IC-M25 EVO Handheld VHF Radio - Black

Floating VHF Radio with a Fresh Design for Marine Adventures. The IC-M25 EVO is an upgraded model of the extremely popular IC-M25 floating VHF marine handheld transceiver. It is designed with an improved grip texture for easier handling and larger buttons for easier operation. Moreover, it has adopted a new power-saving Eco Mode, which will allow approximately 14 hours of operation, which is about a 30% improvement. Furthermore, a USB Type-C™ charging port is standard. The IC-M25 EVO still retains its compact and lightweight body and industry-leading Float'n Flash™ and submersible design.

Float’n Flash™

If the IC-M25 EVO is accidentally dropped into water, it floats, flashes, and emits an alarm, reducing the risk of loss during water activities. Icom has led the marine handheld radio industry with this technology since the introduction of the IC-M33 in 2006.

Enhanced Practical Design

The IC-M25 EVO is built for practicality, featuring an improved side grip texture for a secure, anti-slip hold even with wet hands. Enlarged user-friendly buttons ensure easy operation for channel navigation.

Lightweight & Compact Body

Weighing just 228 g (8.0 oz) and with a slim body depth of 31.2 mm (1.2 in), the IC-M25 EVO is lightweight and easy to carry for extended periods. Its compact body allows for seamless one-handed operation during activities.

Power Saving Eco Mode Realizes 14 Hours of Operation

The IC-M25 EVO offers up to 14 hours* of extended operation with its power-saving Eco Mode. By reducing transmit power to 2.5 W, the operating time increases by approximately 30% compared to the standard 5 W output. This long battery life makes it ideal for your adventures. * Typical operation with Tx (Mid): Rx: Standby=5:5:90

Two Color Selections

The IC-M25 EVO has two color options: Black or Marine Blue. You can choose one that matches your style and adapts to different operating conditions. Whether you prefer the versatility of Black or the high visibility of Marine Blue, these choices ensure both functionality and style on the water.

SB Type-C™ Charging Port

Adopting a USB Type-C™ port, which is commonly used worldwide, it charges the battery pack in approximately three hours. Additionally, charging with portable batteries* (user supplied) provides added convenience and mobility. * USB PD is not supported.

AquaQuake™

The AquaQuake™ draining function prevents audio degradation from a water-logged speaker. This function removes water from the speaker grill by vibrating the speaker cone. Even if you get splashed by rain or waves, you can quickly restore the clear audio with AquaQuake™.

Loud & Clear Audio

FAQs

Please read our FAQs page to find out more.

When will my order ship?

For in-stock items, orders placed by 4:00 PM EST are eligible to ship the same day. If any item in the order is not currently in stock, shipment timing will depend on availability.

What is your return window?

Eligible merchandise may be returned within 30 days from the date of receipt. All returns require a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number before anything is sent back. For the smoothest experience, we ask customers to contact Salina Vita first so we can coordinate the request properly. Returned merchandise must be complete, in its original packaging, and in resalable condition. Items that arrive incomplete, improperly packed, or not suitable for resale may not qualify for return approval.

Are restocking fees possible?

Yes. Approved returns may be subject to a restocking fee of up to 15%. Non-stock items may not be returned. In addition, opened or unsealed DVDs, CDs, and cartography products are non-returnable unless defective. If the product falls into CWR’s excluded media categories—such as opened or unsealed cartography, DVDs, or CDs—it is not returnable unless defective.

If my unit needs warranty service, should I send it back to Salina Vita?

No. Units requiring service, whether under warranty or otherwise, should be returned directly to the appropriate manufacturer, not to Salina Vita. We are always happy to help guide you to the correct manufacturer support path. Absolutely. While the service destination is the manufacturer, we can help you identify the proper support channel and make the process feel more straightforward and well-managed. Units that require service themselves, however, should go directly to the manufacturer under CWR’s policy.

I still have more Questions, can we contact you?

At Salina Vita, we believe premium marine commerce should feel measured, transparent, and reassuring. If you have a question about a shipment, return eligibility, or manufacturer service, contact us before taking the next step and we will guide you with the discretion and clarity your vessel deserves.
