Some equipment important communication that allows effective communication while on the water is discussed below:
Marine VHF Radio: This equipment is typically installed on all boats and is used for a variety of purposes. It is mainly used to communicate with other boaters or the nearest marina or a service. It is also a very useful device for calling emergency services. The VHF radio operating in the VHF frequency 156 and 174The VHF radio operating in the VHF frequency between 156-174 MHz is widely used to avoid a collision of vessels at sea MHz is widely used to prevent collisions of ships at sea VHF Marine Radio works primarily on the principle of "simplex" transmission, where communication takes place in one direction both.
VHS DSC: Many new VHS radio are not available with DSC. Enable transmit a DSC distress MAYDAY, which will include the identification of ships, the coordinates and time, to facilitate a quick response.

Single sideband radiotelephone: This high power radio is an ideal tool, which is used for long-range communications usually long distance cruisers and commercial operators. The radiotelephones are constructed so that can withstand the rigors of the sea. Some also radiotelephones emailing capabilities. On the operation of one side of the radio band requires an amateur radio license. Most new single side band radios have Digital Signal Processing (DSP) virtually eliminates noise and interference and operate of 1300 channels.
