What is important for GPS tracking of a jet ski?

In the following text, we will explain what is most important to every owner and renter, along with the important information that there are legal provisions that regulate the navigation of such a vessel.

If we want to rent a jet ski to tourists, then they should know how it is in force

Rulebook on boats, boats and yachts you Ordinance on Amendments to the Ordinance on Boats, Boats and Yachts.

Those legal provisions say how jet boats and speedboats must have a built-in system who limits the speed sailing at five knots within the safety zone from the coast and other vessels.

This can be done in several ways, and one of them is the purchase of the Ototrack system (https://www.ototrak.com/hr), which is mounted on the jetski and enables GPS monitoring and management. If such a system is expensive for you, you can achieve the same with ours Beedigital 4Nautic PRO package.

The most important functionalities you need for GPS tracking of jetski are the following

1. Real-time movement tracking

A GPS tracking system should provide real time tracking of the location of the jetski or speedboat.

2. Setting up geozones

Geozone or Eng. geofence is a virtual barrier around a certain geographical area. The GPS tracking system should have the ability to set a geozone around the area where the jetski should not enter, or if it does - where its power should be limited and its movement speed should be kept to a minimum.

3. Restriction of movement power when in the vicinity of another jet ski

Collisions at sea often end with unwanted consequences, and most often the man is to blame. Especially if they are tourists who rarely drive such powerful vehicles, so they are not aware of the dangers. When two jet vehicles get close to each other, it is good to have the option to reduce the engine power to a minimum.

4. Alarms and notifications

The GPS tracking system should be able to send alarm and notification messages if the jet goes outside the defined geozone (geofence).

It is also very useful to know when, for example, a tourist returns with a jetski, which we can do if, for example, we create a geozone of a certain size and a notification when the vessel enters the geozone.

5. Alarms for misuse or possible theft of jetski

A GPS tracking system should be able to detect if someone is trying to disable or disconnect the tracking device. The notification must be received immediately on the mobile phone.

6. Speed monitoring

A GPS tracking system should be able to monitor the jetski's speed and alert the owner if it exceeds a certain speed. For the purposes of later monitoring, it must be possible to review the history of movement and speed at all points of movement. This is extremely necessary if you believe that the jetski was not driving too fast, and you are in danger of receiving a fine.

7. Battery status monitoring

The GPS tracking system should be able to monitor the jetski's battery level (voltage, voltage) and alert the owner if it gets too low. We know how water scooters can stand for several days without starting, and it is important to know that everything is in order with the battery.

8. Remote engine shutdown

If we see that the jetski is being driven improperly, there is little we can do if we do not have the ability to remotely reduce speed or shut it down.

The BeeDigital 4Nautic package allows you to shut down the engine via the mobile application, within a few seconds, as well as all the options listed above. With our GPS boat monitoring system, you can be sure that your yacht is safe and that you have done the most you can to protect the driver.
