Sena Launches Nautitalk Open: Bone Conduction Communication for Maximum Awareness on the Water

June 12, 2026

IRVING, Texas – June 12, 2026 – Sena Technologies, Inc., a global leader in marine and outdoor communication solutions, today announced the availability of the Nautitalk Open, an innovative bone conduction communication headset engineered to deliver crystal-clear crew communication while maintaining complete awareness of the surrounding marine environment.

Designed specifically for sailors and marine professionals, the Nautitalk Open combines Sena’s advanced Mesh Intercom™ technology with an open-ear bone conduction design, allowing users to communicate hands-free without obstructing their hearing. Whether coordinating maneuvers, navigating busy waterways, or managing onboard operations, crews can stay connected while remaining fully aware of wind, waves, equipment, and fellow crew members.

Open-Ear Communication Without Compromise

Unlike traditional headsets that cover or occupy the ears, the Nautitalk Open utilizes bone conduction technology to transmit audio through the cheekbones, leaving the ears completely open to ambient sounds. This unique lightweight design enhances situational awareness while providing reliable, full-duplex communication for demanding marine environments.

Powered by Sena’s Mesh Intercom 3.0 platform, the Nautitalk Open enables seamless group communication without the need for push-to-talk buttons, external radios, or communication licenses. Crew members can focus on the task at hand while staying connected across the vessel.

“The Nautitalk Open represents the next evolution of marine crew communication,” said Jack Woo, Chief Business Development Officer at Sena Technologies, Inc. “By combining our proven Mesh Intercom technology with an open-ear bone conduction platform, we’ve created a communication solution that allows crews to remain fully connected without sacrificing awareness of their surroundings. For sailors and marine professionals, that awareness can make all the difference.”

Key Features of the Nautitalk Open:

  • Open-Ear Bone Conduction Audio: Delivers clear communication while keeping ears open to environmental sounds and onboard activity.
  • Mesh Intercom 3.0: Supports virtually limitless users across six Open Mesh channels with reliable full-duplex communication.
  • Hands-Free Crew Communication: Eliminates the need for push-to-talk operation, enabling natural conversations while working.
  • IPX5-Rated Design: 72-Hour saltwater spray test proves resistance against salt-air corrosion, while UV-resistant materials prevent degradation under intense sun.
  • Advanced Noise Control™: Reduces the impact of wind and environmental noise to ensure voice clarity in challenging marine conditions.
  • Lightweight Open-Ear Design: Provides all-day comfort for sailors, race crews, and marine professionals.
  • SENA Marine App Compatibility: Enables easy device setup, configuration, and Over-the-Air firmware updates.

From competitive sailing teams to marina personnel and commercial marine operators, the Nautitalk Open provides a communication solution that prioritizes both connectivity and awareness. By keeping users connected without isolating them from their environment, the headset helps improve coordination, efficiency, and safety on the water.
