Jet Ski Tracker

Have you had the fear that your jet ski gets stolen and you’re not able to recovery it? That’s a key reason why people start looking for a solution solution.

The best way is to discreetly store a tracking device. Sure – it won’t stop your PWC from being stolen, but it certainly help in the recovery process with some assistance from police.

I’ve done the research to compile a list of some great options to help protect your pride and joy. After all, there’s nothing worse than hearing the news that your weekend toy has been stolen and is in the hands of those less honest. The police are often unable to do anything, but with a well-disguised tracker, you might significantly increase the chances of a swift recovery.

You just never know when the bad guys can strike. I recommend the following tracking devices:

1. AMERICALOC GL300 GPS Tracker MXW

If you need a GPS tracker that you can not just use for your jet ski but across a range of vehicles (your car and boat for instance) then look no further. This device alerts you even the moment your jet ski is moved, so even if it’s being pushed out of your garage you’ll certainly know about it.

2. Brickhouse Security Spark Nano 7

This is a popular alternative to the Americaloc and it’s also one of the smallest GPS trackers on the market. It’s on 4G which means you’ll have much more coverage across North America and into Canada. The case is magnetic so you can store it somewhere in your engine bay though I’d be wanting to add some duct tape to stop it falling off, and to also hide it more discreetly.

3. Hidden Magnetic GPS Tracker

This is another great model that pairs with your smart phone to track your GPS or any type of marine vessel. Installation is super easy and it takes just 10 seconds. Note: You’ll need to pay for a monthly plan but you can setup a range of devices for the same price, meaning you can track your motorcycle car, boat and even some of larger tools such as a lawnmower.

4. Amcrest 4G LTE GPS Tracker

This is a marine specific model which is the cheapest on this list. I prefer the other options listed above but this one is compact and has a 14-day battery. One of the coolest things is that you can use it to track others such as kids and dogs who are left back at the boat ramp. I’ve even seen some guys use this to track their jet ski trailer in case it gets stolen while they’re away.

Getting Started

Protecting your jet ski with a tracker is one element of the equation. Personally, a traditional security lock on your ski is certainly much better as a deterrent. Thieves don’t like hard work and are looking for quick and easy wins.

In the back of their minds, they now treat every jet ski as being tracked. This is why hiding in a secret spot is necessary. The front locker is one of the worst spots to hide a tracker and the engine bay isn’t that much better, but it’ll do in most cases.

Now, there are also models out there on the market which can remotely kill the power to the PWC in the event that your machine is stolen while it’s parked at the dock or beach. There is quite an additional cost with this and I haven’t yet gone down this route previously.

Hopefully, you’ll never actually have to rely on a tracker to recover your jet ski because it doesn’t get stolen in the first place. Use some common sense but use one as a last resort which can reduce insurance premiums since you may not need to make a claim on your policy.

I became obsessed with the marine industry when I was just 7-years old. Today I’m thrilled to share my knowledge online. When I’m not out there riding, I’m engaging with industry trends and eagerly helping people get more time-freedom online so they can spend more time out there riding their jet skis around.
