Perimeter Security for Marinas
A marina can be home to millions of dollars’ worth of vessels, equipment, and marine infrastructure that attracts criminals. Marina operators know the frustration of repeated security breaches, watching helplessly as theft and vandalism destroy valuable property. AMAROK delivers multi-layered perimeter security solutions tailored to secure marinas against various threats.
Rising Marina Security Threats
The marina industry has become a prime target for organized crime, with sophisticated theft operations targeting waterfront properties. Security threats that are devastating to marinas include:
- Boat and engine theft: Thieves target entire boats from marinas to resell for parts. According to the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) 2023 report, only 54% of stolen boats were recovered. Criminals also steal engines for resale or parts, such as the powerhead or cooling systems.
- Vandalism and property destruction: Beyond theft, damage to boats, docks, and other property is common. Metal thieves can strip marina buildings and vessels of copper and other valuable scrap metal.
- Unauthorized access: Trespassers may sleep on boats docked in the marina at night and leave behind drug paraphernalia, creating health hazards and liability risks.
- Cargo and equipment theft: Thieves target cargo on boats, with 884 cargo theft incidents reported in the second quarter of 2025 alone, representing a 13% increase from the same period in 2024. Boating and marina equipment are also attractive targets, especially for opportunistic thieves.
Criminals know that marinas have multiple vulnerabilities. Isolated waterfront locations provide cover, valuable assets sit unprotected, and security guards may not respond quickly enough. AMAROK offers integrated perimeter security solutions to protect your marina.
