There are a couple guys who hang out in news:alt.security.alarms who have
done some really comprehensive boat alarms including monitoring using
cellular communications designed for alarm purposes.

Obviously communications may not work when off the coast of some desert
island in the middle of nowhere, but it works well when at your home
anchorage.

I'm looking for design ideas and components for an intrusion alarm for
the boat. A friend bought 2 IR xmit and 2 IR receiver units to mount
in the cockpit, but my thought is that irregular sunlight bouncing off
waves, etc is going to set this arrangement off.
