Check out any shooting supply or gun store. They have various optical and
laser range finders.

I'm often unsure about how far I am from other objects in an anchorage
- other boats - other hazards - etc. I wish there was a device that
would measure ranges in the 50-1000 ft range. Not something that
depends on knowing the size of the object being viewed, of course.
But rather an optical or electronic gadget.
