Check some local marinas or boating dealers or online stores....a fair-sized portable air horn should be all you need. Many can be heard for miles.

Answer 2

The loudest thing you can get, is the air horn that comes in a can and can be bought at most boating dealerships or Wal-Mart. They are fairly cheap and do not take up much room in your boat.
