Handheld VHF radios are a necessity when going out on any size boat on the water. They are high frequency radios that provide two way communications. It's worth considering whether your VHF radio will require batteries, can run on on board power supplies, can be charged up whilst on the boat, or whether you need spare batteries. We often have customers buying two sets of handheld VHF radios, a second set will often be cheaper option and only used if the other Radio's were to fail. We now sell waterproof VHF radios and water buoyant radios, it is also worth considering the size of the radio.
