There are two different things.
Boaters use VHF radios which would cost you several hundred dollars for two of them.
I have one since I am an off shore kayak paddler. I can contact the coast guard, and any one else that has a VHF and also use it to monitor the NOOA weather which I do on a daily basis.
My VHF is an ICOM and is an excellent one
The other thing is walkie talkies which we also have. A pair of decent ones is about sixty dollars.
We use them every time I back up the trailer, and it eliminates all kinds of yelling, etc
