Events often happen in the middle of the night and sadly recipients often miss it if their phone is not next to their bed, only to wake up in the morning in despair. The Boat Fix team offers a new option for the personalized service that discerning boat owners expect in a premium, 24/7 monitoring combined solution to truly protect their investment.”
