When timing is critical, the best form of communication any boater can have is a VHF marine radio. With today's advancements in technology, many boaters think simply having a cellular telephone on board is good enough. We urge you to consider this...

 

When you make a call to  a 911 operator via your cellular telephone, the call goes to a single dispatcher (usually based out of the area) who is more accustomed to responding to land based emergencies. This individual will run through the motions to assess your emergency, confirm whether you need police, fire or ambulance, then try to confirm your location. All while wasting valuable time before realizing that the best organization for your emergency is likely the Coast Guard. When it comes to marine emergencies like a sinking boat, every second counts in saving your life and your cellular telephone is not the best tool for the job.

 

Now, a MAYDAY call broad-casted over channel 16 of your VHF marine radio will be instantly heard by not only the Coast Guard but every vessel of opportunity in the surrounding area of your distress, giving you far greater odds of receiving assistance in a hurry. Every boater should have on board, or carry a VHF marine radio.

 

Canadian Coastal Services operates two full time radio shore stations authorized and licensed by Industry Canada within the Essex County region to aid in assuring your call for assistance is picked up on time, every time.

 

 Breakdowns happen, and when they do you need to be prepared! Canadian Coastal Services HIGHLY recommends that every boater carries marine towing coverage to cover you from the high cost of marine towing. For the best and most reliable coverage across the entire Great Lakes, we recommend BoatUS. They provide for coverage over 100% of the Great Lakes. Click the link bellow to join NOW.
