How a rental works

01 · YOU Check out at the put-in Scan their QR, pick the kayak or canoe and the return time. Done.
02 · ON THE WATER Every boat on the map On the river, the lake or along the coast — each boat with its return time.
03 · THE END Return or pick-up Tap Returned at the dock — or see where to collect them at the end of a one-way trip.

No app yet? It's free, one minute. Don't want one? Send a web link by SMS (coming in the pilot). Busy day? Print stickers from your dashboard and let customers start themselves.

Built for longer trips.

Your area on the map

Draw the stretch of river, lake or coast your boats may use.

Late-return alert

The minute a boat is due and not back, your staff know where it is.

Help request comes to you

Tired, lost or capsized but safe? The request reaches your staff with the position.

SOS to the rescue centre

A real emergency goes to the rescue centre for those waters — you see it the same second.

Evening report

Every trip of the day, late returns and incidents, in your inbox at closing (coming in the pilot).

Guided group trips

SOON

One guide, several boats — an alert when one falls behind.

Questions operators ask

Does tracking work where the signal is weak?

The customer's phone sends its position over mobile data. Where the signal drops, your map shows the last known position and when it was sent, and it updates again once the phone is back in coverage.

Can a guide lead a group?

Guided group mode — one guide, several boats, an alert when a boat falls behind — is coming, built with our pilot operators. Until then each boat is its own rental on your map.

Do my customers need to download an app?

The VesselSOS app is free and takes about a minute to set up — on iPhone today, Android later. Customers who don't want an app get a web link by SMS that works in the phone's browser (coming in the pilot).

Do I need GPS trackers or other hardware?

No. Your customers' phones are the trackers. Your staff use the Fleet dashboard in a browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. The only thing you print is a QR sticker for each craft.

Can I use Fleet this season?

Fleet is in its pilot: we're onboarding a small group of rental operators for the 2027 season and set up each fleet together with them. You can try the dashboard demo with sample data today and apply for the pilot.

Who can see my customer's location?

Only your staff, and only for the rental the customer accepted in their app — they can see who is watching. VesselSOS keeps its data in the European Union (Stockholm), and every pilot operator signs a data processing agreement with us.

Fleet helps your staff keep an eye on every rental. It is not a rescue service and doesn't replace your own safety duties.
