest lineup and find what works for you. If we trust it onboard Tangaroa, we think you’ll love it too.

Safety You Can See – Day or Night

When you live on a boat, your eyes are everything—and having an extra set never hurts. That’s why we’re proud to partner with BoatEye360.

Founded by Dhru Shah in a tiny house in Florida, BoatEye360 is a small business with a big mission: to make high-quality marine camera systems—both full-color CMOS and thermal—affordable and accessible to everyday boaters.

We’ve used their gear and trust it to give us eyes forward in dark anchorages, foggy channels, and tough conditions. Whether you’re cruising, fishing, or just learning your way around the water, BoatEye360 is the kind of gear that helps you stay safe—and helps small, smart companies grow.

They’re not just building cameras—they’re building a community of boaters who care about safety, confidence, and the adventure ahead.
