Important Notice: The Retired Sailor is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.
What This Means
When you click on links to Amazon.com or other Amazon sites on our website and make a purchase, we may earn a small commission at no additional cost to you. This helps support our website and allows us to continue providing valuable content about sailing, boating, and retirement lifestyle.
Our Commitment to You
- Honest Reviews: We only recommend products and services we genuinely believe will add value to sailors, boaters, and those enjoying the maritime lifestyle. Our affiliate relationship with Amazon does not influence our editorial content or product recommendations.
- No Extra Cost: Using our affiliate links does not increase the price you pay. The cost remains the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.
- Your Choice: You are under no obligation to use our affiliate links. You can always navigate directly to Amazon or other retailers if you prefer.
Transparency
We believe in full transparency with our audience. When we include affiliate links in our content, we clearly disclose this relationship. Our goal is to provide honest, helpful information while maintaining the sustainability of our website through these partnerships.
Product Availability & Pricing
Please note that product availability, pricing, and specifications on Amazon may change without notice. We strive to keep our content up to date, but we recommend verifying current information directly on Amazon before making a purchase.
Other Affiliate Programs
In addition to the Amazon Associates Program, The Retired Sailor may participate in other affiliate marketing programs. When applicable, we will clearly disclose these relationships in our content.
