Cruiser's Maritime Mobile Radio Nets
Marine radio nets are set up and run by "controllers" all over the world (Indian Ocean, Atlantic, Mediterranean, Pacific, etc.) to handle and co-ordinate this traffic from vessels sailing the oceans. It is important for cruising yachts to know these radio net frequencies and times so as to pass message traffic, log positions, receive weather information, etc.

Marine Nets
This is a useful selection of Ham Radio Nets extracted from the listings in the Marine Electrical & Electronics Bible. Since the list is old the frequencies and services are in the process of being personally checked. Cross-checks with internet sources are unreliable.
If you are not a licensed operator, invest in a receiver only and listen in to the nets, the information can be invaluable. Alternatively for casual listening you can use an internet streaming ham radio tuner online. What a cool idea!
Times in UTC followed by frequency in MHz and Net Name. Mode used is generally Upper Sideband (USB) above 7MHz and Lower Sideband (LSB) below 7MHz. Personally verified operational networks will be commented and marked in RED.
