History
The company was founded by Daniel A. Harper in 2006. Siren Marine won the 2012 Business plan competition (Technology and overall award). Their proprietary hardware allows its users to monitor, track and control their boat(s) including location tracking, anti-intruder alarms, security features and turning on or off of the spreader lights, the courtesy lights, a remote battery switch, HVAC, a manual bilge pump etc. The system sends the user alerts, information and confirmation messages as well as tracks the boat over Google maps from a mobile phone. Examples of the messages are: battery voltage, low voltage alerts, high bilge level alerts, shore power lost or recovered, daily status reports, anchor dragging alert, etc. The system has notably resulted in prevention of boat theft apart from convenience in daily monitoring.
The company received more media attention when it won cash prizes in a business plan competition in 2012 that it used to further boost its operations.
In 2015, Jonathan Banks, a Marine industry veteran with experience in both telecommunications and sailing became the COO of Siren Marine. Banks was the executive director of Sail America before he joined Siren Marine.
Siren Marine is currently used by a number of notable boat manufacturers and government and law enforcement operators.
