About iBoattrack

 

Welcome to the iBoattrack web service! Please feel free to explore our site and see how we provide individual boat and fleet tracking and mapping via the Internet. We have designed three formats: Racers, Cruisers, and Workboats.

Race Tracking is typically for offshore middle-distance to long-distance yacht races. This is an exciting, new, interactive perspective. It transforms yacht racing into a spectator sport. Your race will be available online to view for years to come. It also gives race sponsors the opportunity for advertisement at the top of our mapping pages both during the race as well as after race completion. As a racer, you can review an animated history of each race and interact with the "mapper" to observe your and your competitors' performance. If you are a race committee member and are interested in providing tracking services for your race, please contact us at info@iboattrack.com or 508-748-1861.

Cruising Boat tracking has enabled a new network experience.  Friends and family are comforted to observe the location of their wanderers.  Boat owners have used this service to remotely follow their professionally crewed yacht while underway to desired locations.  Each boat has its own dedicated, interactive web page "mapper" with photos of the boat and updated news clips.  Anchorages and cruising tracks can be viewed as maps and charts or as satellite photograph images via Google Maps.  This feature allows the user to zoom in to the dock, cove, or harbor. If you are planning an upcoming cruise and would like to learn more about our service for cruisers as well as pricing, please contact us at the above email address or phone number.

The Work Boats format is used by commercial fleets to keep track of their offshore assets including but not limited to: barges, tugboats, ferries, cruise ships, and supply vessels. The web access is reserved for company officials who use a secure login and password. Because this is confidential information, we have a demo available to those who are interested. Please email us or call for demo access.
