EPIRBs: A Lifesaving Companion at Sea

EPIRBs are essential safety devices designed for marine use. In the event of an emergency, these beacons automatically activate and transmit distress signals to the Coast Guard or other relevant search and rescue authorities. Our selection includes Category I and II EPIRBs, providing reliable coverage worldwide.

The EPIRB models we offer include:

• Category I EPIRBs: Designed for vessels that venture offshore, these EPIRBs offer the highest level of protection and durability.
• Category II EPIRBs: Perfect for coastal and inland waterways, these EPIRBs are more compact and affordable while still providing reliable emergency signaling.

PLBs: Versatile Personal Safety Solutions

For those seeking added flexibility and personal protection, our Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs) are an excellent choice. These compact devices can be manually or automatically activated when you fall overboard, transmitting your location to the boat and/or a rescue coordination center. PLBs are ideal for a wide range of activities, including boating, hiking, camping, and more.

The PLB models we carry include:
