What is VHF? Is the radio equipment for voice communication, which equips the vast majority of boats.
The 16 VHF radio channel is constantly monitored by authorities and yacht clubs worldwide.
The Maritime Mobile Service, provided by Embratel, allowds through a network of coastal stations, operators to call a vessel by VHF channel 16.
Coastal Stations of the maritime mobile system are also listening on channel 16 in 24h of the day, with the goal of establishing communication between a vessel and a phone anywhere in the world.
In remote places where there is no access from the mobile phone, the Maritime Mobile System is the only possible means of communication with someone on board.
Yes, there is the System Cellular Satellite, and also SSB radios which have a much higher than the VHF radio range, but are uncommon choices in recreational craft.
The VHF radios fitted "ocean" sailboats with speedboats and cabin. Its range is very variable (antenna height, spread, etc., etc.) and indicate an "average" is something subject to much criticism. Someone might say that the radio "reaches" 10 to 20km.
