Geofences, sensors and automated alerts

FOR BOAT RENTAL AND CHARTER OPERATIONS

More available boats. Fewer unplanned checks.

In boat rental operations, a late return, unexpected service requirement or pre-handover issue can affect the next booking. GPS Marine gives the operations team clearer fleet visibility without visiting every vessel.

Fleet ready for handover

Location, route history, stops and selected statuses help the team check a vessel's return and availability before the next rental.

Faster response to events

Geofences and connected sensors can automatically send push and/or SMS alerts after a registered event, depending on the package and configuration.

Maintenance between rentals

Engine hours, available fault codes and other NMEA 2000 data can help plan servicing and reduce unnecessary visits to a vessel.

WEB AND MOBILE BOAT MONITORING

From GPS and NMEA 2000 to a complete rental fleet view

GPS Marine combines GPS vessel tracking, remote boat monitoring, available marine telemetry and operational alerts for boat rental and charter fleets. Every configuration is tailored to the vessel, its installed electronics and the data the team actually needs.

  1. 1

    GPS device and NMEA 2000

    A GPS device, compatible NMEA 2000 network and selected sensors are connected according to the vessel configuration.

  2. 2

    Data transfer and processing

    Locations, events and available telemetry are processed in a secure operational system.

  3. 3

    A clear view for your team

    The web and mobile GPS boat tracking app gives authorised users access to the fleet, route history, events and available statuses.

NMEA 2000 TELEMETRY FOR CHARTER OPERATIONS

Engine, fuel and power data available to the shoreside team

NMEA 2000 is an onboard data network connecting compatible engines, instruments and sensors. GPS Marine can bring available data into a remote fleet view so rental and charter teams can plan handovers, servicing and responses to anomalies more effectively.

Engine, fuel and power data available to the shoreside team Data flow from the vessel NMEA 2000 network to a remote charter fleet view NMEA 2000 2450 RPM 12.7 V 68 % 18 kn

Engine and operating hours

RPM, operating hours, temperature, oil pressure and available fault codes for better service planning.

Fuel and tanks

Level, consumption and other data made available by the compatible network.

Power and sensors

Battery voltage, connected power sources, bilge status and additional inputs.

Navigation and environment

Supported navigation and environmental data when exposed by the vessel configuration.

Examples of supported NMEA 2000 ecosystems

  • Mercury Marine
  • Yamaha Marine
  • Suzuki Marine
  • Honda Marine
  • Tohatsu

Available data depends on the model, model year, installed gateway and supported NMEA 2000 messages. We verify compatibility before quotation and installation.

NMEA 2000 IN DAY-TO-DAY CHARTER OPERATIONS

From onboard data to a shoreside decision

The value of NMEA 2000 telemetry is not simply having more data. It is giving the responsible team earlier visibility of an available anomaly so a check can be arranged before the boat goes out on its next rental.

Before handover

Check available power, fuel and active alert data before the guest or crew arrives.

During the rental

Connect location, operating hours and available engine status with the context the operations team needs when a call comes in from the vessel.

After return

Compare operating hours, available consumption and fault codes, then direct servicing towards vessels that require inspection.

MONITORING BETWEEN RENTALS AND THROUGHOUT THE SEASON

Identify vessel movement, water, power loss and other risks sooner

Combine GPS boat and vessel tracking, geofences, automated alerts and selected sensors around the way your boat rental or charter fleet operates.

Vessel movement and geofences

If the device registers movement away from the berth or entry into or exit from a defined zone, the system can send a configured alert.

Bilge pump and water level

A connected input or sensor can report bilge pump activity, repeated activation or a detected water level, depending on the installation.

Battery and shore power

Monitor available voltage and power-loss data so the team can arrange an inspection at the berth sooner.

Engine, tender and detached equipment

Autonomous battery-powered trackers can monitor outboard engines, tenders and other assets independently of the vessel's main power supply.

Doors, motion and additional inputs

Additional sensors can register opening, movement or another defined event when installed and configured correctly.

Automated push and SMS alerts

The system can automatically send configured alerts 24/7 after a registered event; the channel and delivery depend on the package, device and network.

Selected devices are available with IP67 or IP68 protection and an expected battery life of 3–5 years. The exact specification depends on the model, reporting interval, network, conditions and use.

GPS monitoring and alerts can help prevent or reduce the consequences of theft, water ingress and other incidents, but they do not guarantee that an incident will not occur.

GPS DEVICES AND CONNECTIVITY

A marine GPS device selected for the vessel, operating profile and available network

There is no single configuration for every vessel. The GPS device, enclosure protection, power source and mobile network are selected around the required reporting frequency, cruising area and installation method.

IP67 and IP68 options

Selected GPS devices are available with IP67 or IP68 protection. The exact rating and suitability for the installation location are confirmed against the technical data sheet for the specific model.

4G mobile connectivity

Configurations that require more frequent data exchange can use devices with 4G/LTE connectivity, depending on the model, tariff, coverage and roaming.

LTE-M and NB-IoT

Low-power mobile networks such as LTE-M and NB-IoT can suit selected sensors and trackers where low energy use and intermittent reporting matter. Availability is checked by market and operator.

Autonomous battery trackers

Selected models have an expected battery life of 3–5 years, depending on the reporting interval, network, temperature, conditions and use.

The GPS device, antenna, sensors, communication technology and reporting interval are selected as one configuration. 4G, LTE-M and NB-IoT availability is not the same in every marina, country or roaming zone.

VIDEO TELEMATICS FOR BUSINESS FLEETS

A boat camera providing visual context for GPS and sensor events

Selected cameras can supplement location, time and alert data with a photograph, short clip or remote view. Available functionality depends on the camera, device, mobile connection, tariff and vessel configuration.

Event verification

A photograph or short clip can help verify what occurred around a movement alert, geofence exit or another configured event.

Faster assessment and response

The operations team gains additional context before contacting the user, dispatching service staff or arranging an inspection at the marina.

Fleet documentation

Controlled access to relevant footage can support the review of damage, a disputed event or a recurring operational issue.

Video telematics requires a clearly defined purpose, lawful basis, notice to individuals, restricted access and a defined retention period. Cameras must not be installed in spaces where crew or guests reasonably expect privacy.

A SOLUTION FOR MARINE BUSINESS USERS

From charter fleet operations to installation in a new vessel

GPS Marine is primarily a B2B solution for boat rental companies and charter fleets, while configurations can also support companies that build, equip, service or manage vessels.

Boat rental and charter fleets

A unified view of location, use and available status across multiple vessels supports handovers, inspection scheduling, service planning and reduced unplanned downtime.

Boat builders and system integrators

The GPS, NMEA 2000 and sensor configuration can be planned while a new vessel is being equipped so devices, power and available data are aligned before delivery.

Service, installation and resale partners

Marine electricians and service companies can discuss cooperation covering vessel assessment, installation, maintenance and the sale of GPS Marine solutions to their business customers.

Marinas and service centres

Visibility of available alerts and status can support inspections at the berth and coordination of work with the owner or fleet operator.

The cooperation model, sales territory, resale terms and technical responsibilities are confirmed in a separate agreement.
