Welcome to Marina Trace

The Nation’s Most Comprehensive Maritime Intelligence Network for Marinas

Every Delinquent Slip Is a Revenue Leak. Marina Trace Helps You Plug It Faster.

Running a marina means making decisions before problems reach your docks—and cost you revenue. A single delinquent 40-foot slip can drain $800+ per month in lost income, and if that vessel becomes abandoned, removal costs can reach $20,000 to $40,000.

The traditional lien process takes 90 to 180 days. What if you could resolve the problem in 10 days instead?

Marina Trace gives verified marina operators early operational awareness about vessels—helping reduce surprises, protect revenue, and accelerate problem resolution.

How the Recovery Loop Works

When a marina reports a problem vessel, it creates network visibility that can help other legitimate parties who are already searching for that vessel recognize it and engage through proper channels, shortening the time it takes to resolve disputes and clearing your slips for paying customers faster.

Know the Vessel Before It Becomes an Issue

Search by HIN, VIN (for pre-HIN vessels), state registration, or USCG documentation number to see if a vessel has a history at other marinas—before you accept it into your facility.

Marina Trace is anchored to a national HIN reference dataset spanning over 6 million U.S. vessels (57% of all registered boats in the country), used solely for compliant vessel verification and network matching.

No owner profiles.

No sensitive data exposed.

When to Flag a Vessel

Marina Trace is designed for real operational situations marina professionals face every day:

Non-payment of slip fees (30+ days delinquent)

Abandoned or owner unresponsive (ghosted communications, no dock visits)

Midnight runners (vessels that left without notice or payment)

Active liens or legal disputes from other locations

Environmental hazards (sinking, leaking fuel, safety risks)

Real Results from the Network

A large marina operator had a 50-foot sailboat sitting delinquent for over 60 days. The owner had stopped responding to calls and emails. They flagged the vessel in Marina Trace.

Within 48 hours, the bank holding the boat loan—who had been searching for the vessel for months—located it through the network. The boat was repossessed and removed within a week, with all outstanding slip fees paid to the marina as part of the recovery.

Result: 60+ days of lost revenue prevented. $30,000+ in legal and removal costs avoided. Slip freed for a paying customer.

A Private Network — Not a Public Database

Marina Trace is a closed, B2B maritime intelligence network.

Access is limited to fully vetted marina operators. Information is shared responsibly, compliantly, and only at the operational level marina professionals need.

This is not a consumer reporting agency. We don’t provide credit scores, background checks, or character assessments. We track vessels, not people.

Built for the Operations You’re Already Running—Just Faster and Smarter

Marina Trace supports smarter intake decisions, better situational awareness, and smoother day-to-day operations—without changing how you already work.

Whether you’re screening a new vessel during intake or working to resolve a delinquency already in your facility, Marina Trace gives you the intelligence to act faster and protect your bottom line.
