Most consumer GPS trackers tell you where your boat went after it is gone. Vectra tells you the second something is wrong — while you can still do something about it.
Built for the Water
Water-resistant housing rated for marine environments. Survives salt spray, rain, and engine compartment heat.
Tamper & Wire-Cut Alerts
Get an instant push notification the moment power is cut, the device is moved, or someone tampers with the install. Thieves do not get a head start.
Real-Time Location
4G LTE tracking with sub-15-second updates and 3+ years of location history. Pull up the live map from any phone or laptop.
Geofences & Speed Alerts
Draw a boundary around the marina, the bay, or any zone you want. Get pinged the moment your boat crosses out — or exceeds a set speed.
Share with Police in One Tap
When the alarm trips, send marine police or the Coast Guard a live tracking link. No account needed on their side, and the link expires on its own.
Hidden Install
Compact 3-wire install hides under the dash, behind a panel, or inside a console. Wires straight to 12V — no batteries to swap.
Capsize & Impact Alerts
Built-in G-sensor alerts you the moment a boat grounds, hits a dock or capsizes — with the exact position. Five sensitivity levels so waves do not page you.

Frequently asked questions
How does the tamper / wire-cut alert work?
The tracker monitors its own power supply and a built-in motion sensor. The instant external 12V power is cut, or the device is moved while the boat is "off," you get a push notification and email — and the unit switches to internal-battery backup tracking automatically.
How fast will I get a location update if my boat is stolen?
Live tracking sends a position every 15 seconds while the boat is in motion. From the app you can create a live share link and send it to the Coast Guard or marine police — they see the boat moving on a map without needing an account, and the link expires on its own.
What does it cost to run?
The device is $89.99 one-time (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay available). Service is FREE for the first 122 days, then $59.94/year ($4.99/mo billed annually), or $9.99/month with no contract. No installation fee. Cancel anytime during the trial.
Will it alert me if my boat capsizes or hits something?
Yes. A built-in G-sensor (accelerometer) watches every hard hit. Collision-level impacts (grounding, a dock strike, a boat-on-boat hit) send an instant push and email alert, with 5 sensitivity levels so wave slam on a rough day does not page you, set per account or per boat. The same sensor detects rollover and capsize. Set a tilt threshold between 0.5 g and 8.0 g and Vectra sends a critical push and email alert with the boat's position the moment it is exceeded.
Can I connect my boat tracker to ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. Vectra runs a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at https://api.vectragps.com/mcp, so ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and any other MCP client can read your fleet in plain language — "where is Pontoon 22?", "what alerted overnight?" — using your own API key. No extra fee, no separate integration contract.
Do I need to install it myself?
Most boat owners do — it is three wires (12V+, ground, ignition) and takes about 10 minutes. Adding the optional remote cut-off relay brings it to roughly 20 minutes. Every order includes a wiring diagram and a video walkthrough, and our team will screen-share while you do it.
Will it drain my battery?
No. The unit draws minimal current and includes built-in deep-discharge protection — it shuts itself down before the boat battery drops below safe start voltage.
What happens if I sell the boat?
Transfer it to the new owner in a click, or move it to your next boat — we can re-pair the device to a new account at any time, no charge.
Stop hoping it doesn't happen to your boat.
Get the tracker, install it under the helm, and sleep easier. 4 months of service is on us. Cancel any time before month 5 if it isn't for you.
