Boat tracking for Nigerian waters.
CTN fits marine-grade GPS to speedboats, ferries and work vessels across Nigeria's waterways, with live position, geo-fence alerts around your jetty and long-life power for boats that sit offshore.
GPS tracking, built for water.
Boats get stolen at jetties, drift unmoored in coastal currents, or disappear into wide waters where cellular networks fade. Boat tracker installation in Nigeria keeps your vessel visible whether it sits at the dock, runs the Lagos lagoon, or fishes 25 km off the Atlantic coast. Live GPS every 10 seconds, route playback across 12 months, geo-fence alerts on berths and fishing zones, ignition-start detection, and a 10-day standalone battery that keeps reporting even if main power is cut.
NCC-licensed SIMs that survive past month one.
We buy SIMs in volume from MTN, Airtel, Glo, 9mobile under our corporate licence. Cheap competitors use black-market SIMs that deactivate in 2-3 weeks. Your boat stays connected.
Marine hardware that survives Nigerian waters.
IP67 submersible housing, stainless marine mounting, salt-tolerant cabling, sealed connectors. Every component spec'd for brackish water and tropical humidity. Not a land tracker in a waterproof bag.
Install at your dock. No boat-out-of-water required.
Marine technicians come to your jetty in Lagos, Lekki, Port Harcourt, Bonny, Onne, or Calabar. 60-90 minutes per vessel. Multi-boat operators usually have a full fleet fitted in 2-3 working days.

How boat tracker in Nigeria actually works.
The detail buyers and search engines look for, in plain language.
Boats get stolen at jetties, drift unmoored in coastal currents, or disappear into wide waters where cellular networks fade. Boat tracker installation in Nigeria keeps your vessel visible whether it sits at the dock, runs the Lagos lagoon, or fishes 25 km off the Atlantic coast. Live GPS every 10 seconds, route playback across 12 months, geo-fence alerts on berths and fishing zones, ignition-start detection, and a 10-day standalone battery that keeps reporting even if main power is cut.
The hardware is IP67 marine-grade housing with salt-water-tolerant cabling, sealed connectors, and stainless mounting. Coastal cellular reaches most Nigerian fishing and water-taxi routes (10-30 km from shore). For boats that go further, the satellite-fallback module keeps reporting via Iridium or Inmarsat. We are the marine GPS company Nigerian fishing operators, oil-service tenders, and water-taxi services use because the install happens at your jetty and the hardware survives Niger Delta brackish water for years.
The boat tracker price in Nigeria is ₦200,000 first year per vessel, ₦35,000 renewal. Multi-boat fleets get volume pricing. Pair with our Fuel Monitoring service on diesel vessels when port-side siphoning is the real loss. Upgrade to the Fleet Management dashboard when you cross a handful of boats and operations needs role-based access for captains, dispatchers, and owners.
What it costs
Pricing for boat tracker starts from N200,000 , with a N35,000 annual renewal.

Where Nigerian operators install boat tracking.
Coastal fishing fleets out of Lagos, Lekki, Niger Delta creeks, Calabar. Live position, route history, theft alerts. Add satellite-fallback for offshore. Add Fuel Monitoring on diesel vessels.
Passenger water-taxis on Lagos lagoon (Five Cowries, Ikoyi, Apapa, CMS), tourist boats around Lekki and Tarkwa Bay, coastal logistics in the Niger Delta. Route playback settles passenger disputes.
Speedboats, jet skis, weekend cruisers, yachts. Live location, anti-theft alerts on movement and engine-start, geo-fenced berth detection, 10-day backup. Manage from your phone.
A record you can check.
Questions, answered.
Does the boat tracker include an engine immobiliser?
No. Cutting power to a boat under way on water is a serious safety risk. The Boat Tracker focuses on live GPS, route playback, geo-fence berth alerts, ignition-start detection, tamper alerts, and 24/7 recovery support.
Will the tracker survive a fully submerged boat?
Yes. Every CTN marine tracker is IP67-rated, submersible to 1 metre for 30 minutes. Marine-grade housing, sealed connectors, salt-water-tolerant cabling. We have units running on Niger Delta fishing canoes through 5-year seasons.
Does GPS work when the boat is offshore?
GPS works anywhere with sky view, including open ocean. Coastal cellular reaches 10-30 km from shore. For boats going further, satellite-fallback module keeps reporting via Iridium or Inmarsat, quoted per vessel based on routes.
How long does the battery last without engine power?
Up to 10 days in standby with hourly position pings. If the boat is stolen and main power is cut, the tracker keeps reporting long enough for recovery.
How much does a boat tracker cost in Nigeria?
₦200,000 first year per vessel. Covers IP67 tracker, marine install at your jetty, coastal cellular SIM, 10-day backup battery, 2-year warranty. Annual renewal ₦35,000. Multi-boat fleets quoted per vessel.
