Plan a crew kitMarine & Yacht
Two-way radios and accessories for yacht crews
Equip deck, engineering and interior teams around the work they do. Plan handsets, audio accessories and charging together—or identify a replacement for equipment already aboard.
What does your crew need?
Replace or add equipment
Send the full radio model and the item you need. Add the models of any chargers, batteries or audio accessories you want to keep using.
Request an equipment matchChoose marine VHF
Compare handheld and fixed-mount marine VHF separately from everyday crew radios. Identify the functions, installation components and exact version needed for your vessel.
Plan a marine VHF inquiryMatch the setup to the role
Deck: controls, carry and exposure
Consider gloves, spray, background noise and where the radio will sit while you work. Include the microphone, cable and carry arrangement when comparing options.
Engineering: audio and working conditions
Describe the areas that need communication and any hearing-protection or equipment-certification requirements. Identify the complete radio and accessory combination for review.
Interior: a practical worn setup
Look at handset size, earpiece comfort, cable routing and the push-to-talk position. Decide which equipment is personal and which will be shared between shifts.

Crew coordination and marine VHF serve different jobs
Crew-radio selection begins with the people who need to talk, their work areas and the existing system. Marine VHF selection begins with the vessel's communication requirements and the functions of the exact equipment.
Crew radios are not a substitute for required marine safety equipment. Use the guide to separate the categories before building your request.
Count the equipment that keeps each radio working
Include a carry option and suitable audio accessories for each user. Count the batteries, spares and charging positions needed when equipment returns at the same time. Record the full models of any items you intend to retain.
A good replacement starts with the full model
Record the brand, complete model number and quantity required. Include the part numbers on batteries, chargers and audio accessories that must remain in use. Similar appearance or a matching connector alone does not establish compatibility.
Clear photographs of the radio and its model label can help. Keep the model readable and obscure unnecessary serial numbers, asset tags and customer identifiers. Do not force covers or dismantle equipment to obtain a photograph.
Plan a marine VHF inquiry
Tell us whether you need handheld or fixed-mount equipment, the functions required, and any antenna, power, mounting or integration requirements. Mark anything you are unsure about for review.
Bring your crew equipment list to CMI
Share what you know: the number of users, work areas, existing models, delivery location and required date. Mark anything you are unsure about for review.

Marine & Yacht questions
Can I add radios to the crew's existing system?
Begin with the full model numbers and operating configuration. Brand, appearance and the word “digital” do not establish compatibility. Include the accessories you want to retain in your request.
Are crew radios the same as marine VHF radios?
They serve different buying needs. Crew-radio planning begins with people and their compatible system; marine VHF planning begins with the vessel's communication requirements and the exact equipment. Crew radios do not replace required marine safety equipment.
What should I include in a crew equipment request?
Send the number of users, work areas, existing models, audio and charging needs, delivery location and required date. Mark anything you are unsure about for review.
Can CMI help identify a replacement accessory?
Send the full radio model and the model of the item you need to replace. Include any charger, battery or audio accessory that must remain in use. CMI can review the request from that information; compatibility must be confirmed for the exact combination.
