The company states that the solution has been designed for boat owners, fleet operators and marine businesses, as they offer accuracy, security and peace of mind for maritime operations.

LoneStar Tracking highlights that in an era where theft prevention and asset management are crucial, its boat GPS trackers provide real-time location updates, geofencing capabilities and remote monitoring, to ensure vessel safety, regardless of whether it is anchored or navigating.

“Simple, reliable and effective”

Mark Gester, Co-Founder, LoneStar Tracking stated: “Our mission has always been to provide simple, reliable and effective tracking solutions.

“We designed our boat GPS trackers with durability and ease of use in mind, ensuring they meet the rigorous demands of the marine environment,” Gester added.

Marine tracking

LoneStar Tracking’s boat GPS trackers utilise LTE-M and NB-IoT networks, allowing for seamless connectivity even in remote coastal areas, the company notes.

With satellite-based GPS positioning and 24/7 monitoring, users can track their vessels from anywhere in the world using a smartphone, tablet or computer.

The company states that marine theft continues to be a growing concern across the US with boats and trailers frequently targeted by thieves, with traditional security systems failing to recover stolen property or alert owners in sufficient time.

LoneStar Tracking states that it solves this problem with real-time alerts, location history and instant notifications when a vessel moves outside a designated area.

Key features

According to the company, the key features of LoneStar Tracking’s boat GPS trackers include:

• Real-time GPS location updates – Monitor your boat’s position in real-time with location updates as often as every 60 seconds
• Geofencing and movement alerts – Set custom geofences to receive alerts if your boat moves from its designated dock or marina
• Battery-powered options – No hardwiring required. Some models offer up to five years of battery life on a single charge
• Waterproof and weather-resistant designs – Designed for harsh marine conditions, all trackers are IP67 rated or higher
• No contracts, transparent pricing – LoneStar Tracking offers monthly service with no long-term commitment and no hidden fees

“Gave us confidence”

Stephanie Ramirez, a customer from Florida commented: “Our boat GPS tracker gave us peace of mind during hurricane season.

“We could monitor our sailboat from hundreds of miles away and the alerts gave us confidence that it hadn’t moved from the marina,” Ramirez concluded.

The platform and customer support

LoneStar Tracking offers an intuitive tracking platform compatible with iOS, Android and desktop devices. The interface allows users to view multiple boats on one dashboard, check speed and travel history, and customise alerts based on specific parameters.

The company is also known for its responsive customer service team, who provide expert guidance during installation, configuration and troubleshooting.

“Accessible to everyone”

Gester later explained: “Our goal is to make marine tracking accessible to everyone. We back every product with US-based support and a satisfaction guarantee.”
