Your boat just got a lot easier to carry around.
YachtPilot App 2.0.0 is now available on the App Store and Google Play, and it's our biggest update yet. It has a clean new design, a brand-new set of features and a watchkeeper called Ray who never needs a coffee break.
Here's what's inside.
What's New
🤖 Ray, Your AI Watchkeeper
Ray checks your boat every 6 hours and gives a clear verdict: All good, Watch or Alert. Ask him anything ("Is she sheltered tonight?"), get a second opinion on any alert, read plain-English trip summaries, or let him set up alert rules for you. He only emails when something changes, so your inbox stays quiet.
📞 Critical Alert Phone Calls
If you don't acknowledge a critical alert within 10 minutes, YachtPilot will call you. It's the next best thing to someone knocking on your door.
👪 Share a Live Boat Page
Send your crew, boat manager or family a live, password-protected page of your boat. They don't need an account. Add an expected return time, and the page shows Overdue if you're not back. Your exact berth stays private.
🗺️ Trips, Logged Automatically
Every trip is recorded for you. Replay any voyage on the map with speed, wind, engine and fuel along the way, and rename, split or join trips to keep your log tidy.
📊 Reports
Chart your readings over 24 hours, 7 days or 30 days, compare them side by side and export to CSV.
What's Improved
- Quicker anchor alarm: arm it in seconds when you drop the hook
- Ready-made alert templates: battery, depth, wind, tanks, engine temperature, engine hours, bilge and more
- Weather and official warnings for your boat's location, not yours
- A fresh look with light and dark modes, easy to read in the cockpit by day or night
Everything on One Screen
Live data brings together wind, depth, battery, speed, heading, tanks, sea temperature and engines. Tap any reading to see its history. Set a geofence around your marina and know the moment she moves, or switch on Danger, Warning and Info alerts by push notification or email.
Get Started in 3 Steps
- Download the app (it's free to download)
- Pair your sensor and sign in with your account
- Turn on push notifications and your alerts, and you're monitoring
One Thing to Know
The app needs a YachtPilot sensor to work, and a YachtPilot Cloud subscription for remote access, alerts and Ray (a full year is included with every new sensor purchase). Sensor Connect+ and Sensor Connect+ Extreme also need a YachtPilot Annual Data Subscription for their built-in SIM.
Ray is an automated assessment based on your boat's sensors and local forecasts, so always apply your own judgement and check official sources before acting.
Don't Have a Sensor Yet?
Perfect timing. Our Black Friday sale is on now: 50% off YachtPilot sensors and bundles, ending 11:30pm AEST on 30 November 2026. The discount is applied automatically at checkout.

Fair winds! ⛵
