Welcome: You maybe here because you are concerned with what happens on your boat when you go home after a days sailing? Maybe, it is because your insurance company has requested you fit a professional GPS tracker, or because your vessel spends most of its time on a trailer or a swinging mooring with no shore power? But most likely it simply because you want to know where your vessel is 24/7, and to be able to instantly see where it has has been during the last few months, this is especially true if it is out on charter, or moored a long, long way from home.

Above are the key points most mariners are interested in. Elsewhere you can read about how 'The Bosses' have been around GPS and Data Transmission for some thirty plus years (mostly in the emergency services sector) and how some fifteen years ago they formed 'Boat Track' to stop fellow 'Weekend Sailors' getting 'ripped off'. You will also find technical details about our equipment, if that is your thing!
If you are one of those people who thinks all modern marine trackers are the same, you are not wrong! Recent ones (those in the modern quad band 850/900/1800/1900) certainly yes, but that’s not the point, the key thing is - how clever is the software loaded on to them and is it designed for the special requirements of sailors? Ours trackers certainly are.
Most importantly you will find a complete breakdown of all our charges and the reasons why we are a reliable alternative to
companies that stop trading just after you pay a year up front (we ask for just a month and then set up monthly Standing Orders that you can cancel after the first month). If anything is not clear, or you cannot find exactly what it is you want, give us a call on
03333 44 76 44 or if you are outside the UK +44 3333 44 76 44

Important: Lastly, if you really cannot afford one of our systems then buy a couple of bottles of wine and enjoy them instead! Please don’t be a mug and waste it on one of the many cheap and inferior system advertised (especially on-line), that Microsoft, or Google will close down after a few weeks because the seller did not obtain a license for the maps, or where the system stops reporting because you have used up the months airtime credit the seller purchased a few days before you brought the unit.
