Boat Horns

According to the international and inland U.S. regulations aimed at safety on the water, every vessel has to be equipped with an adequate sound signaling device. Known as ship whistles or horns, they use a special system of signals to warn other vessels about maneuvering intentions, in fog, in the case of approach, emergency, etc. In order to be efficient, the horns have to meet certain requirements in terms of their loudness, yet they have to be reliable and durable enough. A wide range of such goods is offered in our online store.

Following the '72 COLREGs and some other sea rules, the horn's sound pressure level and frequency have to be selected in accordance with the vessel's length. Commonly, the lower and louder tones are peculiar to larger vessels. In our catalog, you can find a variety of models whose loudness in decibels and voltage have been presorted for your convenience. Besides good audibility, most of them feature non-corrosive diaphragms, convenient and reliable mounting systems, stylish looks, and durable constructions made of brass or stainless steel and resistant to both fresh and salt water. All of our horns have been sourced from leading brands such as Wolo, Schmitt & Ongaro, and others.
