Read our detailed review, ratings and verdict
  • What is an EPIRB: An EPIRB (Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon) is a life-saving marine distress beacon that, when activated, sends an SOS with your GPS position to Search & Rescue via the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system—no subscription fees.
  • GLOBAL SATELLITE SOS + LOCAL AIS ALERTING: Transmits a 406 MHz MEOSAR distress signal for worldwide satellite alerting and an AIS emergency message so nearby AIS-equipped vessels can see your distress on their chartplotter immediately—subscription-free safety.
  • RETURN LINK SERVICE (RLS) CONFIRMATION: RLS gives a clear visual acknowledgement that your SOS has been received by the satellite network, providing confidence that help is being notified even when you have zero mobile coverage—no monthly plan required.
  • CAT 1 FLOAT FREE AUTO RELEASE BRACKET (2851): Supplied with Category 1 hydrostatic release bracket for automatic float-free deployment if a vessel sinks, plus manual activation—ideal for offshore cruising, fishing, and serious bluewater passages.
  • GPS POSITIONING + 121.5 MHz HOMING + APP SUPPORT: Built-in GNSS provides fast, accurate coordinates, while 121.5 MHz homing helps SAR pinpoint you in the final search; mobile app makes self-tests and status checks simple—no subscription and no ongoing fees.
