Tracking adventurers and yacht races

For 30 years, Argos has been the gold standard for adventurers and yacht racers, helping them to face the most extreme environments on the planet while providing a lifeline to dry land. 

Polar explorers never leave without their light, robust and weatherproof Argos transmitter, which keeps track of them 24/7 and supports pre-coded messages (“All good”, “Rescue me”, etc.). Argos is also the preferred solution for ocean yacht racing, with each boat carrying its own transmitter so that the race organizers can update positions, generate maps for the public and keep skippers safe at sea. The Route du Rhum, the Jacques Vabre transatlantic race, the Vendée Globe around-the-world race, the Volvo Race and the Afflelou Le Figaro single-handed race all rely on Argos.
