While GPS works nearly everywhere, there's no simple affordable system to transmit your location.

Oceans are huge, and even sattelite transmitters don't cover everything. Example:

Even if something like that worked perfectly, oceans are extremely dangerous. A huge wave can destroy even a large sailboat in seconds.
