Technology in Focus
A detailed view of the Boateye360 C-1080 night vision camera units mounted on the Glacier Bay Isle Runner 2600. These rugged, high-performance cameras are engineered for marine environments and deliver near crystal-clear visuals in low-light conditions.

This is our testing rig, so we’re constantly adding and removing cameras. Please excuse the wiring. 

When we’re not working on cameras, we’re out offshore fishing ourselves. We know the risks of navigating in the dark because we’ve lived them. That’s why we built tools we actually trust and use—because we understand exactly what boat captains need when the sun goes down. Here’s one of our catches from 600 ft deep off the Florida coast..

 

Conclusion
The Boateye360 C-1080 night vision camera proved to be a game-changer aboard the Glacier Bay Isle Runner 2600. Whether navigating tight marinas or heading offshore in low light, the system delivered reliable, high-definition visuals that enhanced safety and confidence at very affordable price.
