Ocean Signal EPIRB1-PRO EPIRB Cat 1 Class 2

The Ocean Signal EPIRB1-PRO EPIRB Cat 1 Class 2 is an essential emergency beacon for serious mariners. Whether you're fishing offshore, anchored in remote waters, or facing an unexpected storm, this personal locator beacon transmits your position directly to international search and rescue authorities within minutes. Its compact design allows for easy stowing in a grab bag, while its rugged construction ensures it can withstand harsh marine environments.

Engineered to meet Category 1 specifications, the EPIRB1-PRO floats upright and automatically activates upon immersion in saltwater, which is critical for users who may be incapacitated or abandoning their vessel. The Class 2 designation confirms its compliance with international maritime safety standards, operating on the 406 MHz distress frequency monitored globally by the Cospas-Sarsat satellite system. This beacon features integrated GPS positioning for precise location tracking and a backup 121.5 MHz homing signal to assist rescuers in locating you.

Offshore fishermen, liveaboard cruisers, and charter captains operating beyond cellular network coverage rely on beacons like the EPIRB1-PRO as their primary distress tool. Its dual-frequency architecture ensures that rescue coordination centers and vessels can locate you even in poor satellite coverage or severe weather conditions. Investing in the EPIRB1-PRO is not just a precaution; it could be the difference between a bad day and a tragedy.
