Club APRIL Marine is excited to announce a new member benefit through our partnership with RecovR.
RecovR is an advanced GPS tracking and recovery solution that will be offered with an exclusive 15% discount to Club APRIL Marine members this boating season. An added benefit is that many insurance providers offer up to 10% discounts on premiums for watercraft equipped with GPS tracking devices like RecovR*, meaning the device can essentially pay for itself through insurance savings. This cutting-edge device provides boat owners with near-real-time location tracking and theft alerts through a simple smartphone app. For boat owners looking to protect their vessels without complicated installations, RecovR is the ideal solution. With a three-year battery life and rugged waterproof, wireless design, RecovR is easy to install and can handle everything from saltwater spray to storage shed conditions, operating in temperatures from -40°F to +85°C.
The story of RecovR
The story of RecovR begins with The NAGRA Kudelski Group, a Swiss technology pioneer founded in 1951. What started with Stefan Kudelski’s invention of the first portable audio recorder has evolved into a global leader in digital security, cybersecurity, and Internet of Things (IoT) solutions. For over 70 years, Kudelski has been creating Emmy and Oscar award-winning technologies used in everything from professional recording to covert operations and Apollo moon missions.
By 2017, recognizing the growing need for connected device security, Kudelski created its IoT division to protect the increasing number of smart devices entering our daily lives. It was in this environment of innovation and security expertise that RecovR was born in 2021.
RecovR was initially created to solve a specific problem for car dealerships: how to efficiently track hundreds of vehicles across their lots while providing theft recovery for the dealership and its customers. The Kudelski IoT team developed a simple yet sophisticated solution: a small, wireless device that takes less than a minute to install with no wiring needed.
The success of this automotive solution quickly caught the attention of other industries facing similar asset protection challenges. Today, the same proven tracking technology that protects thousands of vehicles across North America has been adapted for marine environments, agriculture, construction, golf, and more.
RecovR for boaters
For boat and trailer owners, RecovR offers peace of mind whether vessels are stored at a marina, trailered to different launching points, or docked at a favorite fishing spot. The device uses GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular technologies to provide reliable tracking whether assets are parked indoors, outdoors, or moving between locations. This multi-layered approach ensures location updates even when one signal type isn’t available.
RecovR provides near-real-time location updates and immediate alerts if vessels move without permission. Additionally, the device’s waterproof and dustproof design makes it perfectly suited for harsh marine environments, from Ontario rivers to Québec shores.
Beyond durability, RecovR maintains a complete history of where you’ve been. Whether you’ve forgotten where you parked your trailer or need to locate your boat quickly in a busy harbor, RecovR makes finding your watercraft effortless. The data stays completely private thanks to the same encryption technology used by governments and intelligence agencies.
The technology that powers RecovR represents decades of innovation from a company that has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible in technology and security.
Today, RecovR has been deployed across more than 1,000 dealership locations in Canada and in the U.S., protecting thousands of vehicles daily. Its expansion into the marine industry represents the natural evolution of a technology platform that was designed from the ground up to be versatile, secure, and user-friendly.
We’re thrilled to work with the RecovR team to help protect your valuable marine assets and enhance your peace of mind on the water!
