The U.S. Coast Guard encourage all recreational vessels not
required to participate in GMDSS to carry a system to enhance
safety, particularly if you venture offshore away from the more
populated recreational boating areas. The recommended primary
system would be a digitally selective calling (DSC) marine radio
and an Emergency Position Indicator Radio Beacon (EPIRB). For
more information on GMDSS please contact the U.S. Coast Guard.
Cell phones - many recreational boaters rely on cell phones as
their primary means of marine communication. And while a cell
phone can be useful in many situations it should not replace your
marine (VHF) radio. In emergency situations your 911 call may be
misdirected to police or fire departments thus delaying rescue.
Cell calls can not be contacted by rescue boats and aircraft. Your
cell phone should supplement your VHF, not replace it. If you must
rely exclusively on a cell phone be certain to have coast guard and
marine police phone numbers handy. When placing a distress call
be certain to give your position, your cell number, nature of the
emergency and the number of people on board.
