Whether you're fishing offshore, navigating at night, or cruising through fog, a marine radar system is one of the most valuable tools you can have on board. It's more than just a navigation aid -- it's your second set of eyes when visibility disappears.
At Marine Professionals Inc., we help boaters choose and install the right radar for their vessel, from compact dome units to powerful open-array systems.
Why Add Radar to Your Boat?
- Safety in All Conditions
Radar helps you detect nearby boats, land, weather systems, and floating obstacles -- even in pitch
black or heavy fog.
It adds an essential layer of situational awareness and collision avoidance.
- Night Navigation
When the sun goes down, radar keeps you informed. Know what's around you before you see it -- from anchored vessels to channel markers.
- Fishing Advantage
Offshore anglers use radar to spot birds diving on baitfish, track weather systems, and find offshore structures. It's a serious tool for finding serious fish.
- Weather Awareness
Some radar systems can display storm cells and rainfall, giving you time to adjust course or seek shelter before conditions worsen.
Trusted Brands We Work With At Marine Professionals Inc., we install and support radar systems from top manufacturers like:
