For my 2 cents, I use VHF/UHF in a waterproof bag.. 9.99$ Range in a yak to a yak 1/2mile reliable MAX Range to Coast guard 1-15 miles depending on where their tower is!!! These Freqs 450 and 156 MHz are line-o-sight fom an object 24 - 36 inches above water, what with wave action and terrain (islands etc) you might raise a boat with an elevated antennae at 5 miles but don't bet your life on it!
