Barefoot earns through affiliate links and, on some gear, fulfilled inventory. A recommendation is worth something only because the gear was used aboard — so the model is affiliate plus fulfilled inventory on tested gear, and nothing else wears the Captain says treatment.
Affiliate links
Some links earn a commission at no extra cost to you. They appear only on gear that has been fitted to this boat and reported on honestly, caveats included.
Fulfilled inventory
Where Barefoot stocks and ships a product, it is the same tested gear already recommended. The fulfilment method is invisible to you and the endorsement is unchanged.
The line
Untested product never wears the Captain says colour, eyebrow, or voice. If it is ever sold, it lives in a visibly different component with its own plain language. That wall is a design rule, not a preference.
