Two wires. One device. Your whole fleet, tracked.
Built for what the sea throws at it
Installs in minutes.
Two wires to the battery terminals, mount with the included tape or a simple bracket, and the device is live. No wiring harness, no splicing, no electrician. Most installs take under 15 minutes.
IP69K: the highest practical protection.
Fully sealed against dust, high-pressure water jets, and steam cleaning. Built to survive washdowns, salt spray, and engine-bay conditions day after day.
Stays connected along the coast.
4G LTE with multi-network SIM coverage. When one provider's signal fades near the coast, the device switches automatically. Data recorded offshore syncs the moment coverage returns.
Sub-2-metre positioning accuracy.
Next-generation GNSS with GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, and BeiDou tracking across up to 41 satellites. Accurate fixes in harbours, along coastlines, and in open water.
The marine tracker
Our recommended marine tracker is the Teltonika FTC880, a next-generation 4G LTE device built for fast installation in harsh environments. It connects directly to the vessel's battery with two wires (positive and negative), no ignition circuit, no relay wiring, no wire harness to route through the hull. Mount it with the included double-sided tape or a simple bracket, and it's tracking.
The IP69K-rated casing is fully sealed against dust, salt water, high-pressure washdowns, and steam. This isn't a land tracker repackaged for boats. It's built for exposed mounting in engine bays, under consoles, or anywhere on the vessel where water and vibration are part of daily life.
Every unit ships with a multi-network SIM that switches providers automatically when signal drops, the same connectivity approach we use across our entire device range. For vessels operating along Malta and Gozo's coastline, this means consistent tracking without the gaps that single-provider SIMs create around headlands and in harbours.

For vessels that need environmental monitoring (temperature, humidity, door sensors), see the FMC230 option below, which adds Bluetooth sensor connectivity. Or talk to us about the right setup for your fleet
For vessels that go further
For boats that operate in more exposed conditions or further from shore, we offer the Teltonika FTC961. It carries the same IP69K protection and 4G LTE connectivity as the FTC880, with support for high-voltage electrical systems (up to 90V) and 135-satellite-channel GNSS for reliable positioning in open water.
Like the FTC880, the FTC961 is a wired installation, but it uses a short power cable rather than a direct battery clamp. It's the right choice for electric or hybrid vessels, or for operators who want maximum GNSS coverage when operating at the edge of coastal range.
- Protection
- IP69K. Same rugged, fully sealed casing as the FTC880.
- Connectivity
- 4G LTE Cat 1 with multi-network SIM. High-voltage support (10-90V) for electric and hybrid vessels.
For fleets that need onboard sensors
If your vessels need more than position tracking (temperature monitoring in a cargo hold, humidity sensing in an engine room, or automatic crew identification when someone boards), the Teltonika FMC230 adds Bluetooth 4.0 LE connectivity to the mix. It pairs directly with Yipii's EYE Sensor and EYE Beacon range, turning the tracker into a gateway for onboard environmental data.
The FMC230 is IP67 rated (dust-sealed, waterproof to 1 metre submersion) rather than IP69K, so it's best mounted in a sheltered position like an engine bay or under a console. It connects via a standard wiring harness to the vessel's 12V or 24V system.
- Sensors
- Bluetooth 4.0 LE. Pairs with EYE temperature/humidity sensors and crew-ID beacons.
- Protection
- IP67: dust-sealed, waterproof to 1 metre submersion. Best for sheltered mounting positions.
Paired with Yipii, it's a complete system
A tracker on its own gives you dots on a map. Yipii turns those dots into a complete operational picture: live vessel positions, historical route replay, trip-by-trip reporting, geofence alerts for harbour boundaries, and automated notifications when a vessel moves outside scheduled hours.
Every marine device ships with a multi-network SIM. When coastal coverage from one provider drops, the device switches automatically, stores any data gaps locally, and syncs everything the moment it reconnects. The same resilient connectivity approach trusted by our land fleet customers across Malta and Gozo.
Device health, SIM status, vessel assignment, remote reboot: all managed from the same Yipii dashboard your land fleet uses, if you have one. One login. One view. No separate marine portal.
Talk to us about marine trackingCommon questions
The FTC880 (our recommended marine tracker) connects directly to the vessel's battery with two wires: positive and negative. Mount it with the included tape or a simple bracket. Most installs take under 15 minutes. No electrician, no complex wiring. The FTC961 and FMC230 use a short wiring harness for connection.
For most boats in Malta's coastal waters, the FTC880 is the best fit: easiest install, strongest protection (IP69K), and the best positioning accuracy. Choose the FTC961 if you have an electric or hybrid vessel, or you operate further offshore. Choose the FMC230 if you need Bluetooth sensor connectivity for temperature, humidity, or crew identification.
The FTC880 and FTC961 are both IP69K rated, meaning they're fully sealed against dust, high-pressure water jets, and steam. They're designed for exactly this kind of environment. The FMC230 is IP67 (waterproof to 1 metre submersion) and should be mounted in a sheltered position.
All three devices store tracking data in 128MB of internal memory and sync it to Yipii automatically the moment cellular coverage returns. You get a complete route history with no gaps, even if the vessel was out of range for hours.
Yes. Every vessel appears on the same Yipii live map alongside your land vehicles. You can filter by vessel, set up fleet-wide geofences, and run reports across your entire operation.
Yes, with the FMC230 tracker, which has built-in Bluetooth for pairing with our EYE Sensor range (temperature, humidity, movement/door detection). The FTC880 and FTC961 do not have Bluetooth, so they're tracking-only devices.
Pair an EYE Beacon with each crew member and use the FMC230 tracker. When they board a vessel, Yipii automatically logs who's operating the boat on each trip. This feature requires the Bluetooth-equipped FMC230.
Power draw in sleep mode is minimal (under 1mA in power-off sleep on the FTC880). A healthy marine battery can power the device for weeks without the engine running.
Teltonika Telematics, a Lithuanian manufacturer shipping GPS and IoT devices to over 180 countries. European-made, fully certified, and one of the most established names in commercial telematics.
The FTC880 is designed for self-installation: two wires to the battery, mount with tape. If you'd rather not, any marine electrician can handle all three devices in well under an hour. We provide remote setup support for every install.
