New marine security brand launches in response to boat theft A new UK-based marine security brand, SeaSight, has launched
with a suite of purpose-built products designed to address vulnerabilities in small boat theft protection. The range was developed following the theft of a leisure RIB from a mooring in St Mawes in Cornwall last summer. Despite investigations by the marine police, Border Force, and Interpol, the stolen vessel (Ribeye A683) was not recovered.
The incident highlighted gaps in available security solutions for small and mid-sized boats, prompting IT systems specialist Tony Cantrill, the vessel’s owner, to begin designing an alternative.

“Smaller boats do get stolen, and there is a growing concern that criminals are using them for covert drug transfers and other illegal activities,” comments Cantrill. SeaSight has launched with three primary products within the range, all of which are self-installed and can be used individually or as a complete suite. The ’Shield’ is the onboard connected unit featuring motion sensors, GPS tracking, ignition sensing, and a proprietary monitoring line. The system also includes mobile app integration for remote monitoring and can detect if a vessel has become detached from a mooring.
