All boats of this type tend to use a specific channel ..... problem is
to find it, as they frequently don't use boat names or call signs so

Don't most marine radios have a "scan" feature, popping up any
conversation that comes along?

There are not that many marine radio channels.

Most any scanner should get that band, and be able to scan it. (lock
out the weather channels, though).

Happy trails,
