Numerous products collect data and provide specific features in the marine industry, such as security alarms, anchor dragging alerts, and more. While each of these features is essential, they largely perform the same core function—gathering data and triggering alerts.
YachtPilot goes beyond simple data collection; it focuses on how that information can be leveraged for smarter decision-making. Our YachtPilot engine captures real-time sensor data and processes it simultaneously through two distinct decision engines. Locally, the onboard system makes immediate decisions based on common alerts, while a secondary cloud-based system captures and analyses data with greater specificity and customisation.
Unlike conventional applications that primarily offer anchor drag alarms, YachtPilot is designed with a broader perspective. As experienced boaters, we understand that boating safety encompasses far more than a single alert or GPS position. Factors such as wind conditions, battery levels, and depth are all critical to ensuring the security of your vessel, and our system integrates these elements to provide a comprehensive and intelligent monitoring solution far beyond the normal parameters.
Whether your boat is stationary—at anchor or in a marina—or underway, YachtPilot offers a range of configurable monitoring options to ensure the safety of your vessel. One particularly useful feature is our coolant alarm system, which provides real-time alerts to your mobile device if an engine begins to overheat or triggers a warning. This proactive monitoring helps prevent potential damage to your engines and ensures peace of mind while on the water. Alerts are received in real-time and from any registered device, so you don’t need to be on the boat or behind the helm to know what's happening.
Our alerts engine comes pre-configured by default, but it can be fully customized to suit the specific needs of your vessel. Since every boat is unique, a one-size-fits-all approach is not always effective. That's why we offer flexible customisation options.
Simply select the alerts you want to configure to enable real-time active monitoring until you choose to disable it. You also have full control to enable or disable specific alerts as needed, ensuring you receive only the notifications that matter most to you.
Customising alerts is simple and flexible to meet the specific needs of your vessel. For instance, Geofence movement alarms may need to be more precise for larger, less manoeuvrable sailboats, while smaller vessels equipped with bow thrusters can reposition more quickly.
Additionally, the size of the monitored area can be adjusted based on your setup—factors such as anchor chain length, anchor type. Whether you are onboard or away from the boat all play a role in determining the ideal geofencing parameters. This level of customisation ensures you receive accurate and relevant alerts tailored to your vessel's unique requirements.
YachtPilot seamlessly integrates with your onboard NMEA network, allowing you to expand your monitoring capabilities as you introduce new modules to your vessel. By connecting additional NMEA sensors, our system provides enhanced alerting options tailored to your needs.
We offer a comprehensive range of high-quality NMEA sensors, enabling you to customise your configuration and maximise the insights you gain from your boat. To assist in selecting the right components, we also provide detailed buying guides, helping you determine the most suitable modules and sensors based on your vessel type and monitoring requirements.
Stay Safe and enjoy your journey on board.
