Boat Fix, a recreational boating telematics company that provides a combination of real time remote monitoring, GPS tracking, sophisticated geofencing, and 24/7 live customer support, announced today its Admiral Club Member sponsorship of the National Safe Boating Council (NSBC).

“At Boat Fix safety is in our DNA and our goal is to promote safe, secure, and stress-free boating,” said Steve Pitsos, CEO, Boat Fix. “To support the NSBC at this level aligns with this vision. We are excited to be a part of the organization and thrilled to help them in their mission of advocating for a safer boating culture.”

“We are very grateful for the support of companies like Boat Fix,” said Peg Phillips, Executive Director, National Safe Boating Council. “Promoting safe boating takes constant education and outreach to the boating community. Only through the support of like-minded companies can we accomplish this vital mission.”

Boat Fix is more than a fleet management and monitoring solution. As a tool for safer boating and boat ownership, the Boat Fix app sends real time weather alerts and small craft advisories including wave height, visibility, and wind speeds based on the boat’s location; offers geofence protection; safety checklists of U.S. Coast Guard required equipment including calendar reminders with fire extinguishers and flare expiration dates and helps ensure that the correct number of life jackets are on board to be worn; pre- and post-departure checklists to help verify all systems are functioning properly; as well as remote monitoring of battery voltage – including ultra-low, low- and high-voltage which is critical for preventing degradation of battery life and avoiding potential fires or explosions. In addition, the Boat Fix app provides advanced navigation with NOAA charts with detailed navigation marks and depths, rather than industry-standard Google Earth maps.

Users of the Boat Fix Pro app can communicate with the 24/7 Boat Fix team at the touch of a button, through voice, text, email, or two-way video chat to answer questions and diagnose issues on the water. Every call is answered in seconds, in person, by trained professionals ready and willing to help. The industry-exclusive 24/7 Emergency Mechanical Helpline ensures boaters have immediate mechanical assistance over the phone if issues occur on the water. The 24/7 Boat Fix Control Center also monitors unauthorized use and boat-theft prevention and can share your boat’s exact location with law enforcement.

Founded in 1958, the National Safe Boating Council serves as a national catalyst for developing a safe boating culture by providing educational resources, outreach programming, and training opportunities for industry partners and the boating community to influence fun, safe, and responsible boating.
