Satellite phone service is no longer an expensive tool limited to commercial merchant vessels or a luxury accessory for mega yachts, but an affordable essential for any craft at sea.

Power failures at sea may result in a long swim to shore or an extended sushi diet. Standard radio communication is often subject to line of sight which is of no use when your engine cuts out on the other side of the island or your zodiac capsizes.

Handheld Iridium satellite phones offer standalone connectivity anywhere under the sun. At just under pound it stows just about anywhere and offers 3 hours of talk time with a full charge. The unit powers up in seconds and then you can simply call as though you were on a cell phone, in the middle of the pacific, North Pole or Catalina Island. Complete coverage from one pole to the other… Can you hear me now!

An optional boat kit for the bridge adds a cradle with speaker phone, privacy handset and charges your phone while stowed.
