Wireless Headsets and Headphone for Boaters
Wireless Headsets = Less Stress
Dock, lock, anchor, or work up the mast with calm, clear communication. These marine headsets make every maneuver easier—no more yelling, missed cues, or guessing at hand signals.
You’ll be able to talk through each step, make decisions together, and handle your boat with confidence. There's a reason they're referred to as "Marriage Savers!"
All headsets and accessories ship directly from our trusted partner, Cruising Solutions. Shipping rates and timing may differ from The Boat Galley’s other products.
Why Boaters Love These
Onboard Benefits
- No shouting or guessing hand signals — stay calm and discuss maneuvers in real time
- Ideal for anchoring, docking, locks, or going up the mast
- Hands-free, wireless, and voice-activated — talk naturally without pushing buttons
- Clear conversations with Advanced Noise Control to limit wind and background noise
Designed for Life Aboard
- Comfortable, lightweight, behind-the-neck design — won't fall off when you look down and works with hats and glasses
- No belt pack or antenna to snag or get in the way
- Water-resistant for all-weather use (not submersible)
- Adjustable volume for noisy or quiet situations
- Expandable — link up to 4 headsets with additional units
- Reliable Bluetooth connection — no interference from other devices on board
- Long battery life: 10 hours talk time / 7 days standby, charges in about 1.5 hours
- Works up to 900 meters (line of sight) — can transmit through a hull or cabin, but range is reduced
When we started cruising, our boat came with cheap toy headsets that never stayed charged and fell off if we looked down. Hand signals didn’t work—we wanted to talk about where we were anchoring, not just wave arms. Yelling across the boat led to miscommunication, frustration, and general unpleasantness.
Getting a pair of GOOD headsets was a total game-changer. We can talk calmly about decisions, warn each other if something goes wrong (like the time the engine overheated as we were pulling up the anchor), and coordinate when one of us is up the mast. I consider them essential equipment for any cruising couple.

Better Communication Makes For Better Boating
"These headsets take the stress out of daily boat handling. Whether it’s docking in a crosswind, pulling up anchor as the wind builds on a lee shore, or squeezing through a busy lock, we can just talk it through calmly. No shouting, no second-guessing — we both know what the other is seeing and doing, which keeps us in control." - Carolyn, The Boat Galley founder
Keep Your Headsets in Top Shape
Replacement foam covers and a durable storage case help protect, refresh, and extend the life of your 2Talk or SPH10 headsets. Note: case included with 2-packs, no need to buy separately.
