Tracking and monitoring marine vessels is essential for vessel and yacht owners. Our water-resistant GPS trackers supported by the Iridium network connectivity are the go-to companion for mitigating risk and loss.
Seamless switching to the robust Iridium satellite network ONLY when vessels are operating outside of cellular coverage, provides continuous monitoring capabilities and peace of mind for yacht owners, fleet managers, operators, and customers at the lowest price point for global coverage.
Continuous Global GPS Tracking of Marine Vessels
- The GPS Tracking Device uses GNSS positioning technologies to provide accurate, real-time tracking of a vessel regardless of whether it is within the range of a GSM network. Monitor the entire fleet's live location and voyage data from the Btracking platform on your phone or desktop.
- Static Navigation Mode filters out track jumps when the vessel is stationary, reducing the possibility of inaccurate position detection and/or confusion.
- When the GSM cell network is unavailable the tracker, connected to the Iridium Edge accessory via an RS232 port, transmits data via the Iridium satellite network. Using the narrowband Iridium Short Burst Data® (SBD®) protocol, it is a cost-efficient packet-based messaging service for fleets operating in remote areas without cellular coverage.
- Geofencing sets virtual boundaries around permitted areas. If the vessel crosses these boundaries, unauthorised movement alerts are triggered, facilitating immediate response to potential security breaches. This feature also helps ensure compliance by notifying owners if the vessel deviates from approved routes.
- Jamming and Unplug Detection with Immobilizer alerts and lets you take preventative action against theft by blocking the vessel starter
- Optional Panic Button If the GSM network is unavailable, it activates the Iridium Edge satellite communications modem. It will send the signal, along with precise coordinates from the tracker to a designated receiver. Coastal emergency services can save valuable time by knowing the exact location of an event and the time the signal was sent.
- Continuous monitoring of the vessel battery levels helps detect potential power-related faults and prevent unexpected outages. Monitor fuel levels and providing alerts in the event of unusual consumption or unauthorized access to fuel tanks.
- Protect On-Board Assets Monitor equipment, jet skis, tenders, and inflatable boats with additional GPS trackers and/or wireless beacons.

Marine GPS Tracking & Boat Monitoring FAQs
How does Btracking’s marine GPS tracking system work in remote areas?
Btracking ensures global coverage by combining GNSS positioning with the Iridium satellite network. When a vessel moves out of cellular range, the system automatically switches to Iridium’s Short Burst Data protocol, providing uninterrupted real-time tracking anywhere in the world—even across oceans or polar regions.
Can I monitor my boat in real time while docked or underway?
Our boat GPS tracker displays live GPS location, movement history, and voyage data whether the vessel is in motion or stationary. Static Navigation Mode prevents false movement readings while docked, ensuring accuracy at all times.
What theft prevention features are included with the tracking device for boats?
Btracking provides geofence alerts for unauthorized movement, jamming and unplug detection, and optional immobilizer integration to block engine start attempts. These tools help you take immediate action in case of potential theft or tampering.
What is the panic button and how does it improve safety?
The optional panic button triggers an emergency alert using the Iridium satellite modem when GSM is unavailable. It transmits the vessel’s exact coordinates and timestamp to designated responders, enabling a faster and more accurate emergency response.
Can I track fuel levels and onboard equipment?
The system monitors battery and fuel levels, alerts you to abnormal usage or access, and allows you to track onboard assets like jet skis, tenders, and inflatables using additional GPS units or wireless BLE beacons.
