Is there such a thing as a air/marine band vhf handheld, that also does 2

A commercial VHF HT should be able to cover
the marine and 2 meter part OK, but air band
stuff is AM so that would be a problem.
I don't know of anything that does both
AM & FM in a transceiver.


There was a combined AM/FM modification for the Gonset Communicator. And
the Gonset used to be type-accepted for aircraft band although under the
new spacing it may not be. It's _kind_ of handheld. Not even a little bit
waterproof.
