What People Are Saying

Testimonials

I was lucky to have the opportunity to use FarSounder’s Argos Forward Looking Sonar for the first time recently. We were taking the ship in the ice-rich waters off Greenland. Having the Argos system installed proved to be a game-changer in safety. I was also very impressed with the level of service provided by The Farsounder Team. They were quick to provide me with the documentation I needed and answered all my questions. Their help made my first go at using the system easy.

—Capt. Clive Shute, Ice Pilot

“Such a great bit of gear! I used it on a 162m yacht fitted with a FarSounder in 2006. Having the FarSounder fitted onboard gave our navigating officers / bridge team the confidence and edge to explore the Arabian gulf region which included the new man-made coastal developments lying off the UAE coast.”

— Capt. Vaughan Poynter, (then) 2nd officer

“I am very impressed! We have been using it in Cuba, Mexico and Belize and it has been very useful. We have anchored today on the edge of a reef wall. It has been extremely useful in helping us to find a suitable place in which to anchor and I am really pleased we fitted it.”

— Captain of a 97 meter yacht

“The system clearly showed a shoreline, which was incorrectly shown on the chart, and helped avoid a grounding. It also showed growlers and bergy bits when traveling up the fjords. I will not travel to areas of ice again without the FarSounder systems.”

— Captain Walter Wetmore

“The FarSounder unit works well and has been extremely useful. We operate on the Volga River with maximum depths of 25' we can see the Buoys on the sounder screen as well as the shallows, and I now have the sounder set on my main screen.”

— Captain Chris Evans

“I believe in the product and the huge safety advantages it brings to navigation in areas known and unknown.”

— Captain Anthony Hodgson

“We are finding it useful especially when you are going into a poorly charted anchorage and the safest way out of a tricky anchorage is always to follow the same track out that you came in on. Local History Mapping helps a great deal with that.”

— Captain Dag Saevik, The World
