Whether you're running offshore, racing inshore, or working a commercial vessel, this radio gives you the communication tools and safety features to stay connected and be found when it matters most.
The built-in Bluetooth pairs with the Standard Horizon SSMBT20 Bluetooth Wireless Headset and compatible aftermarket headsets for hands-free operation — keeping your hands on the helm and your voice on the radio. Available in Black (HX891BTBK) and Navy Blue (HX891BTNV).

Parts Desk Insights
Best Use Case: The HX891BTBK is the right choice for mariners who want a single handheld that covers communication, navigation, and safety without carrying separate devices. The GPS and DSC combination is particularly valuable for solo sailors and offshore crews — in an emergency, a single button press transmits your exact position to the Coast Guard and nearby vessels. The Bluetooth feature makes it a strong pick for helm operators who want to monitor the radio without holding it.
Battery Note: The included 1800mAh SBR13LI battery covers most day-use scenarios. For extended offshore passages or multi-day trips, consider adding the SBR45LI High Capacity Battery or the FBA40 Alkaline Tray as a backup when charging isn't available.
