POCHON SA is exclusive importer for France Since 2004, VHFs from the American brand COBRA. Well-known in the USA for over 50 years in the field of CB and radar detectors, the brand was completely unknown in 2004 in the European and French marine electronics community.
The first fixed or portable VHF (COBRA H300/H400 ) imported by POCHON were already immersion-proof as standard, whereas IPX7 waterproofing was a relatively expensive option with our competitors. Another advantage was that the accessories that are usually optional were also supplied as standard with the device (bracket, 220v and 12v charger, battery box, etc.). Finally, a low-price policy pursued both by the manufacturer and by our company did the rest, and a large number of sailing clubs, professionals and yachtsmen are equipping themselves with our VHFs.
In 2010 COBRA almost 2 years ahead of its competitors has launched the 1st Bluetooth-equipped VHF, the COBRA H475. This portable VHF takes over from your mobile phone, which stays dry inside the boat. It was also one of the first floating VHFs, with a transmit power of 6 Watts. The latest version, the H600, is equipped with an integrated GPS, active DSC function in the event of an emergency, MOB function, automatic flashing light and Lithium Ion battery for extended autonomy. The H150 VHF announced for 2019 will be ultra-compact, IPX7 waterproof and floating.

With VESPERMARINE a New Zealand manufacturer, POCHON SA imports a very complete range of AIS. These devices represent an essential element of safety and can save your life. The all-new SmartAIS are equipped with proactive alerts in the event of a risk of collision, if your anchor slips, or if one of your crew has fallen overboard.

The transponder (transmitter/receiver) is available with its own dedicated screen, or in the form of a black box compatible with plotters, but also with today's Smartphones or Tablet PCs thanks to Wi-Fi. With Nmea 2000, you can control your AIS on your peripherals using VESPER applications. It is possible for racers, racers or fishermen to activate the silent mode so as not to be seen. Only reception mode works.
