Yacht and Boat theft incidents are increasing. Tracer 3 lets you know where your vessel is at all times, enabling a response to theft incidents. Tracer 3 has proven itself invaluable for boat recovery and arrests. We invite you to read the recovery report at the bottom of this page. As a result, many insurance companies reduce insurance premiums when yachts, powerboats and sailboats are equipped with Guardian Tracer3. Discounts in premiums can payback the cost of Tracer3 in a matter of months increasing savings while reducing operating costs. Contact us for the names of these insurance companies.
Using field-proven satellite technology Tracer 3 sends the GPS location of your boat to a central server where it can be routed to you in real-time. Tracer is an inexpensive solution that is easy to install and use. It can be configured for more frequent monitoring or for more economical operation. Tracer can be run on AA size batteries or wired to the vessel’s electrical system. An optional ‘I Am Here’ button, that transmits its current location, is also available. |

Pleasure craft owners enjoy the additional benefit of safety and security with remote location tracking of friends and loved ones. Business craft owners also enjoy the same safety benefit and, in some cases, location information can permit better fleet management and utilization.
In the early hours of October 18th, 2007, a center console vessel was
stolen off its boat lift in the Florida Keys. Unknown to the thieves,
this vessel had a Guardian Tracer GPS tracking unit, installed by Miami based, Boat-Track Inc. The vessel’s
owner was notified immediately through the Tracer 3 and
led to alertingthe authorities, who began tracking the vessel. The vessel
sailed to the Western coastline of Cuba on the evening of October 19th. It then sat idle 50 miles off the coast of
Cuba during the day of October 20th; it was probably sleep time.
On the evening of October 20th it sailed to Isla Mujeres just off the coast of Cancun Mexico. It was here that the owner, the insurance company and Mexican authorities recovered the boat as it arrived in Mexico. The track below tells the story.
