NZ Boat Register

16/06/2026

Visible or tucked away, AquaTAGs give your boat, kayak, trailer or gear a simple digital ID.

If someone finds it, they can tap the tag and securely message you without seeing your private contact details.

And if it ever turns up where it shouldn’t, your AquaTAG links back to your registered record on NZ Boat Register.

Tag it. Scan it. Identify it.

Small tag. Big difference.

AquaTAGs help boats, kayaks, trailers and gear be quickly identified if they’re found, left behind, or separated from their owner.

Tap the tag, view the registered public details, and securely message the owner without exposing private contact information.

Do you recognise this boat, or know who it may belong to?

An unmanned dinghy has been found in Doubtless Bay. If you have information that could help identify the owner, please contact the relevant authorities.

Stories like this are a reminder that when a boat, tender, kayak or piece of gear is found without its owner nearby, identification matters.

A free registration at nzboatregister.co.nz gives your craft a secure digital record. Adding an AquaTAG means it can be scanned by a modern mobile phone, helping a finder securely identify the registered craft and make contact without exposing private owner details.

It is simple, practical, and can make a real difference when something is found out of place.

Police are wanting to find the owner to make sure no one is missing or in distress.

AquaTAGs help connect boats, trailers, vehicles and gear back to their registered owner.

They can be read by any modern mobile phone and attached to almost anything you want to make identifiable.

So if something is left behind, lost overboard, or found washed up, AquaTAG helps take the guesswork out of who it belongs to.

Fantastic chat with the RNZ and the nine to noon team about our new AquaGPS marine tracker and supporting platform. Improving peace of mind for boaties and families on and off the water.

Love your thoughts on what we are doing, and hear how this might improve peace of mind for those at home when you are out on the water.

A huge weekend launching AquaGPS at The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show.

A clear theme from boaties and families was peace of mind: knowing where your boat or gear is, whether it is on the water, on the trailer, at the bach, or stored away.

The second big theme was always-on security for assets of all types.

A massive thank you to the One NZ team for four days of collaboration, energy and support. Jason Paris, your brand heroes did you proud.

Thank you also to The Hutchwilco New Zealand Boat Show for giving AquaGPS such a strong stage for its New Zealand launch.

If you missed us at the show, you can find out more at AquaGPS.co.nz, catch us online, or see us at the Mystery Creek Boat Show in Hamilton this August.

Thanks Jesse Ball, Nick Hatch, Iain Hook and Raajan for the launch energy.
