marine grade

Built for boats

Marine grade describes materials, finishes, or equipment built to withstand prolonged exposure to saltwater, humidity, and harsh marine environments.

The designation indicates superior corrosion resistance and durability: marine grade stainless steel, marine grade plywood.

Products marketed as marine grade command premium prices, though the term has no universal standard and sometimes amounts to marketing language.
