Spanish language, very informal chatter, both stations have the tell tale "engine noise in background" of fishing boat comms.  The marine engine noise on one of the two stations is considerably louder but both are very much there. 

SIO 444 or so, good signals. 
U.S. East Coast, various HF/VHF/UHF radios/transceivers/scanners/receivers - land mobile system operator - focus on VHF/UHF and 11m
