A quick web search reveals marine band HT’s are available from both Icom and Yaesu. FCC “requirements” are here: http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing&id=ship_stations <http://wireless.fcc.gov/services/index.htm?job=licensing&id=ship_stations>
Hope this helps. Sorry there is apparently no HT that transmits on both amateur and marine VHF bands. Many ham HT’s will receive the marine VHF frequencies.
