Eartec marine headsets are wireless, hands-free communication systems designed specifically for boating environments. Often referred to in the boating community as “Marriage Savers,” these headsets allow crew members to communicate clearly without shouting during high-stress maneuvers like docking, mooring, and sports fishing.

Eartec offers two primary wireless series tailored to different crew sizes and marine applications:

• UltraLITE-HD Headsets: Engineered for smaller boat crews, supporting communication for up to 5 users simultaneously without a base station.

• PRO16 Headsets: Built for larger teams and professional “Battlewagon” sportfishing crews, expanding simultaneous communication to up to 16 users.

They are nicknamed “Marriage Savers” because they eliminate the need to yell across the deck or over engine noise during docking and mooring. The full-duplex wireless technology allows a captain and mate to speak concurrently in normal conversational tones, drastically reducing stress and miscommunication.

The UltraLITE-HD series features all-in-one programming where the transceiver is built directly inside the earcups. This eliminates the need for wires or beltpacks, allowing total freedom of movement on deck. For massive crews, the PRO16 series or specialized E-Pak miniature beltpacks can be integrated to scale up the network.

Yes. Eartec headsets—specifically the PRO16 series—are widely used by tournament captains and sportfishing crews to coordinate fast-paced actions smoothly, such as backing down on a fish or landing heavy game like Mako sharks and swordfish.
