Personal Locator Beacons

Personal locator beacons (PLBs) are compact, battery-powered distress devices that transmit your GPS coordinates to search and rescue satellites the moment you activate them — no subscription required, no cellular signal needed. They're built as a last-resort safety tool for offshore anglers, commercial fishermen, and recreational boaters operating in the Pacific Northwest's remote coastal waters, straits, and open ocean where help can be hours away.

Elliott's carries PLBs from ACR and Ocean Signal, two of the most trusted names in maritime safety, covering registered single-use beacons suited for solo salmon trips, charter runs, and extended bluewater passages alike.
