Our proprietary devices combine durability with smart design for rental operations.
Solar + Exernal Pow
Use solar power for simple wire-free installation, or connect external power for continuous operation in shaded areas. A high-efficiency solar panel and large internal battery provide 7+ days of operation without sunlight.
Loud Siren Built-In (Geo-Fenced)
Loud siren and bright strobes warn renters to danger. The built-in siren can be triggered automatically by geofences or activated directly by your team. An external siren can also be connected for even greater sound coverage. The quick-reacting geofences continue to work even in areas without network coverage.
On-Screen Messaging & Diagnostics
The OLED screen provides clear context for siren warnings and other alerts. Your team can send messages that appear directly on the display, and renters can reply using a button that works even when wet. The screen also provides time-saving diagnostics such as battery level, mobile signal strength, and input voltages
Compact & Discreet Installation
Additional inputs can be connected to monitor boat’s battery level, ignition, bilge pump etc. Get a text alert when battery runs low, or when ignition is turned on
Capsize Flip-Over Alerts
The patented system detects if a vehicle has capsized or flipped over and sends a text alert to your team. This helps improve renter safety and reduce damage to equipment.
Waterproof & Rugged Design
IP68-rated hermetic sealing protects against saltwater, rain, and extreme temperatures (-20°C to +60°C). Tested in both freshwater and marine environments. Resistant to impacts, vibrations, and UV exposure for long-term durability.
Cloud-based platform that transforms raw GPS data into actionable business insights.
Live GPS Map with Trip Hisotry
Monitor your full fleet in real time on one screen using a computer, tablet, or phone. Color-coded markers and labels help your team identify each vessel quickly. Historical tracks can be reviewed trip by trip, with start time, end time, duration, and distance traveled, helping support fuel cost estimates and distance-based billing
Smart Geofencing
Create geofences quickly by drawing them with your finger. Assign different fences to different boat types, and set up speed zones, no-go zones, and soon-home text alerts so your team can be ready to assist returning boats.
Team Based Alerts & Permissions
Add or remove team members as needed and assign permission levels based on their role. Seasonal staff can be given access without allowing them to manage users or change geofences.
Each team member can also choose which text alerts to receive, so dock staff, managers, and owners only get the alerts relevant to them.
Nautical Charts with Depth Data
WAIV integrates nautical charts with depth markers and marine navigation aids. This helps support precise geofencing, avoid shallow water, and review incidents more clearly. Display modes include Basic View for everyday use, Nautical View for geofencing and route planning, and Satellite View for pin-pointing fine details not shown on regular maps.
Multi-Site Fleet Management
Built for operators with multiple locations, WAIV makes it easy to switch between sites and focus on the boats at a selected location. You can also view all boats across all locations on a single screen. Text alerts can be filtered by site, so each team member only receives alerts relevant to their location and responsibilities.
Integration with Booking Software
WAIV integrates with leading booking and fleet management platforms, including SpeedyDock, BoatClubSoftware, Fleetio, and ActivityDock.
GPS data can also be exported in CSV and GPX formats for sharing with insurance companies or importing into other software.
“WAIW has helped us tremendously to improve safety and costumer service, and to reduce cost!”
Often renters get lost and call asking for directions,” John explains. “Now we can see exactly where they are and guide them back safely. It gives peace of mind both for us and for the renter.
It is extremely easy to use,” says Reda. “We set it up all online with the geo-fencing, and it has been working great. Now we no longer get calls from angry harbor masters, and our staff can focus on giving guests the best experience instead of reminding them to slow down.
We use WAIV to keep track of all our boats. Not only for peace of mind, but to help our reception quote accurate wait times when things get hectic. Being able to track our inventory in real time gives us all the information in case of a dispute. I recommend WAIV for all rental operations that way they can have the peace of mind to know where all their inventory is at all times.
We use WAIV tracking here at Action Sport Rentals at Lowe’s Marina and it’s definitely relieved some stress, at the end of the day, we know where everything is. We definitely endorse WAIV tracking for your GPS boat tracking needs.
We’ve always had trouble with our jet-skis getting lost in the evening and people having breakdowns and we can’t find them, so we installed WAIV GPS trackers on all our skis. It’s the best investment I made in a long time in my company.”

Buying WAIV is risk-free. We offer a 30-day money back guarantee.
First time customer may return up to 5 devices even if they have been actively used on boats during the 30-day period.
Our trackers dynamically adjusts the update rate based on motion, speed, change of direction, proximity to geofences, and intelligent predictions of the vessel’s movement.
A vessel at high speed may update as often as once every 30 seconds, an industry-leading update rate.
On the other hand, if a boat moves at a very slow pace without changing bearing, the update rate is much lower. This saves you from having to sift through thousands of unnecessary GPS points to find the GPS data that you are looking for. Our customers are working in a fast paced environment and needs to get to the information they need very quickly. Our intelligent system lets them do just that.
Our generous return policy allows you to try WAIV with no risk and receive a full return if you are not happy with the trackers for any reason. Please follow this link for full details.
Many of our customers run seasonal operations and our pricing plans are tailored to their needs. We offer different subscription levels to accommodate for the variations in season, and the subscription can be adjusted from month to month. Please review our product page for pricing details.
The WAIV SoundAlertSystem is designed for precisely that.
Based on geo-fences that you can draw with your finger on a mobile phone, the WAIV device will emit a loud sound whenever a driver is exceeding the set speed limit or enters a no-go zone.
This is a safe, yet very effective way to keep renters within the speed limit.
And the sound alerts work even if the boat is outside mobile coverage area.
Our trackers work in almost every country in the world. Please contact us for information regarding the specific country you operate in.
