Plotters & Trackers
There's tons of fish finders/chart plotters on the market, so we just included a few by Lowrance, our favorite brand:
When your water cruises take you out of cellphone range, this GPS-powered tracker lets family and friends know you're OK by sending tracking updates and personalized text messages.
But in an emergency situation, the Spot X can be a lifesaver! Simply push the SOS button to send emergency responders your GPS location.
Don't leave the dock without it!
Note: SpotX requires a service plan at $12-$30 per month.

VHF Marine Radios
What is a VHF Radio?
According to Wikipedia, Marine "VHF" radio stands for "Very High Frequency"; in the range between 156 and 174 MHz.
Marine VHF radio equipment is installed on all large ships and most seagoing, river and lakes smallcraft. VHF band radio is used to summon rescue services and communicate with harbors, locks, bridges and marinas.
VHF radios are a must-have safety tool for most boats and kayaks and personal watercraft venturing far from shore. In the event of trouble, a VHF marine radio is likely your only hope of calling for help.
At least get a handheld (portable) VHF Unit. They also come in permanent mount design for larger boats.
