when I had a boat several years ag0)

Marine handheld radios operate on VHF and are limited to line-of-sight
communications--perhaps you might get 3-5 miles on open water from a 5 watt
set,
less on land. It is illegal to use Marine radios for land communications.

You might want to consider Marine radios. You can buy hand held units for
around $100 a pop and are not restricted by line of sight.
