NZ Boat Register's NFC Boat ID Tags provide a simple, secure way to identify lost or stolen watercraft without exposing personal details.

The NZ Boat Register's NFC-powered Boat ID Tags provide a discreet and durable solution for quick and secure identification of your watercraft. These 30mm x 30mm waterproof, battery-free tags can be easily attached to motorboats, jet skis, kayaks, yachts, dinghies, diving floats, or any other floating gear.

Designed for convenience and reliability, they enable anyone to scan a lost or found boat’s tag using a smartphone, instantly accessing the boat’s public registration details while keeping the owner's private information secure.

Ideal for theft recovery or reuniting lost boats with their owners, these tags simplify safeguarding your watercraft. The system ensures secure contact through the NZ Boat Register without exposing personal details. With a straightforward setup process, register your boat, attach the tag, and you’re ready.
The tags combine practicality with peace of mind. Whether for theft protection or everyday use, the tags offer an effortless way to ensure your boat is never truly lost.
