ACR Pathfinder™ PRO SART

The ACR Pathfinder™ PRO SART is a fully IMO SOLAS-compliant Search and Rescue Transponder engineered to dramatically increase your visibility to rescue vessels during maritime emergencies. When interrogated by radar, the Pathfinder PRO transmits 12 distinct response blips across a rescue vessel's radar screen—a proven signal pattern that cuts through maritime noise and alerts rescuers to your precise location far more effectively than passive flotation or flares alone.

Built with a superior lithium battery delivering over 96 hours of continuous operating life, the Pathfinder PRO eliminates the anxiety of battery failure during extended offshore operations or unexpected delays in rescue response. The transponder's rugged 5 x 5 x 12-inch form factor and 1.7-pound weight make it practical to store in emergency lockers, grab bags, or lifeboat kits without consuming excessive space or adding burden during water abandonment scenarios. Its radar-reflective signal pattern meets strict international maritime safety standards, making it the choice for serious offshore anglers, commercial fishermen, and vessel operators who cannot afford compromised rescue detection in critical situations.

Search and Rescue Transponders are mandatory safety equipment for deepwater operations and heavily recommended for anyone regularly transiting beyond visual range of the coast. The Pathfinder PRO addresses the reality that survival at sea depends on being found—and radar-based location is often the only reliable method in poor visibility, heavy seas, or nighttime conditions. Whether you operate a commercial fishing vessel, run offshore charter trips, or pursue distant-water sport fishing, this transponder provides the technical edge that transforms a distress situation from a search problem into a precision navigation fix for incoming rescue assets.
