In the United States, the safety and distress calling frequency for boats is primarily set at VHF Channel 16 (156.800 MHz). This channel is used for emergency communications, including distress calls and safety announcements. Boat operators are required to monitor this frequency when underway, as it is the primary channel for distress signaling and coordination with the Coast Guard and other vessels in case of emergencies.
