Marine Hailers
By Capt. Dan Berg

Marine Hailers are a bit more than just a load speaker for the Captain to yell at the crew. These radio sized machines are multifunctional. For example you can hook up multiple speakers and talk to passengers or crew on the bow or stern. Most of these units also have built in fog and anchor horns. Believe me its much easier to throw a switch on the hailer and have an automatic fog horn rather than try to count seconds while holding the horn and handling the boat while trying to run on radar and gps alone. This simple little device which costs about the same as a vhs radio make the job of running a boat much easier. I strongly recommend one for any vessel that operates on the open ocean or any boater that wants to make his navigation requirements a bit les complicated.

Within these pages you will find links to a variety of Marine Hailer manufacturers and distributors so you can compare features as well as cost.
