Guys and Gals- I thought i would share this - This is a graet company I was introduced to me by a client who used them to safegaurd his 64' Viking. over the past months I have been seeing more and more discounts being given to clients and friends because of they have made the investment to PROTECT their investment.....

The products Paradox Marine has set up and specifically designed have just recently been highligthed in the news they have also just received recogntion from the US Coast Gaurd..........a mans boat was stolen from behind his house by two guys - and from the time it took the owner to receive a text message from the system that the boat was on the move - and the boat to be recovered and returned ONLY 60 MINS HAD PASSED!!! Before the would be theives were able to get to far away with the Vessel - the nav tracker owner had already called Broward county police and a helicopter was dispatched.........This system is perfect for any absentee boat owner - or north/south owner........wait a minute - strike that..Its great for every boat owner!!!!


They also have an inexpensive model they just came out with for the smaller CC....

LET ME ALSO SAY - certain insurance companies are willing to discount discount for these products....and over the years - the investment pays off....Take a moment and read the article published:

Tracking Device Leads Florida Sheriff's Department To Stolen Boat Within 60 Minutes


A 35-foot Fountain equipped with the Nav-Tracker 2.0 wireless boat location and GPS tracking system from Paradox Marine helped the Broward County, Florida Sheriff's Department recover the $200,000 boat within 60 minutes on Saturday (January 3). Boat owner Alberto Verdesi had installed the Nav-Tracker system in October. About 6 am ET on Saturday morning, Nav-Tracker sent a text message to Verdesi's cell phone that his boat was on the move without his permission and where it was headed. He called the Broward Sheriff's Department, which dispatched a helicopter to locate the boat. When the helicopter flew over the location, the thieves ran off, but the $200,000 boat was recovered in good shape.

When a Nav-Tracker 2.0 transmitter is mounted discreetly on a boat, a wireless ‘fence’ with a 500-foot range is created. If a boat is moved outside of this fence, Nav-Tracker 2.0 uses Inmarsat based GPS satellite technology to monitor a boat’s location and notify up to four people by email and/or text message every 15 minutes with the latitude/longitude, speed and heading.

As many as 27,000 boats are stolen annually, according to the International Association of Marine Investigators. “Alarms and other deterrents are not enough. However, with Nav-Tracker on board, if your boat is stolen, there's a very good chance you'll get it back,” said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine Vice President of Marketing.

The message transmitted from Nav-Tracker 2.0 on board the Fountain 35 when it was stolen would have been similar to this:

Paradox Marine Receives US Coast Guard Medal For Help With Stolen Boat Recovery

Nav-Tracker 2.0 Located Stolen Boat In The Bahamas, Recovered By Coast Guard 12 Hours Later

Wireless boat security systems supplier Paradox Marine has received a medal from the US Coast Guard in recognition of its innovative product, the NAV-TRACKER 2.0 GPS Tracking System. The system helped the Coast Guard recover a stolen boat in the Bahamas last September 17.

A 34-foot Contender equipped with the Paradox Marine Nav-Tracker 2.0 GPS tracking system, stolen from Marsh Harbor in the Bahamas, was located by the system and recovered in the vicinity by the US Coast Guard about 12 hours later.

When a Nav-Tracker 2.0 transmitter is mounted discreetly on a boat, a wireless ‘geo-fence’ with a 500-meter radius is created. If a boat is moved outside of this geo-fence, the Nav-Tracker 2.0 uses Inmarsat based GPS satellite technology to monitor a boat’s location and notify up to ten people by email and/or text message every 15 minutes with the latitude/longitude, speed, heading and distance to closest city.

As many as 27,000 boats are stolen annually and the odds of recovery are only about 1 in 10, according to the International Association of Marine Investigators. “With a NAV-TRACKER 2.0 onboard, we have experienced the successful recovery of vessels unharmed, sometimes in less than one hour,” said Jay Keenan, Paradox Marine Vice President.

On January 3rd of this year, a 35’ Fountain Executioner was also recovered with the help of a NAV-TRACKER 2.0 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, just 54 minutes after being stolen.

Some insurance companies now require GPS tracking devices, like the NAV-TRACKER 2.0, to be installed on certain types of boats, including high performance boats and boats with triple high-horsepower outboards.
