The value of the marine GPS tracking technology in reducing risks for marinas and rental companies cannot be overestimated. Companies like Rastrac help these industries to avoid higher insurance costs and at the same time improve security and operational efficiency.
“Insurance agents are more prone to supply the insured person for marina reduced insurance costs that can use GPS tracking, as this can reduce their risk as a whole,” said Michael Wells, Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer for Rastrac, who is based in Texas and has provided GPS tracking solutions for companies for more than 30 years. “The security of security is carried out by checking the use of watercraft and to provide visual and audible warnings when water vehicles are used in dangerous areas.”

Marinas with boat rental company can use GPS tracking like Rastrac to track incoming and outgoing rental boats
With this marine GPS tracking, users can prevent the unauthorized use of their ships by determining geofenzen and surveillance activities. Immediate warnings for dangerous areas, excessive speed or potential theft; Review of the responsible company to demonstrate compliance with the security guidelines; And quickly stolen or lost water vehicles that reduce demands and downtimes.
The technology informs users about the health of watercraft batteries and informs them when water vehicles return to the dock so that Marina's employees can welcome the tenants in good time. It can also help reduce propeller damage by checking the use of watercraft, keeping ships away from dangerous areas and minimizing the income.
“If watercraft leave a operating area, Rastrac can notify Rastrac recipients via text, email or both at the same time and immediately when an area is left. Rastrac receives frequent updates of watercraft while moving so that the current location can be monitored in real time after the theft,” said Wells. “And the insurers know that the GPS persecution ensures that their insured people know how their assets are operated.”
Boat rental protection
Marinas often use GPS tracking solutions for boat rentals. Billauspohl, General Manager of AC VIP Marina in Texas, uses Rastrac technology for the facility's boat rental business, which has contributed to protecting boats, boaters and the marina.
Rastrac can help a marina immediately to find a boat that is in need or disabled.
“When we were addressed for the first time with the concept of GPS persecution, I very much hesitated that I asked. I thought it was just someone else who tried to sell us a supplement for which we would only pay. After some research, we signed up with Rastrac,” said Tausspohl. “Rastrac helped us with time management and cost management. Since the installation of the tracking devices, we have been able to pursue incoming and outgoing rental boats to help our customers with their rentals. It sends us valuable information about the extent to which the boat is on the way or how quickly it is moving.
One of the most important features of the tracking system, said Gauspohl, is that it helps the marina to find a boat immediately that is disabled or disabled.
“Our lake is very large and there are many different bays in which boats can be tied together. Tracking enables us to send an answer to all problems we have,” said a thousand. “We mention that we are following the boats to our customers, and we remind you that this should not follow your trip, but soothed that we can find them if they have a problem.”
Another advantage of the GPS persecution is that the time that an engine runs can be calculated and maintenance maintenance and possibly eliminated costly costs. There is also a recording that can be used in the resale of boats.
“One thing that was made very simple for us was the ability of our rental facilities to install and remove these devices without special tools or experience,” said Tauspohl. “We have no great costs when using repair workshops to achieve this.”
The tracker even sends a signal if a boat moves and should not be or if the company's geofeces are set up and a boat crosses the pre -approved borders.
“We saw an increase in the damage that we could collect by checking the traces that have taken the boats. Damage can be calculated in accordance with the schedule shown in the rental agreement. An image is more than a thousand words and dollars,” said Gauspohl. “If I had the opportunity to do it again, I would have decided to pursue much earlier than we do. It is really a tool that could pay for itself and even save a life.”
