Marine EPIRB

SmartFind G8 AIS & Kannad SafePro AIS EPIRBs

An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) is a safety device carried by a vessel to alert search and rescue services and allow them to quickly locate you in the event of an emergency. When activated it transmits a coded message on the 406 MHz distress frequency which is monitored by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system. The alert is then relayed via an earth station to the nearest Rescue Coordination Centre (RCC). With an EPIRB you can summon help wherever you are on the planet, subscription free, no matter how remote!

5 of 5 McMurdo G8 Smartfind Auto - CAT 1 August 22, 2020
Reviewer: Joey from Hattiesburg, MS United States  
Did a lot of research on EPIRB’s and this one is one of the best out there but hard to find in stock. Marine Deal did not only have it in stock but the lowest price around. Smooth transaction and fast shipping with email notifications and tracking info. Never talked to anyone but these are some great online folks to shop with.
