How do boats talk?

Boats communicate using marine radio, which operates on specific channels for different purposes, like distress calls or general chat. It's crucial for safety at sea. The story mentions Zuckerberg's yacht was on a 'different radio channel' and only reviewed the broadcast later, highlighting how vital being on the correct channel is for responding to emergencies.
