I use a spot tracker often when kayaking. Have posted several threads on here with tracking feature so OB could follow along real time.

It's very convenient, waterproof and works well.

You can also use the preprogrammed message buttons to check in with friends/ family and let them know you locations and that you're ok.

Only real issue was when climbing mt rainier, the mountain interfered with satellite triangulation and it didn't work well.

Looks like spot would cost you more over time with subscription costs.

It is satellite based so broad coverage while out in open which would be the case in your boat.

You do have to be able to push the button to call for help. If you have tracking feature anyone can check on your location at anytime if you give them web link.
