Managing a marina or a watercraft rental fleet comes with unique challenges—keeping track of high-value assets, ensuring customer compliance, maintaining safety, and preventing theft or misuse. Fortunately, modern GPS tracking technologies like geofencing are revolutionizing how marinas, boat clubs and rental companies operate. And with Rastrac Marine Vision, implementing this powerful feature has never been easier.
Geofencing is a virtual boundary defined by GPS coordinates. When a tracked asset—like a jet ski, boat, or pontoon—enters or exits this zone, the system can trigger real-time alerts, automate reports, or even initiate security protocols.
Unauthorized movement of a boat or jet ski can be immediately detected. Geofencing alerts notify managers if a watercraft leaves a designated area—whether it’s a protected cove, a harbor, or the marina’s rental zone—helping prevent theft or loss.
For rentals, setting geofences around safe, permitted riding zones ensures customers don’t venture into dangerous or restricted waters. You can notify staff the moment a guest crosses a boundary, enabling quick intervention and improving overall safety compliance.
Geofencing can streamline operations by triggering automated check-in/out logs, usage reports, and billing alerts. For example, if a watercraft enters or exits the marina, it can log the time and distance traveled without manual tracking.
By monitoring geofence activity, managers gain insights into usage trends—like which areas are most visited or how often watercraft are used. This data helps optimize fleet scheduling, maintenance, and staffing.
