With its robust features and advanced technologies, the NAUTICO 3 is a reliable companion for those navigating the waters, ensuring safety and communication on board.

One of the standout features of the NAUTICO 3 is its waterproof and rugged design. It is built to withstand the harsh marine environment, making it ideal for use in adverse weather conditions. The device boasts an IP67 rating, which means it can be submerged in water up to one meter deep for up to 30 minutes, providing peace of mind for users in unpredictable situations.

The NAUTICO 3 operates on Marine VHF channels, ensuring clear and reliable communication between vessels. With 25 watts of transmission power, the device offers long-range communication capabilities, allowing users to stay in touch with other ships or shore stations over considerable distances. This feature is crucial for safety, especially during emergencies where immediate communication is vital.

Equipped with a built-in GPS receiver, the NAUTICO 3 provides accurate positioning information.

This feature significantly enhances safety by allowing users to notify authorities quickly in emergency situations.

The device is also equipped with a noise-canceling microphone, which filters out background noise for clearer audio quality during conversations. This is particularly beneficial in the noisy environment typical of maritime settings, ensuring that every message is heard clearly.
