Buying Guide

YachtPilot keeps you up to date in real time with everything happening on your boat. All sensors do the same job real time monitoring and instant alerts with no delays, giving you the best possible chance to act when it matters.

Each sensor connects seamlessly to your existing NMEA 2000 network and can monitor engines, bilge and water levels, depth, anchor drag, fuel and water tanks, wastewater, shore power, cabin temperature, GPS position, geofencing, weather forecasts, wind speed and direction. Please note your vessel will only monitor the above if those components are already connected to your NMEA 2000 network. If you need additional sensors, we have a full range available to add to your setup.

All sensors are 4G and LTE compatible and your data is stored indefinitely. Some insurers may look more favourably on vessels with active monitoring solutions installed, so it is worth checking with your insurer to see if you qualify for a discount. We can also build a custom solution for your specific needs, just get in touch.

Which sensor is right for you?

If you have onboard Wi-Fi such as Starlink we recommend the Sensor Pro. It uses your existing NMEA network and Wi-Fi connection to deliver real time monitoring with no data plan required.

If you do not have onboard Wi-Fi, we recommend the Sensor Connect+. It uses your existing NMEA network and a built in SIM card to keep your boat connected anywhere, no marina network needed.

If you are a charter or commercial operator or your boat regularly encounters rough conditions, we recommend the Sensor Connect+ Extreme. It has the same connectivity as the Connect+ with a shock absorbing casing and reinforced internal wiring built to handle whatever the sea throws at it.

Not all boats are set up the same. We also offer additional NMEA compatible sensors and modules to make sure your setup covers everything you need.
