Boat Radars & GPS

A boat radar uses radio waves to detect objects around your boat, such as land, buoys and other boats, helping you navigate safely in poor visibility, at night or in busy waterways.

A radar can be useful on smaller boats that operate in coastal waters, busy shipping areas reduced visibility, but it is most valuable for vessels that cruise regularly or in variable conditions.

Most modern marine radars are designed to integrate with compatible chartplotters, allowing radar images to be overlaid on charts for improved situational awareness.

Boat radar is usually mounted on a mast, radar pole or arch to provide an unobstructed view around the vessel and improve detection range.
